A Very Sad Day

      Hello Everyone

      Yesterday, November 3, 2007, I received a phone call from the police dept.
      asking me my name…the officer kept saying, “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry…
      I said what’s wrong…he kept saying “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry”, then I
      realized, my sister died. A neighbor found her in the bathroom…I’m so
      scared, she was my rock. I don’t know how I’m going to make it…

      She had lung cancer, on oxygen tanks, but it got worse. I talked to her
      Friday night, that was the last time.

      I’m all alone now, there’s no one else…I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I just cry all
      day. I have to get an attorney to settle her affairs.

      The tears won’t stop, she died alone…I really want to go with her. I had to
      get a neighbor to drive me to her house to identify her body. I give up, I
      can’t do this anymore..,it’s too much…

      God forgive me

      You can continue. You are strong. Please immediately call someone close to you–a friend or neighbor and ask if they can stay with you for a while because you are so sad. If not, then stay on line and talk to the people here who care about you. If you really cannot see living, call a suicide hotline and talk with someone. Listen, what helps all of us is that there are people that care. They may be by our side or only by our side in heart. Your sister would want you to know that she is and always will be by your side in heart.

      With Hope.

      Hello Miami Girl,
      Just hold onto us, your family here, you’re not alone. I lost my sister eleven years ago, she died suddenly from an embolism one week after my birthday. I understand what your loss is doing to you. I will email you very soon to talk, maybe a phone call will help you so that you know someone cares.

      Miami Girl, Love is the greatest emotion and it is not broken by death. Love is greater than that. The love you shared with your sister is still there and will help you and give comfort to you. The love you share with this family will also help sustain you though the times are difficult. One of the tiny things that having this illness teaches us is that we can get through hard times. It is a lesson we rather have not had to learn, but there is strength in all of us that keeps us and sustains us despite these hard times. We go on and you can. You have. Live to tell of the love that sisters share to those around you who appreciate the love-lessons you have learned in life and share with us.

      With Hope

      I really don’t know what to say, except that I am sorry, so very sorry… You menioned that your sister was your rock; have you ever considered that you just might be someone else’s rock? If you can’t think of someone there right off-hand, then maybe there have been people here on this forum who have leaned on you at one time or another, now it is your turn to lean on us. I have days also where it seems just sooo hard to go on, but then I realize, disabled or not, I am still the matriarch of this family. We are all needed for one reason or another, we might not know what it is, when we are in so much grief. I will say a prayer for your sister tonight, but even more for you, that you can get through this very difficult time in your life.
      Blessings, Pam
      I know that a lot of people view internet forums & chats as somewhere people can go anonymously & try to pretend to be someone they are not, but this forum is not like that. I think we all speak from the heart when we post our concerns for others. If you ever need someone to talk to, just shoot me an email & I will call you. I care, I really do…

      Miami Girl,
      My heart goes out to you. I am still grieving the loss of my sister as well. There are days when I still wonder why does it have to be this way….she was such a good person. God knows who he wants close to him and when he decides; its not up to us to question why but we must learn to accept and be grateful for the time we had with them. I am always recalling things my sister said to me or noticing the influence she had on her children that now comes thru. It gives me comfort to have all the memories that make her even more special in my heart. I know its not easy now to accept, but she is at peace and watching over you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

      Hi Miami Girl,
      I am sooooo sorry about your sister. I have always felt your mutual love for each other reading your previous posts. Please know many people are praying for you and hope you will get through this difficult time. They always say God only gives us what we can handle and sometimes I have to wonder why some of us have more on our plates than others. I know that you along with many others on this forum have inspired me when I’ve been down, so please stay with us and come here when you need a comforting ear. No one will ever replace her…but she will always be with you in your heart.

      Take Care,

      Joyce
