I want to thank everyone who posted a response here. Many of you recognize the terrible difficulty of this situation and your empathic responses have given me much to think about (and something to read—Being Mortal—Just ordered it on Kindle). I can surely see in the different kinds of responses all the facets the dilemma. Others have offered practical advice -- most of which I've thought of but some new things (I never heard of. POLST, for example). As for Bronish, please recognize that this is a country with people of many faiths or no faith at all, and to use this forum to proselytize Christianity, unsolicited, is disrespectful to those differences. Save it for your church. Okay. That said, to update those who have taken the time to help me -- between me, my husband and the Dr., we compromised on a solution that included stopping the anti-psychotics (they were having no effect) and instead of trying a different one, focus for now on changes in his anti-depressants. It's not the route I would choose for myself, but it's the solution he'll accept right now-- not totally, but without outright refusal. I've also decided to bring in a new social worker into the mix, who will come by and assess his living situation first-hand. All these "solutions" just serve to remind me how elusive "solutions" are.
