Hi All,

   I have not spoken to my mother since father day. Evidently, my mom got very sick shortly after that. She has told Papa we are not to visit - she will not talk to us, and we are not allowed to know what's wrong - its personal. All I can get out of my Dad is she refuses to see anyone, talk  to anyone - which includes him part of the time - wants us to remember her as she was, she is also refusing to get medical care.  Does anyone have any idea what can be done to help him? Can I force medical care on her? Should I abide by her wishes? She has always been about pride and appearences. Ideas?
