[QUOTE="DDD, post: 393507, member: 35"] I would assume that her call was generated by her fears for the future. The wording sounded wrong, of course, but since she and her sister are all alone she may be in panic mode knowing that she can't handle all the responsibility. I'd give her the benefit of a doubt. in my humble opinion it makes sense to call or meet with her and ask specifically what the care schedule will be. Then make a commitment that you feel certain you can keep...no matter how small. Picking up medications? Bringing meals on specific days? Whatever you can do with-o stressing out your family. I imagine that the sister is hoping for a huge amount of help but that is not reasonable. Knowing that one or two chores are being taken care of will allow her to make plans for the remainder. I'm sorry your friend is ill and know that you can be relied upon to ease a burden or two. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
