Oh hon I am so sorry for your loss.  I wish I was close enough to help out with whatever.    My parents also talked with those that had gone on while they were passing.  Something that has helped me to deal with my loss is from 1st Thessalonians.  I can't quote it exactly but the verse speaks of not grieving for those who have gone on for they will rise with the Lord.  My thought is that if we have been celebrating the Ressurection for all these years, doesn't it stand to reason that our loved ones are never really gone.   Please let me know if I can  do anything.   Becky
