Birthday ideas for sister in law seriously ill

Very sad and no further advice there’s been some good ideas but I do hope she can enjoy her special day and you too 😥

Blacktabby2 How sad and difficukt for both of you. Perhaps a bunch of her favourite flowers, from your garden or that of a friend.

Very sad news Blacktabby2. As others have already suggested. I would choose a natural room diffuser, possibly rose & geranium. A soft comforting throw in her favourite colours. Does she like to read? Books/audio or a Kindle book of her choice maybe. Although she hasn’t much appetite, she might still enjoy a little of her favourite food - biscuits, chocolates, something indulgent. Would you be able to take her out somewhere special, but obviously where she would feel comfortable. Thinking of you. 💐

Try to stay close to what you'd normally do for her birthday. It's tough being seriously ill - and weird (frightening, even) when people treat you differently or go on about your illness.

It really doesn't matter is she eats little of the dinner/cake/chocolates, she'll appreciate your company and chat about everyday life. Why not watch a good film together?

Could you download Audible and some books for her.

Would she take comfort from a foot orhand massage if you could arrange for a therapist to visit?

When my sister in law had a similar prognosis I bought her a White Company aroma diffuser with a selection of essential oils.

I also bought her really lovely chocolates from Lauden but I have a suspicion she no longer had the appetite for them.

It is a very difficult time for all involved.

I’m so sorry to hear of your sad news.
Do you think she would appreciate a nice soft throw/blanket to act like a cuddle on a cold evening.
