Having to put Mom in nursing home

Well it looks like the time that I have dreaded for so long is finally here. My mom is 92 and her health has gotten much worse in the last 2 years or so. We can't keep her out of the hospital or rehab. She's been having one urinary tract infection after the other, and then developed C diff in her colon from all the antibiotics. We met with the elder law attorney the other day and got the ball rolling to apply for Medicaid. We are faced with selling her home, and trying to make her money last until Medicaid kicks in. I know it hasn't really hit me yet, but I'm already realizing just how tough this is going to be for all of us. I'm sure the tears will come, but I'm trying right now to act strong, at least in front of Mom. Have any of you guys or gals had to deal with this?
