[quote=Anonymous]While I understand your feelings, as someone who's mom has had a long, slow decline with Alzheimers for over 8 years now, let me advise you to let go of this need you have to somehow fix this problem or do something constructive. You simply must accept that there is nothing any medications or further assessments or studies or interventions will achieve. It would be a good outcome if my mom were to pass from a heart attack due to high cholesterol and I wish that for her rather than the alternative. Your focus should be on supporting your FIL in his decision, offering support where he will accept it (send food, flowers, photos, and call and text) and spending whatever good time you can with your MIL. Funnel your need to feel in control by researching memory care options and figuring out a plan for when the crisis occurs, as someone above said. [/quote]
