Rethink Priorities
This woman is old and frail, she has a terminally - or, at least, significantly - ill son and you want her to care about oleanders?
Think about it. Your husband is dying. You are worried about:
(1) him
(2) paying for his medical care
(3) attending to your own health issues
(4) what you will do without him
(5) eating
(6) sleeping
(7) getting clean and dressed (maybe)
(8) paying bills
(9) communicating with your friends and family
(10) a whole slew of other things that have absolutely nothing to do with the petty sensibilities and bickering of your neighborhood.
They don't give a damn about those oleanders. Support and respect them by recognizing what *is* important to them and their lives and seeing how you can support that. And stop worrying about trivial appearance-based b.s. like oleanders and outdoor furniture.
