My sister in law had been ill for a long time. She went into hosp for 4 weeks and just suddenly died in her sleep. We got on ok but I have just sort of starting to release my grief. Also I don’t see my own mum as she leaves too far away to travel all the time. When she was local we always saw each other weekly but her husband took her away from me and her granddaughters. I told her of my sis in law death and she broke down making me break down. I have always felt angry for her leaving but she needs me
