I had no idea what hospice was all about no one at our hospital explained it to me! A mere death squad! They knew I was burned out & sleep deprived. I took her to ER for a foot issue and they pronounced her terminal not worthy for skilled nursing "take her home & put her on hospice!" I was complicit in my mother's death and am horrified I didn't stop it. Our primary docter never showed up nor called me! Her foot was wrapped like a tourniquet & I discovered it 6 days later! I failed to stop the morphine & call 911! Mom was reading her poetry to the nurses before she came home! She was not terminal within 6 months...they lied! the hospitals contract with hospice..it's all about $$$$$$
I just woke up after 5 years 24/7 caregiving...PTSD I deserve it..I failed my beautiful Mom. It should have been me...
You are incredible and don't let yourself tell you otherwise.
