Very sad news,.

The key is probably to take the cues from the woman herself - if you know her well, you should be able to pick up whether she wants you to be gentle/caring or a bit more boisterous (the STE she knows and... puts up with). In truth, it will probably need a mix of both - and remember to offer support to the rest of the family as well, that may help them to help her.



thanks claudio, I just want to give her a big hug but it may not be what she wants. My mum is heart broken as well.

Her son is getting married in December, I hope shes there to see it.
