Comment by Elizabeth Welch on April 9, 2012 at 10:06am Hi Sherry my name is Libby I lost my Sister in a car wreck. also my sister in law to Cancer. I have lost many people in my life and have too much experience with grief. Please know that your not alone there are others who are going through the same thing, It sounds like you do not have as much experience in Losing someone if I could offer a few words of advice you said you fight back the tears in order to be strong someone you loved has died you were strong for her when she was here sherry it's ok not to be strong now you need to feel your pain the longer you avoid it the longer it takes to work through it, please allow your selves to feel what you feel don't think you should feel any certan way just know your grief is very personal it is yours and no one else's and how ever you feel is fine. One thing I have definetly learned from too many losses is how personel each person's life and death is, please try not to feel like you are partly responsible for her loss like you could have done more her journey in this life was her own she wanted you to be a part of that and it sounds like you had a wonderful friendship. I truly believe that we all come here to experience those things we wish to and when we have our time is done.I am sorry for your loss and hope the memory of having what sounds like such a true friend in your life comforts you through this difficult time.
Comment by Sherry Hensley on April 8, 2012 at 12:49pm I just recently lost my sister in law who was more like a sister and best fried to cancer. We where extremely close. She had a very rare form of cancer that was very aggressive. I miss her so much. There is like a major void in my life.It feels like a piece of my heart has been ripped out. We talked on the phone almost everyday for 5 yrs. She passed away March 10th of this year. It has sent me into a major depression and I am not eating right. I am really restless to where I am almost agitated. I miss her so much. Sometimes it is so hard to believe that she is gone. my husband and I tried to do everything that we could to help her and it just didn't work. I just dont know how to cope right now. I do the best I can. I love to do photography so I have been working on that some. But I am hurting so much and the pain is just to great at time. There are times that I want to cry but I fight back the tears because I am trying to stay strong and not fall apart.
Comment by Felicia Azut on February 19, 2012 at 3:44am Hi Felicia here last time I commented was a month after my sister died. It has now been a little over 6 months and I feel like I am running on a tredmill to get away from feelings of pain. I am at work I have pictures of her I watch her video and think of her all the time. So hard because my husband lost his mother and father last year as well. I feel so alone in my grief. I have no other siblings. My husband has 6 my sister had no children I have two. Mimi I want to tell you I close my eyes and try to hear her voice. It is so hard to be with out them. I understand your grief. I feel very selfish running run not spending as much time as I can should with my family. I miss her so much her memorial is in August I am Jewish so we have a memorial after a year. I feel the loss when I speak to my parents. My mother has lost so much it is a hurt so deep to see yhour parents lose a child.

Comment by nadia on February 16, 2012 at 2:51pm Mimi I read your words and they echo my life now without my wonderful sister...I lost my bestest part of me my soulmate....it is coming to 9 months and still same....I turned to faith first but now for some reason I can't get any solace there - I cannot pray no more.. I feel I do not want anything to do with god....I hope there is a place after we all leave as I am so desperate to be with her but deep down I am not a believer... I just want to have more life with her...it is a selfish though rather than a real faith...so no comfort really...
if not for my kids I would like to sleep for ever and go....I desperately miss her so much...still every day every minute... I feel her loss everywhere I go and look...
Today I sit at work, trying not to think so much about my sister. But it's very hard. Who known or who thinks something like this could happen. I hear her voice everyday in my head, trying not to forget it and her big loud crazy laugh:) LOL. I don't know how to put into words how close we were. We are the only family we have. I think now what am I going to do now. I blame myself sometimes, thinking if I called her that night she could still be here. we talked everyday. Asking myself why she didn't fight harder to stay with me. She knew were all we had, was eachother, now what. I just want to hold her and tell her I love her more than anything in the world and she is the best sister I could ever have. Hoping she knows how much I adored her from birth. I prayed for a sister for a long time, at first all i had was brothers. Than she finally came. Best day of my life. Sometimes i feel like I am drowning and I think to myself honsetly if I didn't have my kids I would leave this earth and be with her. But I have my kids to think about and have to stay for.This week on sunday 02/19/12 at 8:30pm she will have been gone for 1mth. 1mth since I heard her voice and it just means more and more time will past with out her. I think is still possible, could this be really true. I't can't she will call and tell it was the worst joke she could ever play on me. But nothing happens. I can't put into words how much i miss her, need her or love her. Jackie is my baby, not only is she my sister, she is like my baby. I raised her when our mother left her. So I lost my baby and sister. My stomach is in knots. Jackie I want you to come back. But you haven't, the phone hasn't rung and you are on the other end. Love you always and forever.
Comment by Lisa S. on February 11, 2012 at 3:20pm thankyou denice.I'm so glad I found this group.a place where I can express my loss,and hopefully help to comfort others who are also hurting.take care:)
Comment by Lisa S. on February 11, 2012 at 1:28am 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.
Comment by kylie anne on October 12, 2011 at 7:19am 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..
