More sad news, my heart is breaking!!

Thank you all so much for your comforting words you all took time to leave for me, I read every single one and cant believe how many nice people out there that I have never met care so much.
I have more sad sad news to share and I haven't the words to describe my grief at this very moment. My very close Aunt died yesterday evening of terminal cancer, she was only diagnosed 5 weeks ago and is now gone, she lived in the west coast of Ireland and I got to speak to her over the phone as her daughter held the phone to her ear to tell her I loved her, this was just the night before, and my mum was with her when she passed away in her own home in a hospital bed. I travel on saturday to her funeral and she was a very popular lady and well loved.
I also encouraged her to take up card making and rubber stamping, so the two of us over the last 8 years spent time going around the craft shops and getting so excited at any new rubber stamps we would have bought.
In 10 months I have lost my grandfather, my father and now my dear aunt, I loved these people so much.
Take care xx
