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.
