She's Killin Me Here ... Could Use Some Tips on Living With the Elderly

My grandmother started acting out in strange ways shortly after my grandfather passed away. She has since been diagnosed with dementia and is living in a long term care facility. We often wondered if my grandfather saw the telltale signs before he got sick and would cover them up trying to protect her. But.... As Robert said, grief causes people to act out in ways that we never would have imagined, and this could be the case with your mother in law. I would definately start by making an appointment with her doctor and telling him all the things that have happened to bring you to this point. I wish you all the best, and will pray for a good outcome.
