[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is coordinating her care?
It is so hard when a LO makes terrible decisions and you want to help but have limited power to do so. I'm sorry for your cousin and for you, OP.

She is coordinating her own care. Neglected to mention that she was released to assisted living after her most recent hospitalization, but checked herself out. Has also refused one of those fall buttons.

Intellectually, I get that she has the right to do this. And I can opt not to participate. But damn, that will leave me feeling like a sh*t human.

It’s hard to watch. People are so complicated.[/quote]
You can participate in a way that is comfortable for you and accept the inherent awfulness of the situation. Remember that you are not responsible for what you cannot control. What do you think you could do that she would accept or want? Are you able to visit even though the house is gross? I suppose you could call APS, but given that she is dying, I would not intrude on her autonomy. [/quote]
