Sibling loss

I am so very sorry for your loss hulahoop just the thought of loosing my beloved sister is unbearable so I can barely imagine your grief. I hope you have others close by who can comfort you.
Your right though there’s somthing cathartic about writing things down. There’ll always be one of us here to listen/read and respond.

Thanks for your replies we will celebrate Christmas as normal she loved children and would be the first to say enjoy yourselves I agree paddyann as we get older we have to get used to losing people best wishes to all ?

Sorry for your bereavement hulahoop, I lost my brother to a brain tumour a couple of years ago, he was in his early 60s, not that old in this day and age. In spite of having my own children and grandchildren neverthless losing every member of my original family has left me with a sense of loss.

Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear this. Siblings can be so important in life, as they shared so much with you. I saw my sister yesterday for the first time in a very long while and it was very special, so your post really resonated with me. I truly am very sorry for your loss.

Heartfelt wishes

So sad.

Sincere condolences hulahoop

its horrible isn't it I lost my sister on the 19th of December a few years ago ,she was cremated on the 23rd,it was awful especially for mum as Dad had died just months previously .Me ...I walked a lot to clear my head and went to work ,mum had lots of support and a good neighbour who insisted we didn't cry and upset her an as I couldn't guarantee I could stay dry eyed I kept busy .We celebrated Christmas as normal for the kids and the noise and laughter and old stories about my sister really helped mum ..as she told me later.You just have to cope in your own way and if writing it and getting feedback helps you then go for it,We're all of an age where we've lost people and we might be able to help .Be kind to yourself ,and let others be kind

I lost my sister to Ataxia, it is hard watching one you love deteriorate. Maybe a tiny bit of comfort in knowing your sister is no longer suffering?

So sorry to read of your loss hulahoop. What a terribly sad thing to happen so close to Christmas, but I hope you can take comfort from the fact that her death was peaceful and she is no longer suffering with her health. Sincere condolences

Sorry for your loss. No need to apologise for writing it here, whatever helps.

I can’t imagine how you must be feeling but we will all be thinking of you this Christmas.

I am so sorry for your loss hulahoop, hard to bear at any time but especially so now. My adored brother now seems lost to Altzeimers now too. I know how you feel.

My condolences hulahoop.

Its perfectly fine to post it, and I'm so sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter the circumstances, its horribly hard to bear.
