Certainly made me think about my day. I'll pray for the family GM. I'll pray for all those connected, I'll pray for the hospital workers, the doctors, nurses and staff and I'll pray for you.

Scrapbooking where the mum can write and physically leave a mark and a video where she can leave her voice and smile are excellent ideas. keep smiling! Stephanie thanks for the ideas.

I listen to a recording of the boy laughing and find peace in it. Maybe a special day with each child individually doing something the child has always wanted to do. That lasting memory of one on one time with mom is priceless, especially if it's followed up with pictures and a memoir of the day from mom focusing on how much she enjoyed her time with that child. If she wants anything scrapbooked I will gladly help out. I've seen books made for individuals with memos and things written in. Beautiful. Wish her peace.

A little too emotional to be polite, I think! Your advice is the best - I flicked across an RTE programme about mothers preparing to leave their children - memory boxes like you suggested, roleplaying funerals. That's it though, I had to turn it off, it would have been a torture to watch. I'm so sorry about your friend. I hope she finds support and solace. I know a good homoeopath in south Dublin who does a lot of work with termainally ill patients - she comes from a good place as she's recovered from two serious cancers herself.
