aww sis, it is such a hard thing to go through! Yesterday made 8 years since our family accident where we lost 3 of our family members, & even now it hurts. We know & understand the plan but, as humans we long to hear their voice, see their face...i mean we long for just about everything & anything with them. Especially when things happen in our lives, & they aren't there to talk to & counsel us! All we can do sis is to live our life the best way we know how so that we can be with them again! It'll be a long while til the pain goes away, & it may never go away but..having the gospel of Jesus Christ makes it easier for us to cope with! I love you sis...stay close to ur pops & be there for him as we your sisters are here for you!
...but I just realized how hard this must be for my father. As I try to sort out my own feelings, I haven't been able to see past my own nose. Today, I sat with my father and tried to express to him how hard it has been for me to process the loss of my mother combined with the distraction of two cousins that never left since their arrival prior to my mother's funeral.
He said one sentence that just broke my heart: "I wish I could be wherever she is."
