bitter irony & prayer request

Sounds like she is grieving herself to death. I always said if my mom dies first daddy would not be to far behind.. Hugs to you and prayers for MIL and dear friends daughter. My daughter is 24 and that would be hard.

Oh, I'm so sorry about all this. I know it's so hard! I think when people want to die, they usually see absolutely nothing to look forward to, are in emotional anguish, and just want the pain to end. I hope your MIL will be encouraged somehow.

She (your MIL) needs to find a new center for her life. Unfortunately, she has to decide she needs and wants to do that. You cannot find it for her.

Sending prayers your way.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words, especially the hard earned wisdom from fernykins.

I usually read the forum from my blackberry, so I haven't been about to give the thanks and hugs to all that I would like to.

My friends daughter is still hanging by a thread, back on the sedatives and ventilator. My MIL received a letter this week indicating she has a space in senior housing starting mid may and that seems to have perked her up a bit. DH and I met with the elder services coordinator and feel like we at least know the resources to contact if and when we need them.

I am also realizing my pregnancy hormones are a little crazy this week and that's made it a little harder to cope.

Thank you all so much.
