THREAD FOR WISHING PEACE TO STEVE AND STRENGTH TO JO AND THE CHILDREN

[NotABanana]

Thinking of you. (Not sure if ayone has started one)

sending you strength and love.

Dear OJ, I just want to add my support.

You're really being tested by these people and your strength just shines through. They are clearly damaged individuals and sadly are losing out on so much. You have managed to create some wonderful family moments full of love and closeness even during these hard days of Steve's illness. They will just have bitterness and regret.

Focus on your loved ones right now and let the professionals deal with the pains in law. xxxx

I really hope no one takes this the wrong way but I am wondering if we should leave off the MIL comments. It is horrible enough to live with the knowledge and I know each time I read a comment it rubs in how bad she is. I know no one means any harm and I will butt out if out of line.

dear oj

someone should kindly remind the mil and brother that Steve CHOSE you and did not choose them!

Hoping all is calm x

I agree. It is just awful reading post after post about how awful she is. It is like a kick in the teeth. I shall shut up now. x

I think there are so many mil comments because everybody wants to respond to the whole of the situation and show Jo how much we care about the whole of her predicament iyswim. Saying what we think about her mil certainly isn't constructive but it is a vent of sorts in this highly charged situation. That said, ladies - the woman is losing her child. She isn't everything or even half what she should be - but maybe NotABanana is right and we should lay off?

adding my thoughts xx

I agree with NorthernLurker.

On a previous thread about this I did say that I would add Mil to my prayers, for I really beleive that she needs God's Grace so much.

Nab, I think you are right, this isn't a thread to vent our spleen - even tho there is an awful lot to be vented.

My thoughts are still with you and your lovely family xxxxx

Steve's strength is truly amazing, concentrate on yourself and your children now OJ, they must need you more than ever now and you them I am sure. Sod the MIL. I hope you keep up your strength over the next few hours/day/months and years.

Peace and love to both of you and your children xx

I kind of dread asking this, but is there any news? im sure someone will let us know when they know anything but you cant help wondering.

Sorry if this post not helpful, just wish i could do more

xx

I aggree with you NAB and NL, time enough for that later.
Just wanting to add more support for however long it takes now and hoping the end is as peaceful as it can be.

Love and strength to you, OJ. Go gently, Steve.

DH and Me are still thinking of you, Steve and your kids, your situation has touched the hearts of so many people. The love and strength you and Steve have is inspirational. And like so many people on the forum, I wish there was something I could do to help you both.
