Hello,
My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma cancer in January. It is spreading aggressively and she has now been given months to live. She has been in hospital for the last 5 days relying on oxygen and pain medication. Next week we will discuss with the palliative care team next relocating her to hospice.
My youngest brother who is 24 was living with her in her council property. He is vulnerable and has suffered with mental health episodes in the past. He has not been sectioned but he was in a mental institution some years back when he had an episode. I believe he may suffer from Schizophrenia but he hasn't been officially diagnosed.
I live in Dubai but I a back temporarily to be here to support my mum in her last days. In the long-term he cannot live with family, and I'm really worried that my mum passing will be a major trigger for my him. I'm also worried about whether he will be rehoused in a suitable safe place.
Please can you offer any advice on:
1) how we approach supporting his mentation health at this time?
2) how we approach conversations with the council regarding his rehousing
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Marisa
