I have a similar situation but with my adult daughter. She puts off care because she wants some control over her very scary health situation. It is very difficult to watch her decline. Her father passed recently and she has often said she is not afraid of death. She lives with me so I see this every day. Praying we have patience and understanding.

I'm so sorry for your loss and the struggle you're having right now with your daughter. Has she had counseling? Grief can make things unbearable if you're already dealing with a lot. I hope you can find a way to communicate with her and show love with safe boundaries. I never thought I'd be at a more peaceful place with my parents..but I learned to let go of a lot, change how I react, look through a different perspective.
It's not easy but it helps me feel a little less overwhelmed.
