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 may feel like you failed, but really its quite the opposite. You took the best care of her by ensuring shes getting proper care from those that can give it to her around the clock. Im sure that was not an easy decision, but one made out of love, care, and compassion. Kudos to You!
