We just lost my fiance's mom 2 weeks ago. They're a very close, very big family and their mom was a true matriarch. She also didn't leave any plans for any of the complex situations she's left behind, so her and her sisters have been stuck in all this legal and business drama instead of being able to grieve, and they just lost their dad at the end of last year.

We just got engaged this summer and she was already heartbroken her dad wouldn't be there, and now she suddenly has no parents when she would talk to them every day. I'm not a big people person, but both her parents were really good to her and they all loved each other very much, and I feel really crushed this holiday season, so I can't begin to feel what they all must be feeling.

You have my sympathy. It stinks. I liked her parents more than most of my own family, and I'm sad I won't have anyone but my brother anymore to have good family time with.

I'm sure you had a really great mom, and I hope you get a proper chance to find the closure you need eventually and get to remember all the positive things again. I hope this was helpful, I feel I'm not great expressing emotional things, as I'm not used to feeling that close to many people, so please take this as my deepest sympathy and caring.
