[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you everyone.  I'm just so tired...

My mother went through a stage pre-diagnosis that is common in Alzheimer's patients where she threw nearly everything away.  Food, telephones, all important papers (including my Dad's death certificate and her marriage license) so tracking everything down has been a huge undertaking alone.  It is so difficult to get a death certificate!  I didn't even have my Dad's SS # as he has been dead for over fifteen years.  We've been fighting to get her disability insurance from work to kick in but it has been a struggle and takes forever.  We still pay her health insurance premiums (thank you Obama - they couldn't cut her off!) so she can still have good doctors and specialists but DH has to work extra hours to cover that expense as well.  I wish we could afford a weekend aide for my Mom but we just can't right now.

We have a good elder attorney (again - more money spent) as I had to get Power of Attorney to even force her to come live with us - it's a long involved saga...

I'm looking into everything that I can.  Most free Senior Centers will not take Alzheimer's sufferers because they tend to wander off.

Again, thanks for the empathy.  I just have to get thru the next three days with my beautiful children and once loving and sane mother.  [/quote]

You can find your dads SS # online. I found my grandfather's shortly after the internet became popular. He died in the 80s. The SS # is public since he is dead. No one can use it for fraud.[/quote]
