You, my dear, are awesome.

I really can’t imagine what you are going through but I’d like to think I’d keep the booking if I were in your shoes. Hopefully there are many opportunity for you to be together between now and Easter as well.

Keep the booking.

I think definitely keep the booking and makeover it's written somehwere that you absolutely expect every si glen person who has booked to be there, come what may.

I agree with going ahead. Also could say you really want everyone there come what may, but don’t make it seem a hard obligation. Everyone reacts differently to a death and there may be someone who just can’t face it just that day/week, but feel worse whatever they do. Attend and feel horrendous or go against the wishes of a close relative that has died.

Well, tbh, there is no real guarantee that any of the others will make it to Easter either so you you may as well keep it.

Either you will be here and can enjoy it or you won't.

Sorry you've had to receive this news Flowers must be hard but I like the way you are dealing with it.

You remind me of my SIL who passed away 2 years ago.
We had a lovely big whole family, final holiday together.
Keep the booking but tell DS2 he can organise the booze.
Tell GC you will try your best.

GC want you to come back as a ghost? I’d start making plans now to rig that lodge! Grin

No doctor in the world can tell you exactly how much time you have. Don’t check yourself out of life ahead of time because of what the doctor said. We were told my dad only had a few weeks, and he lived 6 months - there are no guarantees.

Babbabump · 09/01/2020 06:58

Your family are very lucky to have you! You sound amazing - I'm agreeing with a PP and I'd love to be like you when I grow up too!

GiveHerHellFromUs · 09/01/2020 07:12

OP you have such a fantastic attitude. You're awesome.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

How old are the GC?
If you're not able to make it to the lodge (and they would find it comforting rather than spooky Grin) agree with DS2 to move things around in the night and write messages on a whiteboard from you. It will help to keep your spirit (sorry!) and sense of fun alive x
