MIL is in Middle East. DS - who is 2yrs and 4mths is the apple of her eye. She misses him like crazy.
DH found out last night that she has terminal liver cancer and its spread to her bile ducts. Prognosis is in weeks rather than months.
He is going as soon as he can. He thinks I should stay here with DS as would be far too stressful to have DS there and people would be upset, crying etc and not good for DS.
I will go along with whatever he decides as its his mum and I want the whole process to be done the way he wants it. However, part of me can't help feeling that it would be a huge tonic for her to see DS...I am prepared to go with him if that is the case.
What do you think? Would it be bad for DS to be around people crying? I doubt he would remember it....
