I understand the pain of loosing a loved family member. We had to 'pull the plug' on my Nanny, who was one of my good friends. She had a double massive stroke and was brain dead but she stuck around a few days after taken off life support. My Poppop also passed away a few years ago from brain cancer. I know in my heart that they are up in Heaven, or whatever it may be called. I can see my Nanny playing cards with all of her old friends, and my Poppop somehow finding a way to grow crops up in the clouds! I am quite positive that Heaven exists, and I can't wait until I am old and can one day visit all of my loved ones one day. I still talk to them, and I think they can answer me in small ways to let me know things are going to be okay. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
