So sorry to hear this Kay, we lost my husbands twin a week ago with this dreadful virus. (Also put on that deleted thread.)My sincere condolences to you all at this very sad time. <3

I remember your post.

Very sad. Difficult for you too as I suspect you want to be over there for your son.

Oh I am so sorry to read this Kay. How sad for your son and his wife's family. And for you too because you are naturally feeling for your son. Has he any friends outside of the family there to support him? If not, if you are close to him, after a few days do tell him that he needs to grieve, men don't have to be strong and silent any more. I am sure that his wife will understand that he too is sad both for the loss of his father in law and for himself as he feels his wife's sadness. The younger generation are much more comfortable than we were/are at talking about their feelings.
But what a horrible disease this is. <3

I'm so sorry to hear this, Kay.

But you are quite right, your son needs to grieve and to take time for himself as well as taking care of his wife and her mother.

Oh my Kay, my heart goes out to the family. I hope they all support each other and grieve together, such a sad time.

So sorry to hear this Kay, so many families going through the same sad situation I'm sure.

Last weekend I added a comment to a thread of Rollos that has since been deleted and a few of you responded. I mentioned that my youngest sons' father-in-law was in hospital, on life support after catching Covid.
He suffered severe lung damage due to pneumonia and also kidney failure. He died this morning having never regained consciousness. My poor Son is devastated but feels he has to stay strong for his wife and mother-in-law. There's nothing I can do as they live in America and I don't even feel able to tell him that he must also allow himself to grieve. He might be the only man in a household of females but they mustn't all look to him for support or he'll be the one to "break". Thank you for reading. X
