You were always the dutiful daughter giving your all and hope it all works out with the last of the odds and ends. I know when my mom passed, her Medicare and FEHB BCBS covered everything but the couple days she was in a hospice ($500/day that I picked up).
And yeah there comes that point when the finality hits (although in my family's case, it took about a year to get her house ready for sale and finally sold - thankfully she had paid off the mortgage 40 years earlier and fortunately she was lucid enough to sign off on a check for what would be her final estate taxes). With my sisters and I, it was a team effort with each taking on a critical part of the process, but we got it done and I know you will too.

Take some of the love you had for her, love that feels like it has no place to go now, and spend that on yourself
