Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Your mother in law is already 90. So many researches were conducted and even in the latest on in 2013 concluded that people nearing very old age naturally will have low desire to live. How ever you try to motivate them, they always feels that all these treatment are just of no use. How ever, your duty is to keep her motivated. You are doing perfect. God bless you.

If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
