Support in palliative care

I was heavily involved in the palliative care of my Mum who has since passed away. Because she was stable during her time in hospital she had to move out to release the bed. There wasn't enough care options available for her to live with comfortably with me and instead had to go to a nursing home. There was limited pastoral care offered in hospital and no pastoral at all in the nursing home. Her mental health suffered as a result. There also needs to be more active pastoral care for families. I didn't feel comfortable seeking out anyone for help for myself but would have felt differently if approached.. Not all nurses in palliative care are suited to the level of care that is required particularly in a nursing home setting.
