I am so very sorry for your loss.

If you can copy and save your post about your family. Those were beautiful words and ones you should share with these sweet children and their father. I will pray for peace and safe travel. I am sure the angels your Dsil loved are watching over all of you right now.

Everyone, thank you all for your prayers and for your thoughts. I can really feel the love from this diverse group of people. We may squabble, fight and caterwaul, but when push comes to shove, we care about each other deeply.

I may sit down and start typing out my memories of DSIL. Losing her is like. . .I don't know. I've lost my DMIL and DFIL since we've been married, but those were different. They'd had good, rich lives. It's not that any death isn't incredibly painful, but this one. . .it's like there's a hole in our family right now, a big, empty, aching hole.

I'm going to spend Wed - Sunday with them, just be there for the kids, especially through the visitation and the funeral and the after stuff.

What has really struck me is how the kids in my niece and nephew's youth group have come together and are really supporting them. Last night, a bunch of the nephew's friends showed up and just hung out with nephew for a while. Both of niece's BFFs showed up and one spent the night with my niece. This afternoon, as soon as church was over, about 12 girls turned up. They were supposed to go to a school thing, but mutinied and decided they wanted to support my niece and made their parents drive them to my parents' house, where everyone is staying. The girls all signed a card; the ones not on my niece's phone already included their #'s for texting. They brought her a huge, soft, stuffed bear and they all told her they loved her and were there for her.

My mom was 55 when she died, and the family feels the same way. We had a small reunion in December at WDW, and I think my aunt (her sister) and I kept looking around for her. Even though it's been nearly years.

I'm so sorry that your family will be going through that as well.


I'm also sorry about the Dresden Files you pre-ordered...I'd just sent my mom a CD, she got it a few days before she suddenly died, and seeing that CD on the table at her spot was nearly impossible to deal with. Small things like that can really impact you, and I want you to know you're not alone in thinking of that sort of thing.

Thank you! I just keep thinking of how much she was looking forward to reading this next book in the series. I'm going to go with my niece to the school and we're going to clean out her room. I can't imagine how difficult that will be for my niece, but she really wants to do it herself, I'm sure there will be many, many things in that room just like that for my niece.

I'm so sorry I definitely know what you mean when you say there's a big hole in the family. My aunt died the day before her 59th birthday in March. I had just lost my grandpa which of course was extremely sad, but there really is a huge difference between losing someone who's 91 and someone who's 59.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. I was very very close to my Sister-in-law and we lost her at the age of 48 also as she had many medical problems including Diabetes also. She was on so many different meds that they finally interacted with each other. That was exactly 2 years after losing her Mom in September of 2002. I still miss her terribly and will sit here on occasion and ball my eyes out for her. I know she is right here with me and so is my mother-in-law - miss her terribly also. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Very sorry to hear this, SC. My condolences and prayers for you and all your family. God speed for your sister-in-law.
