I'm so sorry for your loss. But her spirit is still with you. I lost my only child 15months ago and it is crushing grief. Try to have faith that you will one day be with your sister again and give all the love you can to your kids. Maybe do a garden in her honor or something to celebrate her life. Hugs to you

I know how you feel I'm also a stay @ home mom and I lost my father to cancer 4 months ago & it still feels like yesterday. It's hard to get out and do stuff, you just feel like you want to stay home and not do anything. Nothing feels the same anymore. I ask myself Why didn't I talk to him more or visit more often, what could I have done differently at least 10 times a day. But I know deep down that nothing can change what happened no matter how much I wish. What has been helping me is writing down memories I have of me & my father it helps bring some good back into my life, there is plenty of tears throughout but it has really helped me a lot. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Look at the stars and see your sister there and talk it may help.

So sorry for the loss of your sister.i pray you have found some comfort since your post. Life deals some very difficult blows. My mom passed away suddenly and due to her final wishes my sister and I no longer speak so it's like I lost 2. It struck me that you said you wished you would have appreciated her more. I'm sure you did but sometimes as my husband says were only human. I feel guilt about my mom too and although my sister is very cruel to me I still regret losing her. My niece had drug problems and it can be devastating. I know it hurts and I pray you will find some joy. I too don't have many friends although I could but since I moved many years ago I don't reach out much and now that my mom has been gone 2 years I'm still sad. Blessings!!
