What is the approach to telling sis that she will have a stroke if she doesn't stop stressing over mom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RU B -ing literal?: I assume you don't really mean that you're worried about your sister having a stroke over stress? I suspect you're concerned for your sister's preoccupation with your mother's illness - no doubt a stress for all involved. A 3rd party may be helpful: clergy, family friend, social worker, nurse or doctor. Setting limits and boundaries can help. Bring in other family members for a conference too.
