My sister ❤︎

I lost my sister in April last year to lymphoma cancer. She was only 27 and had years left in her and dreams to accomplish. She has a son that I speak to everyday and make sure I keep her memory alive. She was my best friend and it's always been me and her (lost our mum when we were kids) and I don't speak to my dad. I feel lost empty heartbroken. I'm the older sister so used to mother her and guide her through life. We'd speak in the phone about 3 times a day and see eachother as much as we could (2 hour distance) I was just seeing if there's anyone else that has been through Similar. There's so much to my story but don't want to bore anyone. Never reached out like this before or joined anything like it let alone talked about it. 

  • Sending you big hugs lovely xxx 

    love Lara ️

  • Thankyou means a lot ️ xx 

  • HI Heather,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I feel truly sorry for your loss and understand how bereft this has left you. You might find that you get more replies from people who have had first-hand experience of bereavement,  if you ask one of the  moderators to change the title of your post  to 'Coping with Loss'.

    Having been mother and sister to your sister, must make the burden of grief even harder to bear. Grief takes it's own time to come to terms with. I am glad to hear that you are keeping in close touch with your nephew and are keeping the memories of his mum alive.

    So many of us have been in your situation and I'm sure that you'll soon be glad that you reached out to this forum.

    Please remember that we are always here for you and keep in touch.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi, I lost mine too, it's awful...can I send you a friend request and we can talk on there? I have done many things which have helped me/my family/her friends in some way like getting a named plaque on a bench in a place she loved ( where my parents and her friends can go), getting her friends to write letters to her little boy telling him about her etc....Alison
