Bugger me, we're all up to our necks in it. My mother in law has, in the space of weeks gone from "oh there's a few cancer spots that need treated" to full on terminal, thought she was going last night. I have no idea how we're going to explain this to our daughter, she knows about death and such but doesn't really understand. It's been hard enough trying to work out how to explain that she might never get better but this is just another level. As well as supporting my wife I feel like I need to support her sisters partner as we are pretty much going to have to carry both of them and their dad between us.
Kryton - meh sounds about right. I'm on my own right now and a bit lost but as soon as the call came last night and my wife just about buckled that's exactly the state I went into. I just lock down and get on with stuff. Nothing wrong with it. Did exactly the same last year when my mate hung himself and let it out later.
