My aunt just passed this morning.

it was expected. she was welcoming it as much as possible.
she was a huge huge part of the last 40 years of my life. I need to be happy for her but am feeling very empty and numb today. I need to get my sh#$ together and pick up my young sons who spent the night at my inlaws after we had dinner with them last night. It is almost 2:00 pm and I don't even want to get out of my pj's. Christmas is over. I am putting things away today - I am emotionally spent and I did my job for my children alone without my husband and now without my aunt Sara.

God loves you Sara - he did not forget you. Welcome Home!
I pray it is all you hoped for and that Bill was in the receiving line to give you a huge ass hug! Love you!

So sorry to hear about your aunt's passing. What has helped me get through the loss of loved ones was recalling the wonderful memories we created together. It sounds as though you have similar memories with your aunt. I hope you can rely on those memories in the months and years ahead.
