I decided that if I don't hear from my cousin about my mother's death, that I would contact my aunt (her sister).

I just googled my aunt's and her husband's name and found his obituary and it seems that they were no longer married. So still missing the information that I need to locate my aunt.

Although I don't have contact with my sister, I still miss knowing about her and her life, especially the news about my nephews, ie. is she a grandmother, yet?

I don't call my brother now, but I know whom to call if I want an up-date on him. I just miss the way it was before his health went downhill.
 
My old roommate and best friend and supporter, Ruth Scott. She moved to Washington State to live with her daughter when I had a major PTSD episode. We talk via email all the time, but haven't been able to see each other in a few years because she is in her 90's now and I can't travel because of illness.

She was the best friend I've ever had. I'm going to email her right now.
 
I am missing my friends from two years ago. A woman threatened suicide and I paniked and forwarded her emails. I so wish I hadn't done that now. I ruined my community.
 
My cousin received my letter and sent me an e-mail today.

She did inform me that my aunt (my mother's sister) died this past November. I am so glad to have this information and looked at her obituary.

I am so relieved to have heard from my cousin. We talked for over 2 1/2 hours tonight and I learned about the death of her brother, 6 years ago, and how she still misses him.

She told me about my mother's funeral and her dad, my mother's brother, who is 93, will be sending me a copy of the service program for me to have.

We talked about how my mother probably wanted me to make this contact with her to help me with my healing about my family!

I am so happy for you. It is so important to glean information about your family. I had the good fortune in 1990 to be able to do some genealogy work and found cousins I'd never known about. My grandmother's brother's family. Lovely people who had pictures of my ancestors hanging on the wall. They allowed me to have copies of them all. It was delightful. While I was up in Washington State, visiting my former roommate, I got to go visit with them, and visit my great-grandparents cemetery plots.
