Sorry to hear that pp, belated condolences to you and your family.  We know we won't have our parents for ever, that's why it is so important to enjoy them and do everything we can for them whilst they are here.

Thank you all for your thoughts, today was her birthday, so another difficult day, especially as my dad spent 6 hrs sitting on a bench in the cemetery, near where her ashes are,  so she wouldn't be alone on her birthday, just heart breaking.

So sad and heartbreaking.. We are also worried about my fil as my dh just lost his mum at the young age of 65.. So must be very difficult for him and he is alone in their big house by himself with everything to remind him of her as all the kids live min 3 hoyrs away and we cant teavel with dh back....But we call him regularly and for the moment he is handling it ok but is finding it very hard which is normal... Think all you can do is be there ...

Frozzie, yes just let him know you are there. Memories will always be there, and it is early days yet, so things will get easier for all of those suffering the recent loss of a loved one, or helping  loved ones cope with a terminal illness or end of life situation. My love to you all. Monica

PP belated sympathy on the loss of your Mum. I lost Mum in 2004 right before Christmas. Your Christmas time does change. My sympathy to all the Dads and in laws too, it must be so very hard to deal with. I don't think Mum ever got used to life without Dad, they almost made it to 50 years of marriage. Make the best of every day with them. :-* :-* :-*

PP belated sympathies. Losing a loved one is a such a sad time.

My dad has been told that he only has 3 to 6 months to live. I am going to make the most of that time with him.

DG this news is so sad.  Make the very most of your time with your precious Dad but please take extra extra care of yourself, too - sleep and rest (hard I know) and the most nourishing food you can handle.  With you all the way . . . .

DG I know this is a very sad time for you but please, please take advantage of it. My Dad died very suddenly and I didn't have time to tell him how very much I loved him.  :'(
My dearest wishes to you, your family and your beloved Dad.
