Deb, if you speak to Cinta, please send my condolences for the loss of her loved ones. It can be very difficult to lose more than one family member in such a short time frame like that.
Several years ago I experienced numerous deaths of family members and a friend all within short periods of time. It began with the sudden passing of my brother in law, then 6 months later my mother in law, then 5 months later my mom passed and we also had a friend pass away during that time. Three years after those losses, my dad passed away, then 3 months later, my brother and less than a year later one of my sisters and a cousin died.
For many, grief comes and goes in waves and takes on many different facets; disbelief, sadness, anger, emptiness, etc. and there's no particular time frame for grief; for some it is brief while for others it can last months or even years. Everyone handles loss in their own way and in their own time but eventually the good memories fill the void, the pain lessens and the broken hearts heals.
