Devastated
60 Answers
Had a call last night to tell us that my SIL has terminal cancer, she was feeling unwell a couple of weeks ago so went to hospital for tests, they've given her 2 weeks to live! She's only in her late 40's.
I want to send a card but really don't know what to say in it or even if it's appropriate to send anything. OH is in a daze and just can't get his head round it :(

I've been sitting here for a while trying to write her a letter, the words don't seem to be coming. :(

how absolutely awful for all the family. so tragic and such a young age :-(
Get OH there asap to support her. he will never forgive himself if he leaves it too late. I think a letter is a good idea and understand how hard it must be to know what to write but just go with your heart rocky. so sad for you all x

Well you obviously need to make contact and I presume that the card will get there before your OH does. You can`t really say Get Well Soon, or Best Wishes so I would just say something along the lines of Dear ---- I am so sorry that I can`t be with you at this time but I want you to know that I am thinking of you and when (insert name) comes over to visit he brings all of my heartfelt love to you.
