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.

It's very difficult to care for an aging parent. It requires a lot of time and skill. My own father reached a point where he simply couldn't help himself...and it required two and sometimes three people just to lift and move him.
