[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I really appreciate everyone's thoughts and suggestions. It's very, very helpful. I just went through and wrote every suggestion down on a yellow pad. Paper is now pinned on the wall (labeled: "Mom.") She's definitely digging heels in, so I also like the suggestions for framing the conversation, eg: (a) the idea that we're trying to help maintain her independence/autonomy, and this is how we do it, (b) every adult, regardless of age, needs their affairs in order such that another adult could step in and keep things running, and (c) she'd probably prefer her kids make decisions on her behalf than an unknown court-appointed social worker. SUPER helpful, all of it. I'm going to get that Amazon book, too. The title might be a bit much for Mom! But will be helpful to me as I try to understand this new landscape. Honestly, the whole thing sucks. But being able to ask for help, and getting it, helps. Thank you. [/quote]
