To cut a long story short..... My father in law has terminal cancer and is now receiving end of life care in their home, mother in law has parkinsons disease and at times has balance problems and memory loss, a few weeks ago they he had a nasty infection and she had a fall and they both ended up in hospital at the same time, while they were in hospital, his sister and daughter moved in to the in laws home to help care for him when he returned home, when the mother in law was due to be discharged, the sister and daughter said mother in law can not return to the house because it upsets father in law to see her like she is, they don't want her visiting him or anything anymore and to just basically dissappear. I understand that they can't look after each other and we are happy to have her with us, but all she wants is to be with him, she has cared for him for the last 11 years at the detriment to her own health, they are now refusing to answer the phone when she rings to see how he is. Its heartbreaking to see. I have tried to speak to social services to arrange a care package so they can spend this precious time together but the sister bet me to it and has told them she is much worse than she actually is and the social services has told me she can not go home, he needs to recover in peace He's not going to recover!! I'm at a loss, I don't know what to say to her, has anybody been in this sort of situation and can offer any advice, I have offered to take leave and go look after them both so they can spend a little time together and have been told "no chance".
