[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP. My MIL died of pancreatic cancer and both she and FIL were in total denial about what the endgame would be. There really is only one endgame, and the question is how much suffering your dad and mom are willing to endure before then. With my MIL, there was so much unnecessary suffering. I think she was willing to throw in the towel sooner but my FIL was so opposed to stopping treatment. So much magical thinking on his part. I think it's time for a conversation, if possible, with both parents, separate or together, about what they want your dad's last weeks/days to look like. If you live in a medical aid in dying state that's also something to look into if that's something they're open to. It definitely doesn't seem like the right time to coordinate trying to get into a CCRC or other long-term living situation for your mom, though, and having to clean out, move, etc. One step at a time.[/quote]
