I know that it is late but I just wanted to encourage you and your family and let you know that God will give you strength just ask him for it and will keep you and your family in my prayers.  I may not know how this feel with losing a sister but both of my parents passed away with a massive heart attack.  It will take time but know God is a comforter and he will be with you and your family through it all. God Bless you.

My deepest sympathy to you. It's hard to lose loved ones. I'm still grieving loss of my husband 14 months ago. Time eventually heals albeit very slowly. Peace.

Lean on Jesus he is the great comforter!

How is leaning upon a deceased person speciously attributed with supernatural 'powers', (and allegedly being a 'zombie' briefly), meant to be comforting?

How do you dare ! at time of sorrow and you have to come in    She asked for prayers and we pray to whom and however we want !

How do you dare ! at time of sorrow and you have to come in    

How dare I "come in" to ask another person, (not the OP), about their evangelistic remark?  I dare because questioning such preconceptions as they arise cannot be censored by 'religious indignation'.  Just because not many religious adherents "dare" to question their own assumptions, that doesn't mean others must follow suit.

She asked for prayers and we pray to whom and however we want !

Yes, anyone who wishes to engage in intercessory magical evocational rituals ("prayers") to hypothetical 'deities' still has that option.  My questions do not take that option away and merely inquired how "leaning on them" was meant to be comforting.

I also 'dared' to post this to "aggie", instead: 'it's difficult to lose someone you care for and no words can make up for such a loss, even these.  Eventually, we go on - with or without lessened pain.'

I am so sorry to hear this!  You must be heartbroken. You might find the book "How to Survive the Loss of a Love" (Colgrove, Bloomfield and McWilliams) very comforting.  It's helped me many times in the past. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

So sorry Aggie.  Remember to care for yourself as you take of the others in your family.
