To be fair, there was a lot of conversation and debate about moving ahead with the Christmas holiday.
Eventually, Sarah and Sunita both decided that it would be beneficial to have this trip, and not wallow in their loss.
Sarah knows people who have done this. A close friend of her mum went into perpetual depression when her husband died. This was literally decades ago.
The family was so proud of their mum when she didn’t follow suit when Sarah’s dad passed away. She stepped up and took charge of the missionary school (CDC), to keep herself busy, and because the people were relying on her.
The girls did the same. During their mums absence, CDC transitioned into a more local management structure, so there was no pressing need for one of the children to take up the reigns. Regardless, they all wanted to honour their parents by moving forward.
