Very sorry to hear that STID. If Sandra was young enough for your in laws to still be around, they're the ones I feel most sympathy for as well as yourself. There can't be many people who haven't known someone who has been taken by this awful killer disease. My sister was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in June and died just a few weeks ago at the end of July. The speed at which it has all happened has shaken the family, especially my 98yo mother. Nobody should ever have to bury their own child.
Thank you and also very sorry to about your sister. Sandra's was secondary cancer from a small melanoma, and took a few short months from diagnosis to passing away. Likewise her parents outlived her, saying the same as you that no parents should outlive their children. Her father lost the will to live and passed away a few months after.
My thoughts are with you and your family at what is still no doubt a very hard time
