My big sister
« on: January 15, 2018, 09:50:47 PM »
Hello

My sister died last week - can't really believe it is true - raging, weeping and numb all at once.

Sending a big hug.  The early days are such a shock.  :hug: xx
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. 
Hold on in there xx

Thank you - much appreciated - sadly I know, my Mum died in 2015 and my Dad last April - barely got through losing them - struggling with the thought of going through this

 :hug:sending you a welcome so many losses in a short space no wonder you are struggling.Sometimes just writing stuff down helps and everyone here understands grief because thats why we all came here -so write tears rants fears whatever you feel -we will be here for you.

Thank you for the hug - because of losing Mum and Dad I kind of know what to expect - but that can be a double edged sword.  There are stages to grief no doubt, but each loss is different.

If I believe one thing it is this, only time makes a difference.  In my experience you don't get over it, you get used to it.

That is so true.  Even though it can feel so slow at times, time does make a difference - makes it easier to cope. Can be so hard when you're in the middle of it, sometimes all we can do is hold on in there.  And thankfully, never be alone somewhere like this forum xx

I agree too -but also that every grief is different -just as every relationship is different. :hug:
