Have recently retired and am the mother of 2 "ladies" who are college graduates already. My husband is a super understanding man and a pillar of strength.

Parent, Sibling

My brother passed away a few weeks ago after valiantly fighting lung cancer. It was emotionally draining to see him slowly deteriorating while he was in the hospital. We hadn't gotten over his demise when in less than 3 weeks time, my Dad suddenly died due to an aortic anuerysm. I feel it was more of his not being able to accept my brother's demise since it was the first death in our family.I love both of them dearly and can't accept that they're both gone, most especially my Dad who I'm very close to.
