Sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she is as comfortable as can be. As for your wife, as everyone has said, it was an accident, you were not hurt and you handled it well. As with everything we do, you two, at some point will look back and hope you can chuckle about it. Amazing what life hands us moment by moment.
Hope your wife does not get down on herself too bad. Give her a big ol hug and let her know everything will be fine...Hang in there.....

Keep walking, you'll make it through this bad patch and be better and stronger for it. Good on you to not make a simple misfortune into something mean, or evil. Like you said, order parts, fix the bike, move on. Always good advice, but just now you've got bigger fish to fry. I think of the final days of a loved one like the time before someone leaves you, headed out on a long journey. You spend the time you can with them, reliving moments of your lives together. But eventually, the time comes when you'll have to let them go. Remember, though some say its forever, others warrant the parting will be only temporary, there will be a reunion for you down the road.

Sorry to hear about your mom. I just lost my mother-in-law last week. It come as a shock to some, but my mom-in-law and I grew close over the course of 31 years. I will truly miss her. It has taken my wife and I over a week to come to terms with it. She went quicker than we had expected. My first day back to work 5 days after her passing I was still in a fog. I was really preoccupied and distracted. I can surely understand and sympathize with you and your wife. I hope that all ends well. Machines can be fixed, our emotions are much tougher to mend.

Thanks all for the supportive words. My wife is appreciative of the way I've been. Unfortunately and sadly have to update that my mom passed away a few hours ago. Again, family IS the most important thing.

Glad you're OK. Sorry to hear about your troubles and the passing of your mother. I lost my mother about 13 years ago at the age of 58. I lost my dad four years after that, at 65. It's a strange thing ... I always used to call my mom when anything real good or real bad happened. Then, it was my dad that I would call. It was a strange feeling the first time something real good/bad happened and I picked up the phone and realized, there's nobody to call. Your family is all you've got. Take care of them. It sounds like you are!
God bless and ride safe! And, next time, try it the other way around and follow HER!
