That was one of the hardest phone-calls I've ever made.
Lots of crying. I got her to laugh a few times over memories, which she thanked me for. Told her about how close I came - she said she'd heard the same thing from others, and that it was helping her to deal.
We reminded each other a lot about our family love.
Call ended with "I love you's".
Hung up and balled like a baby.
