Missing my Sister

I lost my youngest sister to brain cancer on July 8. I managed to stay strong for her and her young daughters while helping to care for her at hospice at home. But now my heart is breaking with such sadness and sense of loss. She was only 44 and because of our age difference, I've always thought of her as my baby. I'm having trouble sleeping and when I do manage to sleep I wake up crying knowing that it was not a nightmare. She is gone. I love her so much and miss her terribly. It was so difficult to watch her health deteriorate. But I made a promise to myself that I would be there for her, taking care of her as I did when she was a baby. For this I am grateful that God gave me the strength to do this while my heart was breaking.

You are the sister everyone dreams of having. What a blessing you were to her.  She is in heaven now no pain no tears.  You did a wonderful awesome job and you should be so proud of yourself because I am sure god is.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

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
