I'm sorry to hear jabber. They must have been valued friends.

What I didn't mention was also my father whom we just found out his cancer is advancing. He's 81. It has been a time of significant change for myself. Several days after sister's funeral in one province, I had to return home to my province and then move out a 3rd province, several thousand kms. away to a new city to start a new job. I like my employer, it's in govn't. But I know no one in this city. Signing a lease for an apartment that I never saw in advance in person, etc. Unlike some folks here, I am not retired.

I do have access for some counselling that is offered by my employer as part of our employment benefit pkg.

Edelweiss, I am the yappiest family member on paper. I enjoy writing, I've always been like this. Other members don't get much into it..I can tell by their email communication over the years.

For our siser's eulogy, it was collectively written by all of us, which was a good thing.
