How can I tell my mom I need a break?

If I don't get a break from my husband with dementia I'm going to break down, I just feel it. He's now 69, me 66. It's been one crisis after another for the last 8yrs. I can't afford to have a caregiver more than the 2 days I am able to work part time. I need to be working much more. How does hospice help for short term stays--2 weeks maybe? So I can get a break as well as look into more employment. I'm in NC.
