Hello.......husband’s family of 5 brothers and sisters, Mom passed of stroke 3 months ago...shortly after lock down in their city. Dementia diagnosed 9 years before. Living with husband, still working, refusing to leave his self made business for her care.....2 siblings in town (we live out of town) swoop in. Do NOT reach out to ANY outside agencies...until forced to get some minimal help...insist on picking up all the pieces. Now there is so much anger, bitterness, resentment, and continued denial over Dad (91!!!) his grief, his needs......just a nasty, vicious cycle......material needs not an issue. We just returned from giving Dad 16 days at his house and trying to stay sane. How do I even ask a question.....? Still processing a hell of a 16 days and yet I still love my father in law......it was just so sad...
