It sounds like my MIL’s heart is in really bad shape and could possible be inoperable…they are looking at very poor chances all of a sudden.
CH took her mother down to the hospital and I was wondering if Adam should at least get to say hi whatever is going to happen.
I HATED being a child and people not talking about death.
They refused to deal with the kids when my FIL died a couple of years ago….and still won’t even show him the grave. I don’t think that is right or fair.
So once again that family is causing pain and suffering all through their own actions.
So frustrating.
I hate seeing CH and his brother suffering through this stuff.
Neither had dealt with death or illness until their dad and now this.
Sheesh….
This is going to be a long and depressing weekend for them.
I hope she pulls through whatever they decide to do.
She is a tough lady…but who knows…
I think perhaps that many of us live a very cloistered existence these days. Maybe we are doomed to turn into a generation of ostriches.
Best wishes
Sorry to hear about your MIL’s condition. I do find that peoples reluctance to talk about the possible death of those near and dear somewhat silly considering it is eventually going to happen to everyone. But then I was brought up by grandparents and exposed to death quite early in the piece. I feel I have a balanced view on the subject and as a family we are able to discuss death quite readily.
so sorry Crunchy
Sending along my prayers.
When my dad died and I was 10, we kids weren’t allowed to view him or to go to the cemetery for his burial. We did go later that night to view his grave, though. It always stuck in my head that death is not a natural part of living..
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Hopefully something can still be done. I’m sorry though, this stuff is so hard. My dad had major bypass surgery not too long ago and his health is always a little precarious; so I know what it’s like. I agree that you should be honest with your son. Kids are amazingly resilient and I doubt he’d thank you for not being honest.
Praying for your MIL. I saw in your most recent post that she has stablized. I hope that continues!
