Wouldn't it be nice to reminisce with them while you both can enjoy laughter and tears? I think in a way it's a blessing to be able to spend moments together because with time being precious, it helps put things into perspective. I often learn more about living through dying.

Perhaps you can have a special gathering of friends and family who would like to share their favorite stories and events they shared with your aunt or step-mother. And as they make their final preparations, wouldn't you like to be a part of something that could be personalized to their tastes? Perhaps your aunt would like people to wear a certain color blouse to the funeral. Or maybe your step-mother would enjoy a contribution made in memory of her generosity.

I'm very sorry you are having to face losing 2 special people to cancer. I know it's a difficult time but know you are near in my thoughts and prayers.
