On losing a loved one

Since Sunday we have been sitting vigil at my aunt's bedside. She suffered a stroke and became unconscious. She was cared for at home by her loving family and companion/caregiver. Both her children were with her and all the grandchildren were able to fly in from all over the country. They were all together for at least 24 hours and after a big gathering which my aunt would have loved, she slowly stopped breathing last night. She was a terrific woman, a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She always bragged about her family and then went on to brag about any of her extended family and friends to anyone who would listen!
