There is a device called a Hoyer lift that is used to help lift patients. It will make moving your mom quite easy. The physical therapist will help you get one. I lurk on this site daily and am very fond of everyone in the orb.
I too suffer from chronic depression and I can’t imagine how people managed to deal with it when it was untreatable and unmentionable. You do the world an important service by talking about it. You also unleash the support of this amazing group of fans. I wish you all the best.
