@Jordan2, I'm thinking about you and your sweet mother. This is a very difficult time for all three of you and there are many here who are ready to give you support with our thoughts and our own experiences. It's very hard to see a parent go through this, especially at the age your mother is.

 

You've been a wonderful daughter to her. Pray for strength as you deal with each day and continue to support her as you have. We all must face the loss of our beloved parents, but we hold our memories close to us and that will never change....it helps us.

 

You and your sister will survive this difficult time....it's not easy, as many of us will attest, but please know that we are here when you need some support. Bless you and prayers for your sweet mother.

@Jordan2  My best friend just put her mother in a hospice house so she can have a respite for awhile. They come to your home also. They are Angels and helped with my husband. They are there to help you. 
  Try to rest, you have done your very best. ❤️

@Jordan2  I did not read the replies

 

You and your Mother are in my prayers

 

 

My Dad was soooo ill for soooo long  I felt bad that he held on for so long  He was not the same man ill as he was healthy.

 

He's in my heart forever  I dream about him sometimes  We talk about him all the time

 

He's still here

@Jordan2  I work in a nursing home and strongly suggest you get hospice involved. They will provide the extra attention for your mom that the nursing home can not. People are under the impression that hospice is for the end days and it is not. They will be there for your mom and your needs as well. 


@Jordan2   ITA with @panda1234 .  Look into hospice.  With your mother's age and recent history, there's a very good chance she will be accepted.  It's for your mother and for you.  She possibly could be cared for at home where you both want her to be.

I am so sorry for everything you and your mother and your family  are going thru.   I don't know if anyone else said this but your mother's hip could have broken first causing her to fall that is what happened to my mother.

@Jordan2 My heart goes out to you.  I was caregiver for my mom for 14 months at home before she passed.  It was not easy but I was glad I could care for her with help of Hospice.  It was still a major undertaking even with the help I received.  She was 93 when she passed.  Thank goodness she was of sound mind, just could not walk.  It sounds like you have done everything in your power for your mother.  Now is the time your mother needs more skilled care.  I can tell you love her and want the best for her.  Letting others do what you cannot for her shows how much you care.  I think about my mother everyday and know in my heart I did everything within my power to make her last days happy and comfortable.  You know in your heart your mother needs more help than you can provide.  Your mother is still with you and you are doing what you know must be done.  I hope she will adjust to her new surroundings and you can spend time with her and be at peace knowing the decision was the correct one.

Jordan2-    I'm so sorry about this. Accept that you did all you could. You didn't let your mom down. đź’—
