Skeez,
My sister is a Shin Buddhist, so I'm okay with that. In fact, we have a niche in the Nokotsudo at her temple for our ashes.
I'm not feeling well after being up all night. Please forgive me for this brief post.
Thank you so much for your help. I would love to hear the Buddhist beliefs. I've not shared my deep grief with my sister as she has her own burdens. I don't want to add to them.
