Sorry to hear this news.
I still have many friends and family in Winnipeg. If they can help at all I can make a phone call for you anytime. My folks are there as well and could help if needed. As for your sister, that is totally your families call. As a teacher I will say students who come into the school year knowing about something like this, and access the support network that the school offers, are able to cope and find success far more often than students who find out any shocking news during the year. Just my observation of generalities and by know means any kind of guidance, just support. I wish you and yours all the best in this challenging time.
