My mom on hospice just went to a home

I have been taking care of my 84 year old mom on hospice and working full time for the last 2 years. She just had to go to a nursing home yesterday because she needs so much more care than I can do. I feel like such a failure. She wanted to die at home. We had different people come to the house to help and now no one will come and I feel like I am all alone now.

Do not worry, dear friend. You should be proud that you took good care of your mother all these years and I am sure she will also know it. With you not getting younger day by day, it can be tough to manage things alone. Taking care of any old people is very tough and it can be hard. You have done greeat job till now - be proud!

And I hope your mom does not suffer much in life.
