Many employers are surprisingly good on these things. My old man had a relatively senior role at a very big (FTSE-100) company, and when my mum was on the way out, they were fantastic. They were adamant that he took whatever time he needed, and just asked him to give them as much notice as possible when he needed time off.

Sorry to you hear you and Mrs Ivor had a rubbish weekend Ivor
 It's a horrible, horrible illness. As I said, just kiss her and let her know how much you love her every day, even if you can't actually hug her properly! |

 Apollo geese if it doesn't belong here. Liver cancer can cause pain around the back, shoulder blades, shoulders and under the arms - for which she has strong pain-killers. This weekend she was also being frequently sick - so everytime she took the PK's she brought them up again with inevitable consequences. Shouldn't be troubling the thread with this stuff - but you are my, albeit involuntary, McMillan nurses tonight.  |

Despite all the irrelevant trivia, we are a caring bunch really. Sometimes it helps to have someone completely anonymous and disassociated with your problems to vent one's spleen to.
I think that it's exactly what the thread's meant for, by the way. Anyway, hugs may be out, but your kisses will never hurt her  Just to provide context, my mum died of breast cancer in her 50s - spread to her spine, ribs and liver quite quickly, so that's where the advice is coming from. |
