Cancer took my sister this April 2026. We had lost contact but I tried hard to reunite but failed. I sensed she was ill and regret never having a chance to show her practical support. My grief is much stronger than I thought it would be and comes over me knocking me flat.

Hello @Sapi,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling your grief is much stronger than you thought it would be. I’m so sorry to hear about your sister. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.
