Hi Sasha, 

I'm really sorry to hear your future father in law passed away just weeks before your wedding. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you all and on behalf of the team here at Cancer Chat I want to offer you and your family our sincerest and heartfelt condolences.

It can be very difficult speaking about the passing of a loved one as you are finding out. If you feel like you can't speak to partner's family about this how about your family or close friends? I'm sure they would want to do all they can to support you at this difficult time. You can also chat to us about what you have been through as our members will really understand how you are feeling having been in similar situations with their family members and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and share their experiences with you.

I have also included some information about coping with grief which I hope will be of some help to you at this time. 

Kind regards, 

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

My mum died 10 days before my niece was getting g married she was distressed about still having the wedding we told her to go ahead as we all needed something good to celebrate the only sad time was when she paid tribute to my mum her nan I cried she saw me and felt.bad but I told her I was crying because what she said was lovely and included my mum in the celebration. 

I was devastated when my mum died of cancer as we were.very close.and I had taken of year off my work to care for her which I was ever grateful I could do as we got even closer. The wedding was lovely and my mum would have been overjoyed to see her grAnddaughter marry
