Sensitive topic.

could you please post anonymous

hi, We have had a rough start to the year. My father in law got dignosed with cancer last year but after treatment was told there was no cancer visible on the scans he had late last year. Last month he had a stroke and they found his cancer had spread.... he is now terminal. My mother in law has obviously had to care for him and they have had to move twice in this time. My mil has had to organise everything as he cant.

My FIL wants to organise something for her to show his appreciation. He wanted to take her away for the weekend and pamper her but because of everything going on in the world at the moment he cant leave the house unless for treatment. We still want him to do something for her whilst he still can.

Any ideas? We still have to be very careful of anyone going over to their house. He wants us to organise something for her as he cant talk clearly from his stroke. So please throw some ideas at me so we can talk it over with him and see what he wants to do

TIA ❤

I've seen a few posts from UK of people celebrating elderly birthdays by turning up in their front yard to sing a song or something while the oldies stay inside or front porch. Maybe something like this? Also, given his health problems there should be no inside visitors at all, they should be isolating. All my at risk family members are now seriously isolating with no contact with others at all so please get him to do this, no more visitors for his sake.

Order her a beautiful ring or necklace. Something she can keep and treasure. My dad for all of us girls matching rings with stones he had cut. It’s just something we can treasure forever.
