My father in law was given his second opinion to confirm that he has ALS two weeks ago. He is being the strong one in the family and I am sure is keeping his true feelings bottled up inside.
Right now we are most worried about my mother in law. She hasnt been eating or sleeping for some time now since hearing the news or possibility back in May. She is having a really hard time with this and she seems to be falling deeper into a hole. My father in law had said "I am the one that is suppose to be sick" It is frustrating to the fact we want them to live each day to the fullest while he is still able to but I feel that my mother in law's health is going down hill faster at this point in time.
We know we need to get her support but how do you do that? She is very bull headed about this situation. We know they both need help but how does a child tell his parent, and make them listen?
Any help at this time would be appreciated.
