I can feel your pain in this. And it reminds me of what my own mother went through so many decades ago and long before I was born.
To lose one, that was once apart of you, is a grieving I can't not conceive. Yet I know what that loss of two cost my own mother.
I think it drove her somewhat mad and to drinking.
My own siblings I believe gave blame to her for what had happened. For even they were affected by the horrors of war that savaged their own young bodies.
Yet the cost it did to our own mother I seriously doubt they understood to the full effect. And likely why they did little when she was in her later years.
She told me things that I doubt she ever mentioned to them. How she grew up, how she watched her father die, and other personal things. All because I took care of her as she did me as a healthy baby.
Yet the horror, the terrible terrible loses of her own children literally broke her spirit for decades to come.
I can only hope you can see around these dreadful feelings. Yet attempt to relate your loses as well to your own children. For they do need to know, yet only when they are ready.
I was 40 years old when she finally told me of her loses. I greatly respect her for it, despite what it cost her over the decades as well as onto her own untimely passing.
If only my half siblings took the time to understand just what she went through all through both world wars in Romania and all throughout Europe then. 😢
The secrets never mentioned, can also never be learn from. And can cause even resentment if never heard.
The past is never just the past. It's a tool to be learned about. Or else it will be repeated.
My eldest half sister is now gone as well. I'm certain she passed alone despite her silence to her own kids. 😞
I was never told of even her passing.

This is heartbreaking. I do not have the words to comfort you from such a tragic loss. You have time and other children as life goes on despite your grief. Please take good care of you and them. May I also suggest a counsellor or support group? Grizzly bear hugggggssss, girl.
