Haven’t spoken to someone for a long time… feels like I’ve lost a part of me… I’ve lost a best friend 
So sorry for your loss. I see you lost your sister over in the US. Have you been able to visit much or connect with family over there for support? It just be really hard when there’s distance on top of grief. This forum is great though for having people to speak to and share how you’re feeling wherever you are.
This forum is fantastic for that and was so supportive in the weeks after she passed in May. I didn’t and still don’t have a relationship with that side of my family, and until this day, no one has actually told me that my sister has even passed away!! I heard it through my 96 year old gran who was told in an email!!
I’m sorry to hear that. The family estrangement must make it even harder. They can’t take away your unique memories of your sister though and the bond you shared. Was she older or younger than you?
She was my half sister. Easy way to say it is that I had a very old father when I was born. He was 63 when he had me, and passed away 10 years ago at the ripe old age of 91. He had 2 daughters with his first wife after serving in the army during World War 2. Therefore my half sisters were 40 years older than me. My sister who passed was 80. A very unique and very magical family in many ways.
Oh wow, what a brilliant family tree! It must have been special to have a half sister that much older than you and almost like another parent figure. Keep reminiscing and those memories alive.
