[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP is being unfairly criticised here. Some of you seem to think that OP should be making decisions about her aunt's end of life care. Why? She is her aunt's NIECE, not her aunt's daughter. OP stated from the start that she comes from a large family with 30+ nieces and nephews. Why should OP make all the effort here while other family members can sit back and have a nice life? OP just happens to be the one who is physically there in person. This doesn't mean she should be burdened with end of life decisions. [/quote] This is correct. Thank you. Add to this, that my aunt gave another niece medical power of attorney and a friend power of attorney. I have no legal power at all. All I can do is ensure she doesn’t die in her own waste, in dire pain, since there is no hospice bed. I am grateful for the very caring social worker, very caring hospice nurse/aids/clergy, and a very caring friend who my aunt sometimes treated like garbage. [/quote]
