[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Get a grip on yourself, OP. You and your husband are not responsible for your in-laws' comfort in their waning years. There are government agencies that help keep seniors keep body and soul together - call their county's senior helpline and ask what services are available for your FIL and MIL. It could be meals on wheels, or something else. When they cannot live independently, they can go into a Medicaid facility. For the funeral, do your due diligence on the VA option. Make all the calls. Pitch in whatever is needed for a minimalist funeral. The dead won't care, and the living can't afford fancy, so minimal it is. If FIL and MIL can't afford to attend, they can't afford to attend. There is no need to panic over the future. Your first duty is to your children. You will not cover basic costs for your in-laws. Period. [/quote] A minimalist funeral with a pine box is 10k, fwiw.[/quote]
