Counting Stars Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 If it was me I would want my husband with me. However it's obviously different for different people. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 also what is the price of a return ticket for adult ....... in your opinion would it be best if Jacqui went to the uk alone , with me , her mum , my eldest ..I really don't know ......my Mum and Dad will be in the Uk for her ....... Price varies, I haven't looked but I'd say around $1500. Personally if you can afford it I think your eldest or MIL should probably go with her. Even yourself if you feel up to the journey as I know you aren't well. You could look at splitting the flight to save money ie tiger airways to Singapore and then a cheap airline to the UK but to be honest I don't think you need the stress or more hassle right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tappers2oz Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Just be there for her Hun, if you can sort all the passport stuff out and organise the flights that will be a huge help. Was he in Egypt with someone else, just wondered if they could fill in the gaps for you. Ditto what PQ said. Just be there for her, neither her or you will know how she will need you until the time arises and then it will become clear what needs to happen. A hug, a happy memory, could be anything. My hubby went above and beyond when my mum died (dealt with the police as it was also a sudden death, and greeted the coroners when they picked her up from the house). We had ideas of what my mum died off but until the postmortem was carried out it was a confusing time. After, I dunno, I suppose if felt like a weight was lifted that we knew what it was. I'm sorry I have no practical help with passport info but I hope my post helps in other ways. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovingtoTasmania Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm so so sorry Nick :hug::hug:. Please extend my sincerest condolences to Mrs TM and the children. I feel that if you can go, then that would be really good but barring this, Mum can stand in for you. What a terrible shock for you all. Be there for her and give her lots of hugs and cuddles, which I'm sure you are anyway. Anything I can do, let me know (not much I know from the UK but pick-ups from airport etc, if coming to this side of the UK).

bell123321 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I know I don't know you but sorry to hear for your loss. I hope you manage to get the passports sorted very quickly. For flights have a look at: www.skyscanner.net and change country to Australia and Australia dollars and it will compare all the airlines for you. (If your looking at booking without a travel agent). In the meantime just be there for your wife even if words can not help just being there and supportive will help so much. Take care of one another.
