Her dp's mum is gravely ill and likely to die quite soon.
MI has been such a magnificent friend and support to so many people on the site and via e-mail I hope she will not mind my posting this as I think it might help her to know we are thinking of her, dp and the Inferiorettes.

Oh, thank you very much. It does mean a lot. She has been ill for a while now, and it is that stage which will be familiar to many of you where one has to take every day as it comes; and I'm on my own for long stretches with the girls.

But everyone - work, MN, RL, school gates - is being absolutely lovely. Thank you so much.

I remember when my own grandmother died from a long and drawn-out illness, it was so awful at the end. I was 3 months pregnant with my first and she so desperately wanted to see the baby. Nearly every day we were visiting thinking that it would be her last day, and we were saying our goodbyes to her. I'll never forget it. So I really do wish you strength MI, and a lot of cyber-hugs. Hope it ends soon, iykwim.

MI I am sorry. I do know something of what you are going through, dh's father has cancer and probably less than 6 months to live. Even though he has a fairly distant relationship with him and nothing is imminent, it's still difficult to know how to provide support to him. My best wishes to all in the inferiority complex

Best wishes to you, dp and the dds my love xxx

So sorry to hear this MI

If you feel the need to get out of the house, take the DDs for a run in the park or whatever and fancy some company, you know where I am.

Sorry to hear this, MI. If there's anything I can do, let me know. Dh is on leave for the half term next week, so there are two of us who could help/play host to the Inferiorettes if needed. Every sympathy to dp.
