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.

You're in a tough situation. You can't do everything. It's impossible. While the decision is difficult, you made the right call. She needs appropriate care and hospice does a wonderful job. Good luck to you.
