Beneat the ancient apricot,beside the yellow heirloom rose,I laid my little sister sweet,into eternal hushed repose.And in this secret place I made,the grave was known to me alone.To keep her from those shadowed eyes,those wolves that took her from her home.In fading light,just her and I,here in this place where we had grown.Just her and I,one on each side,and now just waiting all alone.

 I'm kylie this is all new to me, my sister passed away 3weeks ago.I still don't believe that this has happened,she wasn't sick it was due to a lack of medical care so the shock & loss i feel is so extreme i am totally lost in how i feel ..My sister was only 23yrs old,the saddness i feel is so extreme i really am scared to think i will have to feel this pain for the rest of my life..People tell me you have your memories & tell me your sister wouldn't want you to give up, but i feel i have lost a piece of myself & i will never have that back ever & all i want is her back.. i love her so much & i don't know how i will live without her..

I lost my sister less than 30 days ago. So many people do not understand what it is like to lose a sibling. She always said she would never live to see 50 and she died on August 17, 2011 a month before her 50th birthday. To make it even worse I am Jewish and this Saturday ends the first month of mourning which is a big thing. My sister's name was Sharon and I was the baby sister but always took care of her. Even though I live in Israel and she was in the US for the last 9 years our bond was so strong. So many times she was supposed to move in with me. She developed ARDS in 2009 note she was an extremely bad asthmatic and it was amazing she survived the ARDS. (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.) The last 8 months she suffered on and off ventilation never home. She was divorced no children. She said to me on the Saturday before she died "Why did you fly in" I told her that she was my sister and I would always be there for her. She then said you know "I may not die but if do dont stop it. She just gave up she could not fight it anymore. I wear something of her everyday a piece of jewelry use her eye glass case. My sister loved to collect pigs cookie jars ceramic whatever I now have pigs all over my house. I miss her so much. She is never going to be around to see my kids grow up or be old with me. I feel like a piece of my hear died.

Hi Barbara,

I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my younger sister last July 7, 2010, she died suddenly in her sleep.  She had been going to the doctor for two months complaining about shortness of breath, they sent her for a few test everything came up ok.  A week before she died she went to the office and insisted on a stress test, they schedule it for July 7, 2010 at 11:00 am, she was found dead in the morning.  She left two young children 9 and 10, I was so broken hearted.  The shock of it was so overwhelming I was in a fog for that whole month going over and over it in my head, wishing it was a dream every morning I woke up.  She was my best friend, I cried every day and night for at least 4 months, to this day I find myself reduced to tears often. I found writing a letter to her helped me with my goodbye's and any other regrets I was carrying.  I also started a memorial page online Catholic Memorials and I visit it often.  I know I will never get over losing her, however I must get through it.  I believe I will see her again and that gives me a little hope.  I also did a lot of reading on the grief process, what to expect even though it is not my first significant loss, I loss my mom and day in the last 8 years but this was so different.  They both were sick and in some way you expect to bury your parents, but your younger sibling in the prime of her life was very devastating. Your loss is very new and also unexpected, try to share your feelings with someone who will understand, if that is not possible journal your feelings it really does help alot.  I will keep you in my prayers, hope I helped you a little.

God Bless,

Denise

Elena and Teresa my heart goes out to both of you, July 31st was the 1 year anniversary of my sisters passing. She was 27 years old and had a 3 year old little girl that my mom is raising. Losing a sister is like losing a part of yourself, and you aren't sure what to fill that part with. I am sad that other people have to join this group that no one wants to be a part of, but it is great to have support. Lots of Love to everyone shedding tears today.

I googled on "losing your sister" and found this site and I'm glad.  I was thinking, people seem to comprehend when you lose a spouse or a child or even a parent, but not a sibling. But darn it all, it's a big deal to lose your sister :-(  A HUGE deal.

 

I was very close to my sister and we are both single, never married, no kids, and we are all we had.  And now I don't have her, any more... not in this life. 

 

And I haven't figured out what to do, knowing that.  My Sundays are quiet, now... no phone calls from Val.  When I have something scary or fun or exciting or stressful to tell her about... she's not there. When I see something I want to buy for her... I can't.

 

It's harder now than when I first lost her a month ago and I realize that's how it goes.  It'll be harder at the holidays and birthdays, too.  I just wanted to say it out loud somewhere.

 

Thanks for being here.

Finally I found a group where I can share my thoughts about losing a sister, I can't really explain to anyone how PAINFUL it is to have lost my sister whom I also consider my best friend.I miss her every single day I'm living now. :( She died last July 17, 2011, she's just 29 yrs old. she left us with a beautiful 6 month-old baby girl. The only thing in mind that consoles me right now, is that, she is free of pain. she's with our creator and we have now a gorgeous angel looking after us especially to my pretty niece.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
