[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s absolutely nothing you can do, maddening as it is; she has the ability to make her own choices, as terrible as they may seem. [/quote] This. She is taking a risk and if she is cognitively competent to make her own decisions, it is her right to make BAD ones. A lot of older people are like “if I die then I die”—but You might try pointing out to her that there are worse things than risk of death though….like paralysis from a fall. This got through to my mom particularly because she doesn’t want to be a burden on anyone.[/quote]
