Thanks for all the replies and the support!
It's much appreciated that this topic is read and that there are members here who have taken the time to leave a reply here.

At the moment my mother-in-law is still alive but very, very ill.
I think she will live just a few weeks before she will pass away.

The only thing me and my family can do now is spend as much time as possible with her in the short period we have left.

Sounds strange maybe, but I'm trading alot at the moment and it makes me feel good.
Just a chance to set my mind on something different.
Also work is really a relief right now. Although I don't have the easiest job (I'm a teacher in high school).

I'll keep everyone posted.

I'm sorry to hear what you and your family are going through. It's never easy. I was fortunate and hadn't experienced the loss of a family member until a few years ago. Within a few years, both my grandmother and then grandfather passed away. When my grandfather passed, we were doing a lot of driving to the viewings and the funeral. So, I made myself a playlist of songs I liked that touched upon loss and listened to it while driving. I never told my wife what the playlist was for. She heard it a few months later and liked it. When I told her why I made it, she said she kinda thought so. Music is a powerful thing!

Once again, I'm sorry to hear about your mother-in-law.

I just read the topic and I'd like to express my deepest feelings for the situation you and your family are dealing with.
I'm sure it's demanding and your mother-in-law needs all the support from you. As you said spending as much time as possible with her can ease the pain. I understand how hard it is to find the strength to work at school and then return at home and take advantage of each precious moment. I'm not surprised music (even trading, which is part of enjoying it) still heals the agony.
Stay strong my friend.

Will certainly try to stay strong!

Tomorrow is her cremation. It's gonna be a tough day but it will be a service the way she would have wanted it.

That gives some relief and peace.

After that we're gonna celebrate with the family!

Again thanks to everyone who took the time to read this topic and to the people that left a reply!
