Good advice, I will take it on board and adapt my behaviour accordingly. Apologies to 3Dogs and any other I may have unwittingly offended/ upset as that was not my intention at all. For example, I would never really have understood what FloFlo just said to me without somebody telling me (there's a fair bit of Savs in there no doubt ).

Anyway, just remembering my convo with my wife last night, she was talking about how her ma was effectively refusing all food, just saying she wasn't hungry. And how small her ma looked etc. Sounded to me as if MIL is weary of life but maybe she'll pick up in the next few days. Hopefully the promise of seeing her grandkids next week will be a (big) pleasant thing to look forward to.

Yep sorry 3Dogs, I have always been a bit rational/ realistic about stuff like death and certainly feel the best thing I can do for my wife now is increasingly help prepare her mentally for the fact that her mother is going to die soon. That's not trivialising it in my mind though I can see it might come across that way, I guess 'coffin dodger' is my own way of coping with an impending death in the family as of course when a parent or MIL dies of old age/ natural causes, it IS close to home and makes you think about your own inevitable death next in line though (hopefully) in another 30 or so years. MIL is 80, I'm 50, so 30 more would be fair enough though I'd hope to look after myself a bit better than she. I have to say that the deaths/ illnesses that distress me personally are the 'unfair' ones ie the ones that hit people young in life. OTOH I find it hard to get worked up about death through old age, particularly when that person has not done much to look after themselves in terms of diet and exercise/ staying active, when that would probably have given them a few more years. In a way (and you'll say I'm twisting this) it's the people who die a bit early because they didn't look after themselves in terms of diet & exercise who are being selfish, because they are robbing the people they leave behind of the pleasure of their company/ love etc.
