Oh dear I feel for you. So quickly and no time at all to process anything. Sending you love
Hello & thank you for your support ..I’m still struggling & I can’t come to terms with it all , I will never ever understand ‘why’ & I don’t think I ever will …we laid my dear sisters ashes down in the churchyard where my brother in law wishes to be with her when he dies ..so sad & unbelievably upsetting , I cannot get my head around any of it all ! She should be here , she had just retired with so many plans for the future , how on earth can life be so cruel

Hi Paula , I have just lost my younger sister three weeks ago from Pancreatic cancer. We lived next door to each other, helped each other bring up our children and worked the same job. She was diagnosed in January and had a long illness and I gave up work and nursed her at home. Now I’m lost. Missing her and wondering what I’m going to do with all the extra time I have living in a remote area.
Hello, I’m so very sorry for your loss & I feel your pain …my sister was very dear to me & losing her in July this year has had affected me badly , with Xmas coming up I’m going to struggle…my sweet grandchildren are a blessing to me & keep me going , I am grateful to have them ..at times , I believe that my sister would want me to be more positive, so I try to be strong for her although it’s not easy …take each day as it comes , take things slowly and remember, grief takes time xx
Summer 2024. 2 days before the birthday of my niece. It was her first birthday. I found my sister dead in her home. My niece was still sleeping. Her partner called me and say to rush to the house. I didn’t know why it was almost 2 am. I went to her house and the nightmare began. Since then I dont know nothing. Dont know how to feel cant cry. Her daughter is now with us. I know how you feel. Everything feels so empty. You cant talk to anyone. My sister was everything to me. My best friend my mom my sister my shrink my like EVERYTHING. And now I am lost. I am holding to my religion. But I dont know how to deal with everything anymore
