My grandfather is 94, has many problems due to age, of course. He's nausea all the time and is not eating. There is slim to nothing of a chance that he will get better and he will live longer. My grandmother has been saying for months that she keeps hoping that he'll get better when it's been obvious to me and my family that he isn't going to imporove. My grandmother seem to be in denia, if you ask me. They've been married for 63 years and she doesn't know what to do without him. She feels she has nothing to live for (she hasn't talked about suicide) without her husband, not even for me, her closest relative and she doesn't want to do anything, including be involved with something with other senior citizens. She won't face the fact that he isn't going to live long which is making her worst, I think. She isn't willing to do anything out of the house, away from my grandfather, afraid he'll fall or something. There's not much to do. What can I do about my grandmother?
