Things will feel impossible right now. Unbearable. You will wonder how you’ll ever survive this impossible grief. But you will. Time doesn’t heel, in my opinion, but you will learn to live with her loss. I still miss my sister terribly, and never a day goes by when I don’t think of her, and there are days when it hits me afresh, and I still can’t believe she’s gone – but I’ve learnt to keep her memory inside me, and live around her loss. Things do get better, but you’ll be grieving terribly right now, and you must give yourself time for that. Take care of yourself xxx<br />Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06919354420843737481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795505206291206148.post-35475445329651081192019-12-05T16:13:43.320-08:002019-12-05T16:13:43.320-08:00Thank you so much for posting this.

Been just chilling in my house can't make myself go anymore. We shared a house so everything she has is here and it such an empty feeling that she is no longer here. They say time heals all wounds as if right now I can't see that happening.

It is incredibly painful to lose a sister that you are close to. Please don’t add guilt that you couldn’t get home in time to your grief. Your sister knew how much you loved her, and you did everything you could. It’s such early days, and you will be struggling – don’t be afraid to cry when you need to, and take care of yourself. Remembering happy times will come with time, and those memories will be your way of keeping her alive. With time, you will learn to cope with her loss, but be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions. Even now, I never go a day without thinking of my sister. Thinking of you.

I live and work in Spain and was on the way to see her in the UK as I knew she had only a few days left. I was hours too late and beat myself up so much about that, but I had spent 3 weeks over the Xmas and New Year period seeing her every single day and went with her to the oncologist appointment before I returned to Spain. We messaged daily several times and I still go to send her a message now until I realise that <br />she has gone. Her death was rapid with such an aggressive cancer that no treatment was given other than palliative and it was a shock to all the family. I miss her so much as her big sister.JanCookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306430838043960367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795505206291206148.post-86862715763939245562018-11-30T01:53:22.087-08:002018-11-30T01:53:22.087-08:00Yes, it's a brilliant idea to write on locatio...Yes, it's a brilliant idea to write on location, Patsy.

Do make the most of the time you still have together, I know it’s so very hard. My sister has been gone for almost ten months, and although I’m not exactly coping I'm learning to live with her loss, although some days it’s still so hard. It’s true what they say, that grief comes in waves, and it sometimes it hits afresh I won't see her again. I still cling to the white feathers I see, believing she’s still there somewhere, looking out for me, and I imagine her telling me I have to be strong – as she always did. Thinking of you at this very difficult time.
