About three months ago I posted about Debbie, my ex daughter in law ( my ex's son's wife), who had breast cancer that had spread to her brain. Last night, when I came back from a week away, I had a message to say that she died last Monday. She was only 39 and leaves two teenage girls. Her husband, Graham, my ex stepson, also lost his brother to cancer, at the age of 13. As you can imagine, the family are devastated. Please keep them in your thoughts. I have had no direct contact with them for some time, though my daughter remains close to her half brother and his family, and she too is very upset. All I can do is support her.

My thoughts exactly, what an ugly word it is, so devastating and non-biased. I will keep the whole family in my thoughts and send out as many healing vibes as I have!! What a sad situation.

Thank you. My daughter will be attending the funeral tomorrow, and I had a long chat with her tonight. There is so much family history here, it is a difficult situation. But I am glad she is going as she has stayed on good terms with her half brother. She will have to meet up with his mother, which could be hard for her.

Jenny, that's just horrible! What your daughter seems to need is "strength vibes", and she'll definitely be in my thoughts this week, at the very least,
