On this occasion I'm the person who must be aware of someone else's feelings in grief and it's difficult to know what's acceptable...and what's not. I'm going with instinct and choosing my words carefully as I want my Aunt to know I'm thinking of her this Christmas, but I imagine it's going to be a very difficult time for her.

David , my brother in law lived with us for five years until april this year so i grew attached to him during this period. The pain is not as severe as it has been with losing my son but it certainly makes you realise how precious life is and how much we should appreciate good health, our family and friends.

You're right. Grief is grief, and a person whom we expect to die is still missed when they do finally succumb. I share your wish for your Aunt to find some peace, and add that wish for you as well.
