My mother has recently moved to a care home after a suicide attempt and subsequent month long stay in hospital. Her reason for wanting to die is that my sister has been bullying her about money. She left a note to tvat same effect. I have no idea if this is true in reality but i believe it is my mother’s reality. I think part of it is that my sister has been trying to put LPA in place for some tome which my mother has been angrily resisting. She is absolutely clear she does not want it. Sister has now had the lawyer out to the care home where my mum is kettled 🙄 and i have been sent a letter by the certificate provider as a person to inform.
Do i tell the certificate provider about the suicide attempt? And the reason for it? There is a social worker involved.
How do i check with my Mother that she’s OK about the LPA? I know that if I explain it she will not want it. She simply isn’t comfortable with the scope of the authority conferred.
why did my sister do this now. My mother is under a huge amount of stress.
What is the most important thing here? Can not having an LPA be in someone’s best interests? What do i do to protect my mum?
