My 65-year-old aunt passed away after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. She was a wonderful and friendly person, very caring and thoughtful woman. She treated me just like her son despite the fact she had three kids of her own. Just this past Christmas I saw her with a big smile on her face, happy to see me when I visitied her for the Holidays and she appeared to be in good spirits and feeling strong. But things took a turn for the worse over the past few months and I never got a chance to see her again, despite the fact I was planning to visit her during the summertime.

Her funeral services will be held on Friday and I'm just trying to make it through the best way I can. I just feel a sense of great loss and a lot of tears have been slowly streaming down my eyes. I'm sure I'll feel better as time goes on, but some encouraging words and prayers are always helpful.

Right now, I'm all alone trying to mentally take it all in, I can't even get any sleep right now. I've been talking to a few family members and friends all evening yesterday. They all tell me to remain strong but the truth is I'm feeling quite lost and confused right now.

Rest in peace, i will pray for her.

If this will make you feel better, death is not the end but its another natural part of the life, imagine now she will no longer feel pain, at last she will rest peacefully now.

I will pray for her. All my condoleances.

Didn't see any spelling errors, that means that you truly are strong. You can handle it. The worst part is the inital week or so but then you come to accept it. Once you accept that she is gone then it will be easier from there. Just remember that she (Providing she was a Christian) is in heaven now and she is happy where she is. I'll keep you in my prayers.
