Hi Jay.
> I am at the age where there are more funerals then anything. She was 93, and in dementia. Sad my poor sweet sister had to see her die, as she died in my sister's home at 1100 pm last SATURDAY night. My Sis tried to give her CPR, BUT no luck. I held her in my arms today at the funeral as she couldn't stop crying. She is so sweet and sensitive, and sadly suffers from bad depression too. She is on Cipralex/Lexapro, but still not good. Now she talks about divorcing her husband of 30 years...they have 3 kids, all over 20, and 1 grandkid on the way. I think this is my calling...to try and save my big sister. I'd give my life for her. So...we'll see.....
I'm sorry for your loss, but I guess it was time. Even when you know it's coming, the world still seems somewhat empty knowing that she is no longer a part of it. This was my experience. I just lost my grandmother at age 99. She was the last of her generation. Although I had a lot of time to prepare for it, that did not prevent a river of tears that I shed. Fortunately, she was mentally sharp right up until the end, and provided me with many joys in her later years.
