[quote=Anonymous]Have DH begin some open dialogue on end of life issues; funeral arrangements, for instance. It’s all uncomfortable, so maybe DH approaches all in a detached, professional way. Hey Dad, do you guys have LT care insurance? Here’s what we’re looking into now as you get people… Baby steps. And word of warning: be prepared for DH to be rebuffed or ignored. He needs to keep asking. You, DW, have to stay out of the conversation. Provide support and listen but don’t be physically present lest you be accused of Gandhi g up in ILs. Stay neutral! Also, all fine and dandy until the shit hits the fan and I promise and know that precipitating events happen in a flash. It’s one fall, or surgery, or diagnosis or unpaid mortgage etc etc that causes a catastrophic downfall. Ask me how I know! It’s nearly impossible once something awful happens to make decisions, legal or otherwise, especially if there are no plans in place.[/quote]
