3. I feel for you

I went through all of the above with my mother. At one point I told the social worker that I was beginning to wonder if she was getting a 'kick back' from the nursing home.
I wanted to bring my mother who was obviously dying home from the hospital to die in her own bed with her cat beside her and the social worker fought me every step of the way. She wanted me to put her in a nursing home. Finally a house doctor stepped in and told the SW to leave the hospital room and then made arrangements for hospice care in our home.
