[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry to say this at what is an incredibly devastating and stressful time, but please consider that your mother in law may be a better candidate for hospice than a long term care facility. If she is not eating, and in the state you describe... it can be very hard for family to see that it is time to transition to end of life care, as opposed to prolonging life. I say this as someone whose own grandfather had serious and unnecessary surgery about a week before he died. We would have been better off discussing a palliative care plan, but were all in denial. I wish you all the best as you navigate this incredibly challenging situation. [/quote] OP here. She is a DNR at this time so if she does decline it will be the end. FIL does not include my husband in the healthcare conversations - but I doubt hospice care has been brought up. She would be eligible for a palliative care referral, though.[/quote]
