And I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP HER! Oh, I know all the platitudes and cliches to say. And I know how to hug her and talk to her. And my children are very happy to have her here as well.
But what do I say when she is crying because she lost a key charm that her mom gave her. Something of great sentimental value. Because that is what happened last night. And I was a complete and total loss. I mean, I know I would be hysterical. And I am a grown 39 woman and I know that I would be that way about losing something. My sister's things give her great comfort. And events like this are going to happen. I wish I could find it for her. My heart breaks for her. Her mom was such a big part of her life and I know that the hole I feel feels as it it won't heal, so how must she feel.
All I can do is just hug her and tell her that her memories are with her, and that it's ok. What else could I say or do.

Girl, you are doing exactly the right thing. Just keep being there for her, as time passes she will begin to heal - and so will you.
As for the keychain, just keep looking, hopefully it will turn up in the least likely place.
(((hugs for you both)))
