The MND society have been a great help to her, there's a lovely organisation called Winston's Wish which helps children facing bereavement. Whether or not dad keeps it up afterwards is another matter....
Social Workers are involved to keep an eye on her younger son when she's no longer here, a good friend has offered to take him if all else fails. Poor child to be facing this, poor mum to know she's leaving her son to an uncertain future. He's lost his older brother and idol, his mum isn't far behind. It was post traumatic stress that lead to her older son taking his life, unfortunately our troups are simply dropped by the military when no longer of use, regardless of them putting their lives on the line.
No one ever knows what's around the corner, it's just so very important to treasure the here and now.
