Put your thoughts of today in a letter to him along with any special memories you have of him and attach it to the flowers when you leave them. It can be your own special goodbye. Liz x

I know now that the very last thing anyone can do for another person is to show they care and you probably did that many, many a time. There is no need to be guilty, or feel you have let anyone down. I hope you manage to celebrate your dear BIL's life in your own way today and that you will be able to see your sister soon. Susan

I couldn't go to my MIL's funeral and I was gutted. That was through illness for me as well. I really wanted to support my husband and pay my last respects to her but I just couldn't go. I spent most of the time crying because I thought she would think so badly of me as I hadn't gone, but I'm sure she would have understood. I'm sure your BIL will have understood as well, he will have known you badly wanted to be there, don't worry, he won't hold it against you. Andrea xx

Please don't feel guilty because if you had travelled to the funeral, you would probably feel a lot worse than you already do, if that's possible. With this kind of illness, stress does horrid things. Your sister knows you'll be there in spirit if not in body and you can talk to her on the phone later. You could always contact Flying Flowers in Gurnsey, or someone and have some flowers delivered to your sister......... just an idea. Big (((((((((((hugs)))))))))) Luv Pauline xxx
