Need ideas

Do you wonderful ladies have any ideas how I could make my MIL's life easier at this time? My FIL had a power of attorney and his will written up today. The POA is being over-nighted to us and should be here tomorrow. Andrew couldn't think of anything in particular that I could do.

Re: Need ideas

  • I don't know if if would be overstepping boundaries or anything, but maybe see if there is anything that needs to be done around the house.  Bills that need to be taken care of, certain things that need to be done so the house can still run.

    I actually asked Andrew this today, and he said that someone was taking care of it. I have also told Andrew since his mom's basement was flooded we could pay for it to be professionally cleaned so it was a burden off her shoulders.

  • Honestly, when my dad died. We had a million people asking to help. And all I wanted was someone to just BE there. Not say anything, do anything. But just be there with me. Instead of running around trying to help me out with everything that needed to be taken care of.

    My go to thing now with things like these are buying a edible arrangements, and just sit with the family. And be present.

    My overly happy baby girl!

  • The only thing that comes to my mind is food. Maybe preparing some meals in advance? Reheatable stuff.

    To go along with the food, make sure she eats.  I'm sure she doesn't have an appetite at all so you'll have to be creative about it.  Take her out or bring healthy snacky stuff to her.

  • Thanks everyone. We have spaghetti sauce and meatballs in her freezer for when she's ready to eat them. Tania you are right, she's not eating much right now.
