[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also did not read OP’s post as being horrible. MIL is grieving and is probably anxious about living alone for the first time in decades. While her request is understandable, it is not at all reasonable. I would be upset about it as well.

Op, does your husband have siblings? Is anyone else helping out? What does your husband say about this?[/quote]
When a person loses a longtime life partner that they actually loved, do you really think they are thinking reasonably at the time? She is barely breathing, holding on. I don't recommend anyone finding this out, so I won't say walk in MIL shoes right now. I know there are a lot of posters on DCUM who are married for convenience and would never fully understand the loss of such a person. Some of you would look at the death as relief, but I am going to give MIL the benefit of the doubt that she is deeply grieving the loss of a husband that she loved, and rationality in the first months is not available. With that said, the husband should consider moving his mom closer to him and the family. Let MIL decline the offer, but it should be extended. [/quote]
