[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. This is a really hard position to be in and I can't believe the amount of grief you're getting from people insisting you MUST have misheard the social workers and lawyers you talked to, there MUST be a simple and straightforward answer. It's the "Job's friends" reaction - this sounds so bad, it must be your fault!

My MIL died of pancreatic cancer a few months ago and it was really terrible but awfully fast. I hope your aunt is able to patch together enough help to get through these last days. Everything you do contributes even though it shouldn't all be on you. [/quote]

It’s actually kind of hilarious. We DID hire a private caregiver who is 24/7, but can’t do it totally alone so I stay to help. I just woke up and looked in on my aunt, and even though nurse said she is probably within 24 hours of probable death (still no bed at the hospice center) she’s 1/2 way out of bed. The only thing that stopped her is her weakness. There is no way one caregiver could do this all on their own. I’ve been off and on crying from exhaustion for days. The ironic thing is there are two of the hospice homes dedicated to pand*mic victims and they are almost empty, while their other three are full. [/quote]
