Carol,

My mother-in-law passed away a couple of years ago and my mom lives out of state and is older and couldn't come to be with me in person but I wanted both of my "moms" so many times during my husband's treatment. I think more than anything I just wanted my mom to be there to be strong and wise and to help me and to take care of me and my husband. I wanted my mother-in-law to be there as well but was actually relieved at times that she didn't have to see her son so ill and suffering. Your daughter and son-in-law are so fortunate as you seem both compassionate about what they are going through/how much information they can take in and you are motivated to learn everything you can to be helpful to them. I, too, spent many late nights reading this forum as it felt like a lifeline to know that others understood what my husband and I were going through.
