Wants2Fly ~ Please know that our thoughts & prayers will be with you. I know this is going to be difficult for you. "Mom" will undoubtedly want you to take her home, and we all know that isn't going to be possible. I hope you've found a good home that is able to take care of her.
Being the child of a dependent parent is a very difficult thing. My ex-mother in law was very dependent, and we did have to put her in an assisted living home. She could be quite a handful, and there was no way WE could take care of her. She could be sneaky too -- she had to be watched, and I was working at the time, so that was impossible.
I hope that once she is settled into her new place, that you feel less worried about her -- less stressed. At least you will know that she is being looked after, being bathed & fed properly, and given her medications in a timely manner. That always worried me about my mother in law -- she took too MANY medications, and she got loopy! Once she went into the home, she started making sense!
Anyway, we'll be thinking about you and hoping things go well. God bless & hope you have a safe trip. Hugs, Lee
