What about home hospice care? Is there such a service in their area? I know that hospice helped a lot when my FIL was very ill.Queenie. . .https://www.blogger.com/profile/00666609807461763029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261234814877775245.post-68795260950437845542009-08-18T00:09:12.533-04:002009-08-18T00:09:12.533-04:00I am so sorry about your grandfather.

I am going through my own version of crazy making grief with my in-laws right now, and I understand how hard it can be to negotiate all the complexity it can bring up - you are so right that it brings all dysfunction right to the surface. <br /><br />Keeping you and your family in my thoughts, and wishing you many more pleasant weekends and relaxing days.annacyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461037288546901657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261234814877775245.post-65880270560268331742009-08-17T16:38:40.687-04:002009-08-17T16:38:40.687-04:00It sounds like an awesome weekend.

What a trying situation to be in when you aren't close enough to help physically. And yes, grief makes families crazy sometimes. I know that at a critical point in my childhood, my mom just kind of checked out for a bit when her mother passed away unexpectedly. It sucks and there's not much that can be done since we all process sadness so differently. <br /><br />Wishing your family peace.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056463808792013011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261234814877775245.post-1316262631835682872009-08-17T08:33:16.308-04:002009-08-17T08:33:16.308-04:00I'm sorry your grandfather is ill, and that yo...I'm sorry your grandfather is ill, and that your family is struggling with his treatment. It's sad, how problems in older folks can pile up and cascade, leaving those around them flabbergasted (something similar happened with my extremely stubborn granddad not long ago).<br /><br />I hope he finds some comfort and freedom from his suffering, and that all the family stuff gets sorted out.Shinejilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353174053245279899noreply@blogger.com
