Just had bad news

So sorry to hear this. Please try and get as much support as possible for all of you. You will be a wonderful support but you need to look after yourself too. I hope the news improves and your DIL has longer than you fear, treatment gets better all the time don’t lose hope, try to make lovely memories and if your grandchildren ask please answer their questions as much as they can understand , you just need to say Mummy is not well at the moment perhaps . Sending you love

Craftycat, that’s so sad. Please keep strong if you can ???

That is a burden of grief, Craftycat. I wish you strength.

I am so sorry

Craftycat I am so sorry such devastating news.

I wish you strength to help and support your lovely family.

craftycat ... how very devastating for you and your family.
The cruelest of blows

If you want, please keep posting.
it's the least we can do on GN, be here to listen.

Your in my thoughts and prayers

Such a difficult time for your family and a difficult prognosis to deal with. Sometimes it does help to get it all down. One day at a time. Keep positive, as much as you can.

Craftycat I'm so very sorry to hear your dreadfully sad news.

Sometimes the world is hard to understand - an old family friend in her late nineties has felt for a decade that she's lived too long.

So so sorry craftycat. Thinking about you, and your lovely family

So sorry Craftycat.Sending our love,thoughts and prayers.x

This is just such terrible news for you and your family. I can understand you are heartbroken for your son. All you can do is be there to offer support and help when you can. Encourage your dil to make lots of wonderful memories with her young family. Try to keep hope that medical advances are happening all of the time, so do not give up hope. I hope they happen in time for your dil.

So sorry to hear about your dear DIL and being three years in remission from cancer, I have a small insight into what you are all going through. My heart goes out to you and your family. Just keep being there and loving them all, that’s all you can do. They are making great strides in the field of cancer treatment and so many more people are living with cancer nowadays. So pleased you are near and can offer practical support as well as love. X

So very sorry to hear your news xx

So sorry for the news.
My son and his (now ex-)wife both had excellent support and counselling from Macmillan nurses when she had cancer which returned. I'm sure they could offer support to you and the grandchildren as well xx

I am so so sorry xx

What awful news. Your world must feel shattered. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Very sorry Craftycat xxx

What a terrible shock for you all, it’s heartbreaking news. It’s so hard, I send my love and positive thoughts.

Nothing to add to all the above posts, craftycat but sending you love and support.

Use gn to off load if it helps.

That is just awful Craftycat. Feel free to vent your feelings on here. The poor family but please be careful because the children will soon pick up vibes that something is wrong and maybe mummy is not very well. {flowers}

I'm so sorry Craftycat as it's terrible to get news like this. Go on and have a good cry, you may feel a little more able to cope with it afterwards. The doctors have said that it will spread but don't know when - it could be years from now or sooner. All you can do is continue to put one foot in front of the other and be as helpful as you can. There's nothing fair about cancer, is there?

How heartbreaking.

Maybe the hospital has a support group?

Such devastating news Craftycat - I was a child when my own mother died but was surrounded by loving grandparents which I’m sure, on reflection now, helped massively.

I know that you will be a huge comfort to your grandchildren and will do all that you can to get them through it. Don’t forget to look after yourself in all of this x

You are entitled to weep - this is life at its cruellest - I hope that the medical team can offer her ongoing treatment to keep things stable as long as possible.

All I can off are hugs and my kindest thoughts - so very hard for all of you.

I am so deeply sorry, you must be in such emotional pain

I send you hugs and love x
