[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:42:00 07/28/09 Tue I just need to ramble I'm so sad I lost my only brother on June 19,2009 he had cancer and many recent complications. He over came all the hurtles once and I figure he do it again but it wasnt so. I feel there was still so much for us to do, say and experience. I wonder why life is so unfair he was a good person with a great heart. I miss him and feel guilty I didnt visit enough call enough. I know life must go on but I have this piece missing! :( [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Date Posted: 19:57:05 09/02/09 Wed I came across this amazing site today on the anniversary of my sister's passing. It is now 16 years and it sometimes feels like yesterday and other days I can't even remember her voice anymore. She was my younger sister and my only sibling. She was 29 at the time and I was 31.She had Hodgkins disease Stage III. (cancer) I have spent many years with survivors guilt and it was very hard. I felt as thought I needed to protect and be there for my parents and I have now come to terms with my own life. I realize that it is ok to smile and be happy and that doesn't take away from her death. It doesn't make my love for her any less. I want to enjoy what life has to offer me as I don't know what each day has to bring me. It makes me sad to read all the stories we each have to share but I feel a connection with each of you. For many years I always felt as though my voice wasn't important only the voice of the poor parents who lost their child. Well dam it I do count as well and I lost a very important, significant person in my life as well. I hope we can each come to terms with our loss and realize that we need to enjoy our lives with the time we have left and to also realize that we are the people we are today because of the siblings we had in our lives. I wish everyone a day to smile and try to find the positive side of each day. I am starting to have this in my life and I only want to be around people who have fun and not depressing. It takes too much out of me. I hope we can each give each other strength and try to remember each other's stories as they are so important to us all. SIncerely; Sherry [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Date Posted: 19:19:42 09/07/09 Mon Thanks Peg for your comment.As much as I'm trying to get on with my life it's so hard for y niece. My niece who is almost 21 is really having a hard time. She doesn't remember my sister and she really doesn't have a great relationship with her father. Sometimes she seems so lost. She has quit university after two years and she is still looking for work. I'm reading the book Motherless Daughters to try and see what I can do to help her. It's an amazing book and I really recommend it. Sherry [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
