Hi Labrador2
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
I am Steve, one of the community champions and my expereince of cancer is via my wife who has Leiomyosarcoma.
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your brother and now your mother in law too. There are a couple of good charities that can help with dealing with grief cruse bereavment care and the loss foundation.
Sharing on here can be helpful but sometimes talking can take things a bit further, you are of course welcome to ring the helpline here - 0808 808 0000 - it is open 8am to 8pm 7 days a week. If face to face might help too then we have a tool in your area that can find support near you.
Sometimes people say to Jancie and I "how do you cope" and perhaps the most honest answer is we were not given a choice.
<<hugs>>
Steve
