I was as close to my MIL as I was to my own mother, and when she passed, it was difficult even though she had a myriad of health problems and was already wanting to go. It is indeed a blessing to have a great relationship with in-laws, and you'll always have precious memories to cling to. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/farewelling-my-mil#post-1823967 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 12:28:14 +0000 Style Fan 1823967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah when my mother died I felt a sense of relief.&nbsp; She had expressed several times that she was ready to go.&nbsp; My siblings and their partners all felt happy for her.&nbsp; I don't think it is weird at all.<br />How lovely that you had such an amazing relationship with her.&nbsp; Much love to you and your family.&nbsp; xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/farewelling-my-mil#post-1823918 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 08:55:46 +0000 rachylou 1823918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not weird at all.
