I am lifting you both up in prayer. Revelation 21:4
20 years ago a guy I used to work with (Mike) was diagnosed with Cancer and died. We were pretty close friends and his death was hard on me. I cried a lot after and for a week nothing seemed to comfort me. The one night about an hour after me and hubby went to bed there was a sound our bedroom door that woke me - I sat up in bed and realized it was my friend Mike standing there. He glowed with light and told me not to cry any more, that he was okay and happy. I spoke a few words and then laid back down. The next morning I knew I hadn't dreamed this b/c my husband asked me who I had been talking to.
The Bible teaches us that our lives here on earth are only temporary and that there's something much better waiting for us after death. I never quite got the full understanding until that night - and I remember like it was yesterday.
Prayers across the miles to your SIL & her entire family.
Bless you for giving your energy and love so freely. Hugs to you.

God bless you...
Hugs!!
