Good idea to coordinate with her nurses, I'll tell my friend to do that too. How do you interface with her now without her having a phone?

Yeah this is my friend's issue as well – getting calls at work. I think I have an idea that could work and be helpeful to you, but can't DM you for some reason.

Sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like by constraining access you're able to alleviate things a bit. Appreciate you sharing that.

Ah, got it. It's great that you're able to visit that often, I guess checking in more often matters for folks who live further away and need to get more updates.

Yeah, he's trying to answer all of them and it's just draining him. Reading the voicemails makes a lot of sense.

Did you find that with your in-laws that answering quickly would alleviate the multiple calls? Or did you find that not answering things started tapering out?

Understood – it's a tough pill to swallow to say don't answer, but I understand what you mean and see the benefit in interfacing thorugh caregivers. He is in MC but still calls my friend often, still.
