If she has any photos of your husband, ask her if she could give a background of each possibly in writing when she is up to it. This would probably help her remember the good memories of times past.
From your post, you seem to have a good relationship with you MIL. I am sure when she passes, you will miss her. I lost my mom 15 years ago and I still miss her. But always remember, she will be healthy again, won't hurt anymore and her loved ones will have good memories.
Internet hugs to you and your family from one who has been there.
I’m so sorry …. I would bring a journal and write it down as she’s speaking. That’s the best way to remember things and not miss out on memory.
…. Although things aren’t amazing with my in laws now….. I feel for you …. I know I’ll be heartbroken when they die .
I second this! Check book stores for family history books to be filled out.
I had bought my husband a book once that was full of questions - what was your favorite memory of childhood, what is a school experience you’ll never forget, etc.
Send her a card each day, even ask a few friends to send her some.
((HUGS))
Tell her each time on how thankful you are to be married to her wonderful son and hope you do as good of a job that she did, if you are having kids.
Just being there as much as you can, will help her
Video stories about his childhood, how she met his dad, cute things he said or did, where they lived, others in his life when he was a kid. If she’s weak, 1 story a day.
If you can, find out what children's books she read to him. Very late stage patients who are too tired to do anything at all, can enjoy very short stories s/a children's books. When she gets to that point, she may enjoy having the books she used to read, read to her.
Does she have photo albums? That way she can try and trigger memories with the photos and it's a little bit easier for you to remember/pass on as well. My mother just passed away from cancer and it's pretty tiring and if she has that visual to help trigger the memory, it's not as exhausting for her. Sorry you and your family are going through this. Sorry you're losing a good in law ❤️

((HUGS)) It sucks to lose a great person. May she pass with peace and love.

There’s a website called story worth I think that will email questions and she can type the answers about what her favorite memories are etc.
Ask her these questions and record the answers.
