[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 16958309, member: 190070"] Thanks, man. A little more venting. Before my dad and my aunt I was dealing with a similar situation with my stepmom. She had parkinsons and fell in the middle of COVID. She ended up in a nursing home for a couple of months and my dad could not visit her. It was very tough on him. My dad tried to take care of her when she was discharged but it was clear that he was not up to the task. I brought in home health aids twice a day. She was soon immobile and I had to convert their bedroom into a hospital room with lift, hospital bed, the whole 9 yards. Eventually I put her in home hospice, which lasted for 18 months. I kept waiting for her to die but she never did. Watching all of this happen before his eyes is what ultimately killed my dad. The worst of it is that I have two step siblings and these ****ers did absolutely nothing. My dad was obviously a bit reluctant to put his wife in hospice so I had to coordinate an entire theatre around the decision, with a meeting between all the children, him and the hospice nurse to get him on board. In the middle of the meeting my **** step sister got up and left because her feelings got hurt. She was no help with her own mom, nor with my dad and did not give him the time of day as he withered away in loneliness. I hope she dies after a long drawn out battle with bone cancer. [/QUOTE]
