My heart is breaking for my child.

Very sad. The only very small compensation might be that she might have prevented this happening to someone else and she should feel very proud that she sort the truth.

I haven`t anything to say that hasn`t already been said, KateK, but I really do feel for you, your daughter and your granddaughter.

No words Katek [hugs]

Katek

Katek Hugs are really important so keep doing it and don't stop talking about your SIL to your DD and DGD because sometimes it is so much more painful when no one talks about him any more.
I hope you will all take all offers of available support.

It must be terribly distressing to know that a death might have been avoided but for sub-standard care. But I think it is probably even worse to have lingering doubts that are never pursued.

Of course, nothing can compensate for the loss of a beloved husband and father but she is a young woman with a child and no partner with whom to share emotional, practical and financial challenges. I hope that pursuing this through the legal system will ensure that at least any financial difficulties can be alleviated.

I hope she can get some emotional support during this difficult time and that this terrible loss will one day become more bearable. Good luck and best wishes to you all.

Peerhaps they can help:

watching your own child suffer is so very painful. I wish you strength over the next few weeks as you support her and her family.

How sad and hard for you all. But perhaps it is good that the grieving process is finally brought up to the surface- and she will be then better able to somehow move on. I would not hesitate to ask GP for help from grieving counsellors for DD but also for the children. I remember seeing the amazing job they do to help out, on Children in need- there is probably someone near you.

katek Wishing you, your dd and dgd all the very best now, and in the months to come.

Katek so sorry to hear this. what an ordeal for you all.

katek ?

Katek how dreadfully sad for all,of you. This time of year is emotionally charged and to be finding out her fears were well found is heart breaking. I feel for you, you must want to make it all ok. Sending love x

What a sad situation for your family. I do hope you get a quick and honest result from the investigation but there are certainly more tough times ahead for your poor daughter. Every good wish. ?

oh katek how dreadful

KateK How extra upsetting to know it might have been avoidable.

Thank you all x

Katek how very sad. for you and your daughter. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Katek No words.

It maybe knowing the answer will eventually help your daughter although it can take a while and Christmas, children's performances, school nativities are such a tug to the heart.
In my early 40's I had surgery, it was thought surgical stockings were not needed. The blood clot to my lung was only picked up a couple of days later, I had no symptoms, luckily it was found during an investigative scan. I had to be told about it as I needed warfarin for a number of months afterwards but it was without much acknowledgement of responsibility from the hospital. I took it no further but I'm so very sorry your son in law passed away.

Such a very sad story katek I feel for you all.
You can't hug her better but I'm sure it will help just knowing your there for you both.

So sad, such a painful time for you all...

We think we can protect them all their lives, after all that is what parents do and the first time we can't, it is like a knife through the heart.

How heartbreaking for you all Katek, keep hugging her and your dgd, and help her not to become bitter. Hopefully, love will find her again.

katek,
