The Mummy Manual
 

Heard about this on the radio a couple of days ago and just thought it was a beautiful thing to do

This should take you to the story behind the Mummy Manual (might need to copy and paste)

This one will take you to a copy of the mummy manual

It really is moving, being a mother I know how important all the things listed are.

Haven't checked your links, Fibi, but I did see the original article in the MOS, & at 10am on a Sunday, I was in tears, so, if you don't mind, I'll read them later.

Yeah, could never imagine myself in that situation.
Always happens to other people, eh?

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
