The other thing is, the MIL is undergoing treatments, and is responding extremely well in the sense that while she may only have a few months left, she is still walking, talking, healthy mashaAllah. Ofcourse this means she cooks and goes out shopping, goes to friends’ houses, cleans her own bathroom, everything. In this sense, she isn’t so obviously sick and dying how you see on TV that the MIL lies in bed all day, in pain. Its more of a hidden disease where the PET scan comes out positive, followed by chemo, radiation, etc etc. Ofcourse she is getting weaker, lost all her hair, but mashaAllah still great in spirit. So, the DIL doesn’t really feel sorry for her since she doesn’t have the family bond with her that just the thought of losing her in a couple months would depress or sadden her the way the son might feel depressed.

How can u tel how she feels? The dil? I would like to know. This has touched a nerve cuz over the mourning period…we were told (both my nand and i) that we werent sad… Why? Cuz we werent ripping our hair out nor screaming nor crying out loud. I really really wanna know JUsT WHAT ppl want to see from ppl dealing with cancer. What?
