[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 234307"] My parents were married 57 years when my father passed away. Same there. One just couldn't live without the other. My mother suffered a stroke. This first stroke affected the numbers portion of her brain. She could not use the phone, play cards, anything with numbers. Otherwise she seemed fine. Shortly after she suffered a major stroke. This affected her speech. She would repeat the same thing over and over. "I ate there" You would talk to her and the same response. My father had Parkinson's Disease for 20+ years. This also affects the brain. With both the Parkinson's and Stoke, I have learned more than I ever wanted to know about the progression and recovery. Stay strong. mother in law is really going to need support. Also, regarding the Will and property. Knowing my father would eventually end up in a nursing home they liquidated their property (cottage in door county). Lots of legal ins and outs, but they took care of it all before the nursing home. Which has to be done like 3 years prior to entering a nursing home. good luck. PM if you want more info. [/QUOTE]
