My husband has just lost his Sister, at just 36. She leaves behind 3 young boys, a mother, father and 2 brothers. The funeral is next week and everyone else is getting in to the festive spirit, but all I am thinking about is how my friend and my sister in law is not here anymore. I am giving as much support as I can for my husband and his family. It is very difficult though as she was fighting for so long and in her final days the cancer really took over her body which was so very hard to see. I keep on having flashbacks and I know all the family have the same. Also I have recently had my second child and my mind is all over the place. I am happy to have a new baby but devastated that he will not know his Aunty when he grows up.
