[quote=Anonymous]OP, your stepmother has a lot to process in a very short amount of time - it sounds like she's saying no visitors as a way to protect herself/try to take some control in a situation that probably feels like she has very little control over. She may well change her mind as things move along, but support her where she's at right now. My FIL passed away in the fall after a long struggle with cancer. There were lots of times he wasn't up for visitors/couldn't have visitors, so we dropped off food. Made me feel like I was helping him and my MIL in some small way, and let them know we were thinking of them and cared about them. Our kids mailed and dropped off pictures they drew. You can offer support in lots of ways, and sometimes what people need isn't as big as the support we're ready to jump in with. [/quote]
