In reply to the discussion: Three weeks after the loss of my sister, my mother has died [View all]roguevalley
(40,656 posts)97. Nothing now will help much. Though we send you our love this journey is a solitary
thing. You will find some day that you will laugh and smile. You may feel with guilt the first few times but it will come. Be gentle on yourself. Your body blows are critical. My parents died ten months apart and i thought I would die. I didn't. You will come through this at some point with a better feeling for life and yourself. Keep this thread bookmarked and know that people you never met and never will reached out through the darkness to comfort you. I am sorry for this, for you and yours. It is a terrible things but like Rose Kennedy said, "After the rain, the birds sing." Take care of yourself and know you are loved.
