To me, the words “comfort” and “family” are interchangeable. I am fortunate, I realize. For many, the word family creates feelings of anger, frustration, hurt, and uneasiness.
When I saw that “comfort” was the weekly photo challenge, instantly pictures of my sisters came to mind. My family is my comfort no matter the reason, time, or place.

Absolutely beautiful and I like that you have used B+W for this image
Excellent choice of subject and photo – they look at peace in each others arms at what must have been a difficult time.
the photo is beautiful
The photo is just beautiful and they seem so peaceful
There is a special connection between sisters which you have captured in this photo. Comfort in each others arms. Perfect photo for this challenge.
Beautiful photo and interpretation. : )
Agreed perfectly said and the image perfectly illustrates the sentiment.
Wonderful photo and I agree that when I need comfort, I turn to my sisters first – each and every time!
So true! What are we without our families? For many it’s the most comfortable fit – no need to strive to be anything you aren’t. Comfortable.
Exactly! So perfectly said.
What a great photo, providing comfort to each other
Such a beautiful photo to look at, it touches my heart. ♥
A time when comfort is most needed. I agree, family can be a great comfort at any time.
This is so sad but so sweet and how lovely for you all to find such comfort at this sad time.
The caption in this picture truly puts the subjects into context. The decision to make it black and white was a good choice. Sorry for your loss.
Thats beautiful and so meaningful too.
wonderful picture and sentiment. Thanks for sharing.
Comfort when needed. That’s what families are for.
I don’t have a sister. It’s quite difficult to imagine myself in the arms of a sister.
But the photo really portrays the ultimate comfort 🙂
Perfect!
This pic seems to evoke a sense of the soulfulness and depth of comfort that family are able to offer to one another. Thanks for this beautiful share! http://aurelientt.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/weekly-photo-challenge-comfort/
