Just thought I would ask you very wise ladies.
DH's grandmother had a major stroke yesterday which they don't think she is going to come out of - she hasn't regained consciousness yet! We all expected it - it's not the first stroke and she said she was only hanging on to see us married. She is lovely, a real character and so full of love for everyone, we will all really miss her. DH taking it very well though far better than I thought he would.
Thing is I am supposed to be going to Hen weekend of Best Friend's sister tomorrow night and returning on Sunday. DH said to go - that I can do nothing sitting around here and he will be occupied with DS anyway (he has had to cancel going to football as his mum was having DS and of course now she can't).
Thing is his grandmother may still be around for weeks to come yet as I am not sure what they do when a very old person is unconscious after a stroke so he says not to stop doing thinsg - but I just fear that if she passes over the weekend he will be here with just DS and all I can do is picture him crying on his own.
Am also not sure if it good form in terms of new in-laws - would they think I am horrid and callous if I go??
Its not really my thing that we are going to anyway but BF has just moved a long way a way and it would be nice to spend some time with her.
Oh I don't know what to do for the best - so help please!!!
