我伯母大约在2003年去世。她已是84岁高龄,我伯父与她同龄。伯母的去世对伯父来说是个沉重的打击。他们结婚超过60年了。伯母去世后,我们以为伯父很快也会跟着离开。伯父愈加频繁地去教会,他的悲恸几乎令人不忍目睹。他惟一的女儿一直住在离他很远的另一个地方,因而他只能从家族的远亲以及教会同伴那里寻求慰藉。 My aunt died about 2003. She is 84 years old and my uncle has the same age. The death of aunt was a heavy blow to uncle. They have been married for more than 60 years. After Aunt died, we thought that uncle would follow sooner. His uncle went to church more often, his grief almost almost unbearable. His only daughter has lived in another place far away from him, so he can only seek comfort from his family’s distant relatives and church companions.
