She sees a medical doctor. She has COPD. Supposed to be on oxygen 24 hours a day. Refuses to use it. Has an emergency inhaler, but that is all. Never uses it. No other medical issues. I have taken care of her 24 hours a day for 8 years. I’m tired. And 63. Thank you.

Ask for a hospice evaluation. It sounds as though she is done with medical interventions; that is exactly the point at which you want to get Hospice on board.

I did that as well as palliative care. They didn’t think they could help at this time. Thank you.

I’m so sorry that you are struggling with this. Please tell her doctor about her condition. Contact a social worker if you feel the need.

It sounds like she has given up and maybe in her condition there isn’t any hope. A doctor needs to do an assessment to know what comes next, hospice or a facility.

Of course you are exhausted. I can empathize.
