I'm sorry for your loss. Recovery wisdom says we cannot save others from themselves. I know from personal experience that mixed feelings are part of "the package" of what you're dealing with right now. It's very okay! Nothing we say or do can make others change their will or take care of themselves. We are powerless over them. I'm glad your spouse can help you set financial limits at this time.
