Charly was my beloved brother in law. He knew of Caroline's illness and would understand my predicament, as indeed most of you with the exception of, on the other hand, I will leave this for another time.

Caroline had been in comma for 3 days, my beloved daughter in law has now passed away, 4 days after my brother in law. She was a mere 41 years old !!!

My worst fears have been realized, I will stand by my son, 20 years they had been together ...

When a person passes away doesn't care for funerals and other nonsense.Those are for the ones left behind.
Forget all about it dear Milti it's the moments you shared with him that matter. But even if your beliefs are different than mine, then consider you 've been present at his funeral by passing your emotions to tens of people in here. I can feel your pain both for Charly and Caroline.
Courage.

Oh dear, Milty, I am so sorry to hear of this horrible trauma in your life yet again and the sad passing of someone so young. My sincerest condolences to your son for his loss. You did the right thing. To be there for your young daughter-in-law and now your grieving son. Your friend, Charly, is long gone, and will understand the living took priority. And now, you have many events in which to honour and remember both their memories.

N.B. Will the ISIS-loving trolls with evil intents kindly desist from provoking this sad life situation!

Garavnoss - I am particularly ashamed of your stance as you otherwise show a modicum of intelligence!

You're a very nasty individual which I am grateful to have discovered a long time ago.

You should be very ashamed of yourself for all the stupid antics and games you have played as well as all the vitriolic personal jabs. One can only imagine what kind of a sad case you are in real life. I actually feel very sorry for you.

Secondly, there are no right or wrong answers in things like this. I for one, consider loyalty to a very select group of life-long friends as something very important, on par if you like to family. Probably a foreign concept to someone like you, but sometimes your life experiences do in fact shape you especially with individuals you have experienced the same challenges and fears with because you get to know a lot about people in such situations, a lot more than just going to the pub with a few friends or whatever it is you do.

You insinuate this is wrong. What the fuck do you know? And on top, you make accusations that we don't have friends and even stoop so low to insult our intelligence.

Well, I am sorry but it is YOU that appears to be unintelligent and very low.

And I maintain my criticism towards you that you're a very calculating and cold individual. So I am not surprised that you would so flippantly reject this concept of loyalty which does not only apply to family, or the living. I don't blame you for your outlook either because that is the way you were bought up.

If Garavnoss, really believes in the values that he claims to believe in (rather than use this to take a personal jab at Milti), then I commend him wholeheartedly and take my hat off to him with respect. These are values which are rare, most commonly held by individuals which had these values smashed into them. I am not surprised you do not possess such values to be honest.

There is nothing more sacred than sticking with your mates, through thick and thin, in life and death. It would have been easy to arrange a flight to Cyprus to attend the funeral and return quickly, within 24 hours even and Milti's Son wouldn't have even noticed. Not being critical at Milti either, as people can only do what they are comfortable with. But I would have done everything in my power to go and return without affecting my Son.

Have a nice Sunday.

I would normally react in my usual fashion, however this thread is dedicated to my late brother in law and as of yesterday to my 41 year old daughter in law who succumbed to her illness and passed away.

Caroline was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour, Oligodendroglyoma, a very slow growing tumour , in the year of 2000, two years before my late wife was diagnosed.

She underwent two brain surgeries to remove the tumour but part of the tumour was not accessible , any attempt at removing the lot would have left Caroline blind and unable to speak. The surgeons decided that no such attempt was viable and there followed years of chemotherapy, radiotherapy . Caroline was able to return to work, she worked with me and my son, and lived a near normal life until about 18 or so months ago when the tumour became more aggressive.

My son would often take her to her mums house in Cornwall, the only child, and would bring her back a week or so later.

About 6 weeks ago, although Caroline unable to take more than a few steps at a time she asked my son to again take her to visit mum
in Cornwall.

Alas her condition worsened, no longer able to feed her self or perform other functions, even swallowing food or water,

The brain controls all our bodily functions, and her brain rendered her unable to speak, communicate, eat, drink or perform other normal functions. We all knew it was a matter of time before the ultimate.

She fell into a semi coma a week or so ago and on Wednesday the 12th, a day after Charly's death a full blown coma, my son and her parents sat by her bedside. My son kept me in daily contact.

Last evening at 7.11 pm the dreaded call from a distressed son came. I was dozing on the sofa and it took 3 calls to wake me up.

May I request that the two plonkers who post crap desist from doing so, I promise I will come back in my usual style soon and would deal with both idiots good and proper.

One might ask why I still post after these sad events, the answer, I live on my own, it takes my mind of things and in a way Im recording these sad events as they occurred.

Please accept my sincere and deepest condolences.

Sincerely sorry for your loss, Milti.

Words fail me when I see that others have hijacked this thread to have a go at you, ignore them, you are a much better person than they are.

What did she say to deserve this

Who are they?? I can only count one.

While I understand that writing about these tragic personal events in this forum is one way of letting your emotions/thoughts out dear Milti, unfortunately this is a DISCUSSION forum, and by writing about them in here so you run the risk of receiving "inappropriate" responses or responses that are contrary to your beliefs, that may hurt you/confuse you even more.
Imho this is a typical case that should appear in your facebook page, NOT here.

Could those in mourning kindly GET OFF the forum and go about their mourning in a genuine way in case it gets misunderstood as attention seeking recreational grief?
