Oh my freaking Gosh...did we have the same mother in law? I believe that mine committed suicide by not eating and taking her meds because she couldn't get her way. We were taking our son to Disney for his 5th birthday. If she had known she would have waited to die a few more days so we would have to cancel the trip ....Her poor husband died the next day out of grief for her. We had a double funeral and she would have hated that too because she would have wanted her own. I could write a bucketful of stories here but I've resisted out of respect for my husband.
