Hi
I need some advice - My Mum has Dementia and in a EMI home for 2 years, she is at the stage she sort of reconises us but not sure who we are.
This week my Dad (aged 79) has been diagonosed with advanced lung and stomach cancer (as well as a heart attack!) Not sure how long he has been months at the most.
What do I tell my mum? Is there any point as she wont take it in? Does she come to the funeral? I just don't know what to do!!
On a different note - the house will be left to my Mum but my brother lives at home so will the social services be able to place a charge on the house or will we be forced to sell? It worries my Dad lots, he wants to know that my brother will not be made homeless as he mental health issue's (OCD) and on sickness benefit
I wuld be interested in anyone's thoughts
