So sorry about your sis. I lost mine six years ago and I still often find myself thinking, “Rhon would have loved that”. Keep remembering that good stuff… ---

I’m sorry for your loss too. She sounded like my type of girl. Love a little sarcasm now and then. It’s so weird when someone is happy and healthy one day, then bam they’re gone. It’s a lot to come to terms with and I wish you and your family well. ---

I’m sorry for your loss. My sister died ten years ago, and it still hurts sometimes when I think of her. It sounds like her husband may need a lot of support. Stay close to him if you can. ---

> [@Crotalus](#): > > I’m sorry for your loss. My sister died ten years ago, and it still hurts sometimes when I think of her. My sister died almost 40 years ago; the pain and grieving definitely get better, but there’s still a sister-sized hole in my life. > [@](#): > > It sounds like her husband may need a lot of support. Stay close to him if you can. I agree - I recall people here saying that after they lost a spouse, people were great right away, then everyone just sort of disappeared. Maybe you can be the guy who doesn’t just disappear after a couple of weeks. I’m very sorry to hear about your loss, **mmm**. 64 really is far too young. ---
