    Can i just say a "BIG THANK YOU" to you all im sat here blubbing now - you are all just so kind and i feel ok blubbing with you, as OH can't see or hear me - i know FIL can be pain but he doesn't deserve this xx

    Bensonsmum,
    I think a few of us on here will have been in the same position, it does all seem so unfair. I sat by my mum's side watching my father die and I really couldn't believe that in this day and age people have to suffer so much. Yes they can try to relieve the physical pain but the emotional pain gets no treatment!!!

    I'm absolutely sure you're doing the right thing being strong for your OH (and your FIL), so please do not feel guilty telling us lot what's happening and how you are all coping( or not coping) and if you can have a few tears away from it all so much the better.

    Thinking of you.

    Very sorry to hear your news. Sometimes just talking about it helps, I'm sure no-one will be really upset to know that they are helping you by listening.

    Talking with 'strangers' is often more therapeutic ... was listening to the radio 4 Samaritan appeal yesterday (Linda Nolan) ... very moving. Thinking of you ... going thru something similiar with a cousin (though not as close)

    Just had a phone call from OH, FIL has been taken back into hospital this morning he went to see the specialist for his appointment and they admitted him immediately. OH really upset as they have given him between 2 - 6 weeks tops!!:(

    Absolutely gutted as even though we knew it was going to be bad didn't expect it to be this bad, OH now running around like a headless chicken as hospital/hospice want his NI number and other docs but can't find them anywhere - have rung up SS and they won't give out the information to us - FIL is delirious and can't remember any of the details bless him. Have been told they will keep him in hospital until he can be stabilised with oxygen etc then will be moving him to a local hospice as soon as a bed is available.

    Writing this i feel pretty detached at the moment and luckily have a list of people i need to contact and things i need to sort out which is keeping me pretty much together. Finding it really hard though when talking to OH as don't want to cry as he needs me to be strong as i can hear the pain in his voice each time i speak to him, and i don't want to add to his worries.

    Apparently FIL was talking about me a lot this morning - don't know if it was all good mind you as i had a go at him for shouting at my DD the other day - but at least i have made an impression on him.

    Asked the Doctor to sign the form for attendance allowance, but she said she can't as he is now admitted to the hospital and will have to wait until he gets transferred to the hospice - but she also said she thinks that by the time it is sorted he won't be around to get any use from it anyway :(:(

    I don't mean to put a downer on any of you and sorry if i have done so, just find it really easy to babble on here and know that im not really (i hope) upsetting any one xx

    Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.
