Shes 87 and ready to meet the saints, but she doesn't want to wait around, but is finding herself doing just that. No motivation, no energy, She feels jittery inside, and we don't know what to do. She makes plans and then breaks them the next day. What is a care giver to do? Please Help!

The longer a person does nothing outside of their regular routine, the harder it is to do something different. It's like being stuck in a rut that you are afraid to venture out of. If it were my mother, I would insist she take a walk with me around the neighborhood one day. I would force her out of her little world a little everyday and see if that might jump start her wanting to get out once in awhile. (that is if there's not some medical reason for her actions.)
