What age is family member?  The answers would vary.  But, for sure it is the family's demonstration of love to care for those who are weakened.  My father is very ill and the family has a schedule so that all participate in care and he does not need to die in a nursing home - but at home with people around who love him.\n\nI hope your loved one is well soon.

Not me. My family is enough to take care of.

That's the best idea, keep them at home.  We did as long as we could.\nHowever, its more difficult that you think. Most people in this culture work outside the home. In other cultures they do not. We have a lot here because we work all the time.  You can not care for an elderly person if you are not there. If you try to do it in shifts-then no one gets any sleep. \nSome Nursing homes are the pits-I agree. But some are great. You must prepare for the time when you have to deal with this. It is gut-wrenching. But 'good' nursing home is better than keep ing sick old people at home. Try it for a couple of years and it will wreck your life.

Oh yeah. A family is one of the things you have that others unfortunately don't, so cherish it. You never know, you might need them someday.

I don't know first hand but I am sure the family will put a lot of blame on themselves, and asking alot of questions like Why and how could I let this happen. Pressure and stress would be overwhelming and a feel of selflessness and even maybe the family seperations due to the stress, and due to the blame of oneself and others.

Trust in the Lord and give everything over to Him.\nHe will take care of you and your family. Tell Him what is bothering you and believe me, He will guide you.

I have first hand experience in dealing with cancer.  What would be very helpful?  Offer to clean the house, offer to make dinner.  Help the wife so she can focus on her husband.  Also, visit him.  For my mom, I put together a "hospital kit".  I included a washcloth, bar of soap, shampoo, magazines, new pjs' etc... whatever they like.   And once grand-dad is able to, bring your daughter often so he can see her.  That will really cheer him up!

Does Dad help?  Maybe he could keep an eye on the kids one day (night) a week to give you some alone time.  Or your mother or mother-in-law?\n\nIt is of great value to your family to take care of you too.

Contact Focus on the Family, or some other Org like that. There are charities out there that benefit those in financial need who has a sick spouse/child/etc.\n\nMy best wishes to you.

Well with you being sick you’re self and having children in the house it is not safe for you to be there. You need to call someone to have her removed from your home. Anyone I know it is bad to say but if she is hitting your children get her for assault and have her arrested. Your children’s safety is the most important right now. As a mother you must protect your children at all cost.\nOnce she is arrested or taken in she will be evaluated and placed in the appropriate place. \n\nI know it does not have to make you feel guilty for feeling this way but you nor your children deserve this. Where is your husband in all of this it is his grandmother? If this continues there could be terrible results. With having a sick baby at home I am sure there is crying she may freak out and hurt your baby. You can love her and watch over her when she is living somewhere else. Tell her she has no choice she must find different living arrangements.

Depending on your state regulations it may be that she is eligible for Home Health care.  If it is getting too tough for you to try and do it all, maybe they could at least help.  I believe they will offer at least four hours a day, maybe more.  I lost both my parents at a young age but I remember how tough it was to take care of my mom because she was sick for two years before she passed.  Its easy to say you should take care of her yourself, but until a person has to actually deal with the issue its hard to understand how draining it can be, both physically and emotionally.  Good luck.

Lord god, please, if it possible spare this family of this suffering and give this ill man the strength and wisdom to overcome this ailment and see to it that he has the passion to want to survive this. SHould this not be your will, please let him not suffer and let his family adjust and be ok without him.

The best thing you can do is stay with her through out her life as long as she lives.. She needs to be comforted.. Spend as much time with her as you can in a way that she can forget that she is ill and is going to die
