sister is approaching end stage with a gioblastoma

My sister is approaching the end, 10 months after being diagnosed with a gioblastoma multi form.

Shes rapidly declined over the last month, although still mobile, and holds a conversation. However, she is now so angry, argumentative, and unhappy. She is at home, with her husband, and the rest of us are visiting her regularly.

None of us can say or do anything to make her feel better now. She doesnt sleep well at all at night, with sleeping tablets, and often sleeps for periods during the day.

Is there anything that can help with her anger and unhappiness? Drs thought she should go into a hospice 2 weeks ago, family agreed, she refused, and I agreed with her.

Ive suffered from bad depression in the past, and I know how she is feeling.

Is this something that cannot be helped?

Thanks

 

 

 

 

  • Am so sorry for the position you are in. Don't know if you will find it helpful but the book With the end in mind by Katherine Mannix has real insight into helping family members who are angry or in denial. I have found it really helpful for preparing to lose my mum. Xxx
