Attempting to get help with Mom

I am attempting to get some help with Mom. This morning a woman came to evaluate Mom for someone to bath Mom and assist with the housework. I can get someone to stuff for Mom such as make her bed and fix her meal. This is a help, as well as someone to stay with Mom when I am out of the house.

Mom is not going to like it, but there is not other choice. I cannot do everything. It is difficult for me to give Mom a bath; I cannot lift her out of the tub and someone needs to wash her hair because she cannot do it herself. I know Mom thinks she can do this stuff for herself, but she cannot and I need assistance to care for her.

I will be happy if I can get someone to give Mom a bath. I do what I have to do, but impossible for me to do everything. I wish I could do everything for Mom, but I have to admit my limitations. I am not looking forward to Mom’s reaction.
