Posted by Sue on 7/23/2007, 9:30 am, in reply to "my sister is really gone..." I found this website by searching for my own answers. I lost my father 4 days ago suddenly. Although he was 74, it is never easy and no one is ever ready to lose someone as part of their life. I am truly sorry for your loss and understand how you feel as it is hard for us as human beings to put things together in our minds, as you probably spoke with or saw your sister shortly before her untimely death as I had just received an email from my father the day before his with pictures he took the week before of my kids on his cell phone. It's hard to make that connection between just having talked to someone and then seeing them with no life. I don't know why I am writing to you as I have no real words of wisdom. I am searching for someone to tell me that my dad is in heaven and that my mom will be fine. It sounds like you are still trying to find anwers yourself. I just wanted to you to know that grief is something I can't explain. It practically takes the life right out of you. I have children and find that they seem to have moved on rather quickly, which young children have the ability to do, but I feel stuck. I find myself sitting and staring at nothing and thinking of everything. I will pray for you and that you find some peace. I know it is hard to go on without your sister, but her child needs you to remind him and teach him about her and her life and how much she meant to you and what a good person she was. He needs your positive influence now. Your sister would want you to take care of him as you are I am sure. Keep talking to people who are going through similar situations. I think it helps when someone says to me "I know what you are going through." It doesn't make it easier, it just helps in a small way. I will say a prayer for you and me that we get through our losses and that one day we will see our loved ones again.
