Waiting for the call :(

[Twix42]

My sister in law has terminal breast cancer, its end stage, she's palliative in a hospice and she's 40 with young kids.
It's awful. I'm waiting for the call to say she's gone. It's torture.

I don't know why I'm posting really.

I don't know how we will cope with this, without her.

I'm so sorry to hear this. It's heartbreaking. Her poor children.

So sorry to hear this. Its an such awful situation.
Sending a virtual hug

Sending a hug. The end-of-life care my close relative received in a similar setting was uplifting and life-affirming, and I hope that the same is true for your dsister-in-law.

This is so sad. I'm so sorry

So sorry to hear this :-( horrible cruel disease that takes people too soon and her poor children. My heart goes out to your family x

Twix 💐 I'm so sorry to read this and sorry your daily is so ill.

Sorry, autocorrect in my post. I meant dsil not daily. Apologies

It is an awful place to be, there is nothing that can make it any easier. Sending you love and strength and I hope her passing is peaceful

So sorry this is happening. All you can do is try to make the days she has left special and to be there for her children once she passes.

@Twix42 Such a horrible situation to be in. As someone who's mum died when they were 5 (and my brother 9) I hope I can reassure you a little that her children will survive and they absolutely can still thrive. Life will change forever, it won't be easy, but family love goes a long way in these situations 💝

Its all so cruel. I saw her for the last time last week, and saying goodbye it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. She's the sister I never had, the best auntie to my kids. Such a funny girl, I have known her for 23 years. I can't believe this is happening. 😭

Heart breaking @Twix42 I'll never understand why good people die before there time. X

My worst nightmare. I'm so sorry. I lost my mum when I was 6, she was 25. I can't imagine how my family felt at the time

💐

I'm so sorry op. It's torture.

My family member died last week, I've spent the last 3 months waking up to check my phone 3 times a night.

It's the worst feeling. I sympathise so much.

I'm so so sorry OP how heartbreaking for you, her children and the rest of her family! I fucking hate cancer.

Oh I’m so sorry. It’s a tragedy isn’t it. Do you feel you have absolutely seen her for the last time?

I remember saying goodbye to my big sister in the hospice six years ago, it's sheer torture. Feel for you

I'm so sorry

Nothing to add except to send you love and hugs, OP

Yes I know I won't see her again. She is unresponsive now. We don't live close by 😢, Dh is there supporting his parents, and I am about 200 miles away with our kids.
I want her to go so she is free of the pain and suffering 😭. But I will miss her SO VERY MUCH 💔

It's so horribly young. I'm so sorry.

@Twix42 sending love and hugs, you have my every sympathy, we have just gone through the same thing with a very close family member ,it’s heartbreaking. Still can’t believe it and funerals are taking forever to happen just now too.

So young. So sorry.

May I suggest something, feel free to ignore it.

Recently when my family member died we had their thumb print taken in clay. We're now having some nice simple coin necklaces made with their thumb print on them. 4 of us will have a piece of jewellery with a piece of them, to remember them.
