My beloved sister's demise

My beloved sister passed away yesterday. She was in hospital for a few days but the medical treatment was in vain. I am unable to bear the pain.

Following photos show her:

My sister is seated in the left. It was during her younger daughter's wedding in 2020.

My sister is seated 2nd from left. This was at a family function of my beloved brother three years ago.

Two months ago when I was hospitalized for two weeks, it was my sister who was with me round the clock at the hospital. I cannot forget the emotional support that she gave. It was she who recommended an efficient dental clinic near her home for getting my dentures fixed.

She was proud of Reshma, her younger daughter. Having had brilliant academic credential in her B Tech Degree followed by hardworking career in a multinational Publishing Company, she has travelled to many countries on work. My sister told me that recently her Company sanctioned an increase in salary such that her salary per month is Rs One lakh. 

My sister was proud of Sushma, her elder daughter too. Sushma is taking care of Saaswathi and Saatwickaa, two daughters. 

My sister never thought of leaving her matrimonial home for her parents' home even in non-conducive situations.

Following photoes were taken most recently:

My sister's mortal remains were cremated this evening.

I wish that Shree Hari gives mental strength to her husband, daughters, grand-daughters and son-in-law to bear the loss.

My parents gave birth to three of us (children). Having lost my beloved parents and beloved siblings, I am overwhelmed by loneliness.

I wish that my beloved sister's soul will be on it's way to serve the Lotus Feet of Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu🙏🙏.
