FEELING SO SAD IN THE HEART, LOST A LOVED NIECE TH

Gai was just 8 or so years younger than me but she endured so much heartache and dealt with a drug addiction with 4 dependent young children after losing her young husband to suicide after a nasty work accident that mutilated his leg. Poor Gai endured her own crap, cleaned up her life but the last few years of her existence were spent looking after her elderly dad, she saw him through several life-threatening moments just in this year. She herself developed rheumetoid arthritis in January and endured months of agony. Her young life was rapidly shut down with her organs giving up one-by-one this week. Gai's last hours battled the effects of an ensuing cardiac arrest. This took us all by surprise, shook the guts out of us. But I felt bittersweet last night to find out that Gai had called her mum (my sister) and her siblings just a few days before her own death, to mend some very deeply shattered bridges.

I feel broken. My poor darling niece, it is only just really hitting me now. It will break my heart so much more to witness the despair of my sister at the loss of her youngest child at the funeral ceremony, as well as Gai's brother and sister. My problem is, I absorb others' pain and suffer that along with my own.

First of all my Prayers and thoughts are with you with you and your family. Sometimes we do absorb others pain, but in all reality of life, we must let them go, for they are not in pain anymore, so why should keep their pain alive? I use to do that, till someone said, If you let them go and be free, you will be free as well. You will one day find that you will be just as free as those whom we have loved that have gone on before us.
take care of you, and your family...
