[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 157579, member: 3419"] Steely, that's actually very encouraging to hear about you talking with-your parents like that. I think you've all come a long way. I am impressed and relieved, just from my end of things. I don't see any conflict between pretending that your sister is still there in your mind, as long as it doesn't interfere with-your real activities, and I don't see why, if it helps, you can't think that way. My f-i-l was a hard core computer scientist and atheist, and after his wife, (my m-i-l) died, he did the same thing. I thought it was quite amusing because it kind of flew in the face of his atheism, but it wasn't like he didn't know the difference. After a awhile it faded and he learned to deal with-the ache in his heart. That's so sad, what your dad said about going first. He is grieving, too. Parents shouldn't outlive their children. Stick together. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
