Death of sister

Sad.News Fiona. How I wish I had had a sister to share life? She must have been very special and you will miss her for a very long time. Take care.

So very very sorry for you Fiona. What a devastating loss. I lost my beloved younger sister last June very suddenly and unexpectedly aged just 61.I miss her every single day and will do forever. I have experienced every kind of emotion during the past year. Has it got any better - yes and no. I don't cry all the time but I still cry every day but I also laugh a lot at things I know she would find funny and enjoy. I was due to pick up a new puppy just a couple of days after she died. My sister knew I was going to get him and encouraged me to do so before she died. This little fella has helped me so much this year and has been a great source of comfort and I am sure that somewhere my sister is watching and laughing at his antics. I can imagine her saying 'Oh dear what has my sister let herself in for'. Be kind to yourself and cherish the wonderful memories you have of your sister.

I'm so sorry for your loss of a sister. I to lost my older sister 3 years ago this week and there is never a day goes by when I don't miss her and our daily phone calls. It does get easier but life will never been the same she was like a mum to me she was 21 years older than me so been there all my life .... Big hugs to you FionaC

I am so sirry FionaI lost my beloved baby brither aged 61 recently .It is far worse than losing my parents .
I have no words for you except to say you were fortunate to have kept that loving relationship (as was I)You hear of so many fallings out of siblings on social media .
My main concern is to try and suppport my devastated SIL

The price of love is very high; it is heart breaking when the best and the dearest in your life are taken away. Take comfort in the happy memories Fiona, and always keep close to you the thought that your loved sister would not want to see you unhappy forever - she would no doubt want to see you laugh and enjoy your life - so do it for her as soon as you feel you can.

So sorry. Tears seem to be all you can do at this point. It's quite natural.

I'm so sad for you, Fiona. My two sisters are my best friends so I can empathise with you. Your grief must be immeasurable but you must also have a store of happy memories and one day you will find yourself dwelling more on these than on the loss that is dominating your heart today. ((((hugs))))

Perhaps I can put a different perspective on this. How absolutely wonderful and amazing you had such a marvellous relationship with your sister. This is cause for celebration and wonderful memories for you along with your natural grieving process.

Sadly I have never had such a relationship. You will come through your grief but it takes time. Don't try and rush it. I wish you well.

Thank you for the posts, funnily they are comforting just difficult to read through the tears. Thank you all x

Oh dear how did your loss become your loo

So sorry Fiona being an only child myself I can't imagine your loo. No-one can take away all the happy years you had together and in time all those memories will comfort you.

So sorry to hear your dreadful news, Fiona. Look after yourself.

Fiona I'm so sorry. It's too early yet I know but one day you will be able to remember the good times you had together and the memories you shared.

I lost my younger sister to breast cancer last year. But in truth I lost her long, long before that to alcohol addiction.

Oh Fiona that is very sad news my sincere condolences on your loss.

That is such sad news Fiona, such a hard thing for you to adjust to. I too have a sister and the thought of losing her is unbearable. My heart goes out to you

I am so sorry to hear about your sister.

I don't have a sister and envy you having had such a good relationship with yours. Enjoy your happy memories

That is so sad for you, a big hole left, but hopefully happy memories. Take care of yourself for a little while now.

I'm so sorry, Fiona. I have an older sister too and can only imagine your devastation.

Fiona so sorry for your loss.

Fiona I send every sympathy to you. My younger sister died 25 years ago at the age of 45. I still miss her.

Remember the good times, but also all the things in her that drove you mad. My youngest sister and I often reminisce, happily, about the quirks in our sister's personality that drove us wild; the messages never delivered, how she was always late, but also her thoughtfulness, daintiness, and love of all her family.

So very sorry about your sister . I can`t imagine life without mine , she is my best friend so imagine you are devastated as I would be . I hope you have people around you for support at this very sad time xxxxx

I never had a sister, but my best friend, who was just like a sister to me, died very suddenly.
I miss having someone I can share my thoughts with who would never speak about them to anyone else and who always had a sensible answer to a problem.

Try to remember the good times, my BF still speaks to me in my head when I have a problem

I am so sorry for your loss Fiona, it is very early days for you but I hope you can find some comfort from reading our stories.
My brother died 10 years ago next month, I think of him everyday, but as others have said I remember happy and funny times too and love talking about him. He was a great story teller and the fount of all knowledge.

So very sorry for your loss
