Loss

 When her last surviving sister died, Helen was left alone, the last member of her generation. Two generations were gone;  she had no one left: parents, aunts and uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters, all gone before her.  All the important people in her life had left her, and she took her latest loss hard.   Call it grief, or mourning, or by whatever name, but she called it "that all-gone feeling."
