Missing my sister1

My mother died this time last year, relatively young, 72, thank goodness she didn't know what was gong to happen 6 months later. My gorgeous, beautiful, caring big sister was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer after we'd just finished playing a tennis match and she'd hurt her calve muscle in her right leg. From diagnosis to her leaving us was a very short 4 months. I'm still devastated, not sure how to cope, feel guilty that I wasn't hugging her when she passed, but she was in so much pain she really couldn't be touched, she only allowed me to try to move her. So much more to say, just cant at the moment. I'm hoping someone out there can help me move forward. xxx

  • Hi millie2402,

    I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about the loss of your sister and your mother in a short space of time. Life is so unfair and I really feel for you.

    I am struggling enough to move forward from the sudden death of my mum aged 74 in june.

    She had only been ill for 11 days and I just cant cope with it. For you to lose your sister as well is just awful.

    It has helped me to take one hour at a time and then one day at a time. I have been to four counselling sessions although I'm not sure they are doing anything. I've also tried reading done books on grief as well.

    Are you able to consider any of this? Do you have a support network from friends or family?
