Mrs Kelly, 50, was diagnosed with melanoma three years ago and is now bedridden with just weeks to live.

Last week, her family revealed Mrs Kelly wanted to die in her own Department of Housing home.

But making that wish come true is impossible so far because she is not well enough to sign Department of Housing paperwork to ask for necessary building modifications to make the small Wagga house suitable.

(Mrs Kelly is the authorised signatory on the tenancy agreement, her eldest son Steven said.)

Giving Mrs Kelly's husband Michael power of attorney so he can request the modifications or ask for a larger house has also been ruled out, again because Mrs Kelly is not well enough to give that authorisation.

"It all revolves around Mum being able to sign the paperwork, which she can't," Steven Kelly said.

Mr Kelly said a Department of Housing manager spoke with him last week and admitted he had never come across the same situation before.

Mr Kelly said no solutions had been found.

"There has been no change," he said.

"She just wants to go home."

Mrs Kelly is being cared for in her sister-in-law's home.

Michael Kelly sleeps on the floor beside his wife's bed.

Steven Kelly said his mother was being well cared for, but her dying wish of spending her last days in her own home is as far away as ever.

As Mrs Kelly's family grapples with the crisis, they can only hope their terrible experience leads to lessons being learnt that prevents other families going through the same trauma.

"It's not nice, I don't want any other families to go through it, that is the big picture," Mr Kelly said.

Although not being able to fulfil Mrs Kelly's wish so far, her family is grateful for offers made to help in other ways.

The Daily Advertiser has passed on details of people prepared to help with additional palliative care to the service being received so far, which the family has described as "God's gift" to them.
