Breakdown?

Less than one minute read time.

My sister has advanced stage pancreatic cancer, and her wish is to be at home and to be cared for by her 24 year old daughter.  My brother and his partner feel they could provide better care if she lived with them.  This may be the case, but it's not my sister's wish.  They are just not listening and keep being rude to my niece and making her feel bad if she leaves her mother alone for an hour or two.  I think they are having some sort of breakdown, but we cant get through to them.

    Hi Chas,

    If that is your sisters wishes then your brother and his partner should have the respect for her wishes. Its not what they think is the right thing for your sister she has already expressed what her wishes are. Look after yourself and your niece and of course your sister.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hello, sorry to learn about your sister.  Her wishes must be respected.  We all react differently to tragic events and your brother probably wants to take charge so he feels he's doing something positive. Maybe the best thing you could do though is to be a great aunty to your niece right now and support her in any way you can.  You ALL need eachother.  Have the palliative care nurses been round to see your sister?  They can be really helpful and supportive to ALL of you.  I wish your sister peace and love to you all.  Ann x
