Tia, your family was so good to mine when we suffered our greatest loss 8 years 4 months and 15 days ago. I am so sorry you are having to experience such a loss, I know how much it hurts. Although, mine was my sister (and my best friend) I think anytime it is your immediate family, the hurt is almost unbearable!! When you think you can't go on, just remember God said He would never give us any more than we can bear and He will never leave us nor forsake us. That has helped me through some of my most difficult times. I will keep your family in my prayers!
