That's really sad, because when (if) he dies, she'll keep forgetting he's dead and have to be told repeatedly.


Agreed. 
hopefully she goes first.

Well, her husband has ruined the concept of hospice care for me, so who knows how long this will last

Oh they're just trolling us. Wasn't she already on something that could be called hospice care? Is anything actually changing?

Normally hospice care means death is fairly imminent but she is likely to be getting the same type of hospice care as her husband so that might not be the case.

Jimmy Carter's family expected him to die "five or so days" after entering hospice.

I kinda assumed she was in hospice care already since Jimmy was. Guess I was wrong.

I don’t know, the fact that the Carter family feels that they have to make this announcement considering Jimmy has been in hospice care for 9 months, makes me think Rosalynn won’t be here much longer. 
 

Also, Rosalynn has dementia, which there’s no type of treatment for. Jimmy doesn’t have dementia (that we know of). Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

If she has entered hospice care of the quality Jimmy is getting she's good for another 5 years

I do wonder what definition of hospice they are using.In Jimmy's case it certainly seems the most basic form of having a DNAR with an instruction not to go to hospital if the cause of admission is reversible (I.e a broken bone).

Seems a massive coincidence that Jimmy has lasted 9 months on hospice alone let alone that his wife has joined him.Makes me highly suspicious this is more of a detailed advanced directive ( no CPR , IV antibiotics , IV fluids , NG feeding  , invasive ventilation  life sustaining oxygen etc).Basically a keep me home and do nothing remotely radical instruction rather than we need to actively or intensely or even actively palliate them now.

seeing "Rosalynn Carter, 1min ago" I thought she was dead as she is hardly ever mentioned here. 

It's veeeery unlikely but not impossible. And if it happens, then It'll be the biggest joke of deathlist ever.

Welp...
