Hello Lovemydad

I'm so sorry to hear that your Mum recently passed away. Understandably this is an incredibly difficult time for you right now and for your father-in-law to have had a cancer diagnosis this week, well it's natural that you're feeling so low. 

I know that many people have found it helpful to talk to someone after the loss of a loved one and so I wanted to give you the link to a bereavement charity called Cruse. They're able to offer a number of different bereavement support services so do have a look at their website. 

Hopefully things will go well with your father-in-law's treatment but the important thing now is that you're looking after yourself as well as everyone else in the family. Do talk to your partner about how you're feeling. Lean on those around you for support. 

Keep in touch and let us know how you're doing. 

Best wishes,
Jenn
