I am constantly working to try to get her to understand that mother needs to get out of that bed. She allows her to sit up to comp her hair, feed her, etc. I am afraid that she is buying into this hospice mentality and I see mother differently. How do I get her to understand just simple things while being a caregiver?
As heartbreaking as it is to see your mom in this condition the reality is that as long as she is eating, drinking and eliminating this could go on for a very long time, very hard for one person to manage without a strong support system in place.
