Mom is 101 and living in a nursing home for the past year. Although she is pretty sharp for her age, she doesn't fully understand that she will never be able to go home because she now requires 24 hour care. Every visit she mentions going home and that she will not sell her house. We have to sell it. Do we tell her? I am afraid it will crush her spirit. Siblings feel she has to know. Suggestions and ideas appreciated.
Good luck
I think not telling your mom about selling her house would be the right thing to do. Telling her would serve no purpose and as you said, might crush her spirit. But I have to wonder if you will need her signature on documents in order to sell? If so, won't she have to be told anyway?
