I'm not, but I have been there before. Sending sympathetic hugs grannyactivist it's terribly hard to lose a sibling, harder still when so many thousands of miles separate you. Try to enjoy your son's wonderful news in the certainty that your sister would want you to x

Yesterday morning I was feeling delighted that at long last I am on the road to recovery after a very debilitating illness. I had done a presentation on the work of my charity and although it had exhausted me I was on a high. 
Yesterday at lunchtime I got the news that my sister has died. I am feeling dreadfully sad and bereft. We have always been five sisters and now we are only four. 
Today my son, who is not yet thirty, confided that he's about to be made the youngest ever partner in his firm.
My sister lived abroad and I am still too ill to travel to her funeral.
Life is a like roller coaster,
with highs and lows
and speeds and slows,
with screams and blows,
with dreams and woes.
Just hold on. Keep holding on.
Are you in a situation of highs and lows just now?
