The whole descri...Erica, my heart goes out to you. The whole description of what happened to M's health after his wife died is one I'm familiar with intimately. My mother's health rapidly declined. She took to her bed about 2 months after my step-father died and she died a year later. The visual image your words create of M in the nursing home are vivid and real. Our experience was different in details but not in the overall picture.<br /><br />I'm not surprised that your stepsister acts differently now. Death and the anticipation of death are huge, life changing. Sometimes for the better in a family. (As here.) Sometimes, of course, for the worse. If I had to guess, I expect your stepsister's emotions will be all over the lot until well after M dies. Expect some angry phone calls and some pleasant ones. Wait before you decide she hasn't changed for the better.<br /><br />Ditto re dying with dignity. In the end, both my parents stopped eating to hasten the finale.<br /><br />All of the above is merely my opinion. Warm hug.
