Feeling like I cannot breathe
My heart aches
I want to cry and wail like a baby
The way she died breaks me
Leaving behind her newborn and loving husband just shatters my heart even more
Life is so cruel almost twisted
Hate to speak of her in the past tense
She is so kind so loving so sweet and thoughtful
Now there’s a massive void in our lives
Not sure if my heart will ever heal

I am sorry for your loss. I also lost my sister recently, I totally get what you say about speaking about her in the past tense. It breaks my heart all over again every time I have to say ‘she was…’
It’s so difficult to put such deep grief into words, but you’ve done a beautiful job of expressing your feelings.
