    Yes I know. When he rang yesterday to tell us Annie had died I was all for going down then but my OH - his brother- is more reticent. They are best friends as well as brothers but my OH - well :mad: :(. To be fair I suppose he has to think about his job etc etc - but my opinion is stuff 'em - you TELL them I am taking hols/unpaid leave - but what can I do ? :(

    It's emotional touchy-feely stuff. He's probably reticent because of that.

    Bookie staggers in totally exhausted and drained and flops into the corner.

    Ellidee - maybe you should just go to your BIL? If I say I'm ok I'm usually not so .....
    Long wait for the funeral.

    Yes - think you're right Zed. When his brother rang to tell us yesterday the tears were streaming down my OH face as he was talking to him.

    Ellidee,

    If you want to visit him - just go (when you can) and tell him you wanted to be with him. Avoids him needing to say anything.

    Er - ahem - don't think it would be a good idea to be in the house just me and him. My OH doesn't know but he has made - er 'overtures' to me in the past :o. He has previous for this - before I met my OH his bro pinched a steady girlfriend off him . :mad:

    EDIT to say - not that I would be interested but not sure I want to be in an awkward situation.
