Hi Fibi,
My husband brought this story home a few days ago. Probably like most mothers who read it, I was in tears by the end of the article.
Having a close friend with MS and having needed support myself before when we lost one of our children, I wanted to see something positive come out of this story.
My husband is a web developer, so I have made him set up a site so mothers can contribute their own manuals. Hopefully this will be of help to anyone who is having to raise their family after losing their partner and raise a lot of money for charity.
A literary agent has already contacted me to turn the site into a book so hopefully we will seem some good news out of Helen's bravery.
The site has only just gone live and I am in the middle of writing my own manual but it is so hard to finish it without just wanting to cry. I really need mothers to help me by joining and contributing their own manuals.
The site is at
www.mummymanual.com, please help if you can.
Thanks!
Amanda
