Ok ladies I don't know if all of you saw on the prayer list but we just found out that my Aunt on my moms side had cancer and it has spread to the colon, kidneys, liver and lymph so at this point they say there is no cure only chemotherapy to give her a little bit of time longer. They say if she does the chemo she might get a year, on the outside 2 years tops. She is a nurse and deciding what she wants to do because she just watched her husband go thru this for 5 years with brain tumors and chemo. I just pray that she doesn't suffer to much. So this is my question. Should I tell my husband? He is not close with that side of my family in fact has only met them once before my uncle passed away and that was for 10 days. Since Will is deployed, I don't know if I should tell him to prepare him, or wait until it happens. I know if it were his granny or mom or dad then thats a diff story, but I'm not sure what to do. Sorry to kinda go on about this, I'm just so confused. 

I would tell him even if its just so he can be there to support you. You need all the support you can get and this way too if something happens you dont just jump out and suprise him with it. I hope this helps a little and your family is definitly in my prayers! 

Yea I agree with Mommy. My husband's grandmother was sick but the only reason I didnt tell him was because he was really close to her and I didnt want it to affect him while he was over there. But in this case,if it wouldnt affect him,then I would tell him so you can get that moral support from him 

I think you should tell him so that if you get wrapped up in your own issues he knows that you have something heavy weighing on your mind and you're not just being distant with him because he is deployed. The guys can get REALLY paranoid over there and it can be really hard to keep up with what their imaginations can come up with but that's part of the job. I know Jimmy told me that there was at least one person EVER DAY telling him that I was screwing around on him. It didn't matter that they had no idea who I was. 

The weirdest part of all this is honestly I have NO clue how to feel. There are a lot of issues with my moms side of the family and a lot of hurt has come from them especailly last year when my uncle passed away. So I'm torn between being numb and sad. Thank you all for your help with this. I'll tell him when he gets back in touch later this week. 

I hope everything works out for your family((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) 

Prayers out to you girl. and yes even if hes not close to that part of your fam he cares about and and im sure he cares abouthow you feel.
