My wife's father has been extremely sick for a while now.  Two days ago, his wife, my wife's stepmother went in for brain surgery to remove a tumor.  She has additional lung surgery scheduled to follow in a couple of weeks to remove more cancer.  Yesterday, her sister passed away who had been battling cancer for only a short while.  My father-in-law had been the sickest of the three until very recently.  They all live in Florida and now my father-in-law must decide whether or not, or when I guess more likely, to tell his wife that her sister (whom she is very close to) has passed.

It is an extremely difficult decision, but it is something that we can't only guide him on.  There probably is no right answer.  Tough times.  Enjoy every moment while they are good.
