[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so very sorry. I’ve lost both my parents and my husband was there for me each time. You’re doing the right thing by trying to support your wife through this awful period. Do you have contact information for any lawyers, accountants, etc that your FIL has? A list of all bank accounts and such? I assume your MIL has all this, but being able to help take the reign with logistics when others are dealing with grief is very helpful. I’m so sorry, again.

Agree. My husband was the hugest comfort to me and my siblings and my mother when my dad had a similar experience.

He took over everything with our two kids.  He talked to them about their beloved grandpa and death and had them write letters and make cards (12 and 9 at the time). He did everything at home so that I could be with my mom and dad.  My sister, mom and I took shifts in the hospital. I had my mom stay with us while he was in the hospital because he was worried about her driving at night or under stress. He had a glass of wine for us after a long day, etc.  He helped my mom with finances, accounts, etc.

Supporting the house and keeping the wheels running at home so your spouse can 100% focus on dad and mom is the best. We were able to have my dad transported home and put on hospice. He hated hospitals and didn't want to die in one. He was surrounded by loved ones in his beloved home of 50 years, with his favorite music, etc. He was not able to communicate by the time he got home.  [/quote]
