I lost my son last Aug.He took his life at 44 years old.I lost my sister 2 weeks later due to the shock of my son’s death.She went into cardiac arrest.My other sister due to the shock of my son and sister’s death lost 60 pounds in 3 months and was told last Thanksgiving she had cancer of the bowel and had 6 months to live.She has a mental illness but has done well living on her own.I am dealing with her now and there is a team of us.I respect her wishes but would like to see a visiting nurse and I am doing a conference call later today or tom. to see the next step.She is pretty smart and heads me off so I am going to need some help.She is going to die and she is about an hour from me so it’s not like I can check in often.She has to give us something or I will fight her on this.I want a visiting nurse and that’s it.

Oh, hear heart. I knew it was very sad. I’m so, so sorry. Just this last August? You had other tragedies last year, too, no? Oh, fatima. I just don’t know what to say that could comfort you - obviously nothing could - but I know your faith is great.

So sorry for your losses. You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for you all.

imo,with a dr’s diagnosis of 6 months, your sister should be entitled to in-home hospice services/care at minimal/no cost to your family. Hospice, as you probably know, can do laundry, shopping, errands, respite care, anything to help ease the passing. It’s worth checking into, thru her doctor or hospital. I admire your strength.

Have you checked with the Health Department? In some states they provide free or minimal charge assistance in such cases.

Wishing you the best in these hard times.
