[QUOTE="witzend, post: 681247, member: 99"] I would contact Senior Services. If she wants to be cared for in a home and he is refusing that could be considered elder abuse. Also, she should be talking to her doctor about 'end of life care'. Knowing that the doctor can tell you nothing, you can write a letter to the doctor asking that he or she not tell them who wrote or even that anyone wrote, but that you are concerned for the following reasons... He could force an appointment. She should at the very least be receiving paliative care, and I would suggest that to the doctor. father in law would not be able to administer that initially, at least not until he was shown how and shown that he was trustworthy. Dying is ugly. We all do it. But it doesn't have to be [I]that[/I] ugly. It's hard that it is such a difficult thing to talk about. We're all so scared, and the secretive nature of it does not help.
