[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 701395, member: 1233"] I am so very sorry that you have to cope with this situation. Have you been able to speak to her doctors to hear her actual prognosis and the timeline the doctors are projecting? If she has weeks it would be different than if she has months or years left. Your other children MUST be considered in every decision. If having your daughter in your home under hospice is not healthy for the young ones, then you must prioritize the young ones, period. If other relatives have other opinions, that is none of your business. They can split up to deal with her if they choose to, but that must be their choice and not yours. It is their life and their choice. Sadly, after a week or two with your daughter, they will probably regret the decision if your daughter is as disorganized and mentally ill as she seems. Please do not let your relatives/friends use their choices to make you feel bad. I strongly suggest finding a hospice with inpatient services. it is likely that insurance or medicaid will pay for this, and it would be healthier for all considered if she would agree to this. She may want to use the hospice medications/services along with party drugs, even knowing how dangerous this is Of course you cannot change this, but it would be better for her to do this out of your home. If her prognosis is longer than weeks, you might want to consider applying for guardianship of her, her mental status may make it something that is possible, and that could help you in getting her into an inpatient hospice or hospital program. She sounds like she needs intensive help to make her remaining time into something positive. Of course this may be a responsibility that you are not able to handle, and that is absolutely okay.
