[quote=Anonymous]I have no recommendations, OP. I am going through this with my mother right now, as well. My dad died in December, she was moved into assisted living and is very depressed. I will say, right after my dad died--when she had had a fall and was in skilled nursing next door to him--it was much worse. After two months, we moved  into her a small, assisted living room, and it is depressing. She told me many times, she just hopes she dies soon. She lives only a 3-hour-drive away, but with a full-time job and one teenager still at home, it's hard to get there even once a week. With all that said, I was just there the other day, and she is much more content. The delirium and depression of these health issues and hospital stays is pretty hard on them. Your MIL may also fall into a slightly more contended state once she gets out of the hospital--well, a few weeks after. I still contend that we are living way longer than we should with all the healthcare that allows our bodies to outlive our brains. I hope I can find a way to escape that. It is a miserable way to live. [/quote]
