Thanks for your reply. I'm wondering if there was any kind of police investigation into any of this, and just when he took out that insurance policy on her. I can't shake the feeling or intuition that her puke of a husband was involved in causing her condition. Maybe he planned her demise for the insurance money, but things went awry for him when she didn't die. Does anyone know how long after she suffered the heart attack and subsequent brain damage, that her husband began his pursuit to help her die through the courts? Or, how long has he been with this woman?

Hospice care is only for the terminally ill -- Usually within six months of predicted death. That's the qualification for admission to hospices in my area. I give to the local hospice system because my Dad used their services when he was dying of cancer. They provide visiting nurses to assist caregivers in home care situations, also help pay the cost of medications incl pain medications to ease suffering.

I understand that it took 8 years for him to "recall" that she hadn't wanted to be kept alive. According to her brother, it was in 1998.
