Members Popular Post Gail 8588 Posted September 15, 2021 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 My SIL was tremendously supportive when my husband died. She was very close to her brother, and she clearly wanted to do anything she could to help ease my pain. Last night, her husband died of a heart attack. I drove 4 hours to get to her house, and we have talked until 3:30 in the morning. I am so very sad for her. I am glad I can be here for her, but this really stinks. Her husband was a really great guy. Gail 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators KayC Posted September 15, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 OMG, Gail, I am so sorry! This is the one thing we wish would never happen with those we love. I am sorry for her, sorry for you. I lost my BIL who was more like a brother to me for 50 years, one year ago 9/23, some people we just continue to miss. You are both in my prayers. I'm glad you're able to understand and be there for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members foreverhis Posted September 15, 2021 Members Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Oh Gail, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know you are stronger now than you were the first few years and will be able to help her through these first unbearable days and weeks. ((HUGS)) to both of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
