My youngest sister died 18 months ago, very suddenly. We couldn’t get in touch with her so went to her house. She had died and was on her own. I feel so guilty and heartbroken that she died alone and this sadness and guilt is getting worse as time goes on. I am the oldest sister 73, and she was the youngest 58 and our Mum had asked me to look after her. She always said she would hate to be on her own at the time of her death so feel I have really let her down. …….and as time goes on this feeling is getting worse.

I hear your grief and how you acknowledge and wish for the best for your loved one. Sending a cuppa tea and an echo for your call.

I’m so sorry, but if someone has chosen to live on their own it’s impossible to track them 24/7. I was away for two nights and came home to find my partner dead. We’d been together for almost 40 years. I was sorting out a flat for a relative. I wish I hadn’t gone now. It’s unlikely I could have prevented his death but I still feel so guilty about not being there for him. Guilt complicates the grieving process I ve been told I should be kinder to myself. I’m 4 months down now, miss him so much.

I never had a sibling. How important and beautiful for you. I wanted a sister. You called and I heard. Beauty to you in this time
