BWB, I am so sorry to hear of your loved ones passing. This will be a time of reflection and mixed emotions. You will deal with it in a way that works for you. There is no amount of time to grieve.It is a personal thing. Use all that you have learned through caregiving to guide you through this

During times like this, we sometimes see the worst in people, but more often, we see the shining best! Your whole family, even if everyone wasnt always on the same page 100% of the time, has pulled together for your MIL, so now that she has gotten her wings, they have learned how important it is to stick tight to those we love dearly. Hopefully, it's a lesson that will stick with everyone for the rest of their lives. Your MIL had an awesome family... and I suspect that even if you may have a little bias, you got the pick of the litter ESPECIALLY since he was wise enough to have picked YOU!!

I agree with BG!!! Dearest Blue, you are blessed with such a good man. I would advise anyone who has daughters to encourage them to marry a man who loves his mom. Their hearts are in the right place.
I have to say, sad as it is. H and his brother are spending time together and getting along better than I thought they would be, given everything that has happened in the past.
Bil and Sil were very attentive and helpful during the trials of the past month. I think he just could not face the fact that he had to give his Mother up.
My H on the other hand is his Mother's hero! He stood up for her wishes and carried them out to the end. He gave everything back to his Mother that she had given him all these years. I am so proud to have him for my own!!!!!!!!
