Allison, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost a sibling a year ago tomorrow. The loss of my sister devastated my Mother. Even though we were prepared for her passing after a long illness, nothing prepared us for how it would affect my Mother. It was the gathering of love and solace from my remaining siblings and myself, that has softened the pain of the loss for my Mother. She has adjusted and the happy memories are her saving grace. I pray that you share the love of family and friends that will help you during this time of need in your life. May God be with you!
