I'm not the best at these kinda things.

But I did want to support BOTS, even if it was in an awkward way.

I'm sorry to hear about that btw LT.

I honestly feel sorry for the children too who must be devastated.

It must be really difficult to process.

Hopefully you're doing the best that you can about this news.

My mum was diagnosed and died in 4 weeks. At the time it was shockingly quick and devastating but now....7 years later, I am almost glad it was so quick. We had no half hopes of treatment, my mum refused any palliative care but they managed her pain so we never saw her suffer through treatment. It is no solace to lose anyone so quickly.....but looking back it would have been worse to see her suffer through treatment that would only prolong her life by months.

Its far too early for them to feel amy kind of solace and its so.awful to lose someone so quickly.. my heart goes out to them xx
