Thanks for writing, I am so very sorry to hear about your wife. And don't be
angry with your in-laws, I'll bet what is going on is their so wrapped up in
their own grieving process that it is hard for them to help you right now.
I was also inseparable from my mother, in fact the day I was in labor on 3-6-03
I was there trying to make her comfortable, and believe me I would not change a
moment of that. You have to feel the same. You did not mention if you have
children? But whatever female that you care about, please remind them how very
important it is to be checked every year. I have a son and two daughters as well
as two sisters, and I guess we all learned from my mothers mistakes of not
following up. But it is still very scary to loose someone so close to you, but
evently it does get easier, it doesn't go away, and you will constantly think of
her and wonder what you could have done different. But reality is Nothing. There
are still times now ( 7 months ) later that I want to call her and tell her one
of my daughters achievements, I just know that each one of our loved ones are
watching out for us. There are even times I feel like she is around me. Please
don't get angry and keep an open mind, your wife would likely want it that way.

Talk to ya later
Janice
