Sharon makes a huge decision
WHAT WILL HER LOVED ONES SAY?
Grief-stricken Sharon makes a massive decision about her future this week, following the heartbreak of planning Dennis’ funeral.
The bereaved mother is barely functioning in the wake of her terrible loss, and her friends are doing everything they can to support her and baby Kayden. But despite their loving presence, Sharon isn’t coping at all. The task of arranging a goodbye for Dennis is too much for her to handle – and she stuns all those around her by coming to a decision that will change her life for good.

“Everyone is stunned by what she has to say, particularly Ian,” shares our source. “He’s been doing what he can for Sharon, but his part in Dennis’ death haunts him. If Sharon knew Ian was responsible for the lad dying, their friendship would be shattered forever.
So, Ian is determined to do all he can for Sharon now, while she’s oblivious to his actions.”
Will Sharon accept Ian’s help and see through her decision, or can those around her make her see sense before it’s too late?
