She was my only sibling and really more like my mother. The tenth anniversary of her death is approaching soon. I really can't share this with anyone except an anonymous forum because her spouse of over 40 years moved on pretty quickly, so did her children. My own family doesn't get it, they are busy in their lives. Friends never did get it. Sis, you were a great lady & cheated out of too many years. I hope you're dancing on tables in Greece, like he never let you do. You were the funniest person I ever knew. You should have been a tax accountant, you were that good. You were incredibly smart & you looked just like Cher. I wear your ring every day. I haven't had a good, belly-hurting laugh since the last time we laughed. You knew all about me & you still loved me. I miss you so much. Love, Your Little Sister, who is now an old lady.
I'm sad for you. I have 2 sisters that truly other than my husband are my best friends. We have lost so many together and gone through much loss. My older sister has heart disease and I tell her everyday, don't die! I need her too much. My younger sister was my nemesis growing up! She is 7 years younger and we don't have the same connection as my older one. I just had a very honest conversation with her about our relationship. Because of our sister's health and the sudden death of our brother I told her that I didn't think our bond could work through our older sister death. We are making an conscious effort to build a stronger relationship. It feels great. We have also lost our parents so we need each other. I get your sadness, take care.

I am sorry you lost your sister, but it does sound as if she was a great person, and you two were lucky to have each other. On the anniversary, can you give yourself that day to to get away, at least for part of the day, and go somewhere and remember happy times you had with your sister? I think you should allow yourself that much. Another idea--write about her. Get a journal just for writing to and/or about your sister.
You know what--the ninth anniversary of my brother's death comes this month. I'm going to take my own advice and do what I just told you to do.
When my brother died, I thought my heart died with him. It helped me to write a poem to and about him. I read it when I need to be close to him. It keeps him close to my heart. Hope this helps you. Just write from the heart. It doesn't have to rymthe, just be real & tell her how you feel.
It has been 20 years but some days it's like yesterday. The good thing is, now I can sometimes laugh and smile at our antics. Oh, we were a pair!
