I am the only surviving member of my immediate family of five.  My older brother dies when he was eating peanuts in bed an choked on the peanuts.  My younger brother died of pancreatic cancer.  My mother died of multiple mini strokes, end state dementia and Alzheimers, and old age.  My father died eleven months later of congestive heart failure.  By the time he died, I was the only surviving member of my family.  Has anyone else dealt with this and how do they do it during the holidays.
