TM, so sorry to hear about your MILs diagnosis. Be sad, it is OK. Consider what you would like to do that is special to create a loving memory for you, husband and difficult child.
I am so so sorry. I know you will be taking good care of your mother in law and your family in the days and weeks ahead. Please make sure to take good care of yourself too. {{{{hugs}}}
Thank you everyone. I continue to feel down, but I really needed a day to just absorb the grief. My poor father in law has been in shock and has finally begun to accept that mother in law is terminal. I'm especially thankful that my church deacon went up to visit last night and helped mother in law find some peace. That has everyone feeling a little better.
