Not one person has ever spoken about it on my sister’s anniversaries or birthdays…or ever. i’ve never done anything to ’commemorate’ because i’m not sure what to do, alone, without a grave.

Sibling Grief 5 months agoStill – little things still get to me, somehow i can’t let go. Spent the day with a friend and her sister yesterday. They are ‘complete’ as opposed to me and mine, if you know what i mean. To make matter worse, they kept talking about how they are sisters and how close they are and all i can think is what the hell did i do wrong? Why is mine…[Read more]

In reply to: Nikki posted an update: I was talking to a friend today and she asked me why I sounded so flat/down. I mentioned it may have something to do with my brother. She replied, ’Oh I have not though to ask you about […] Viewi think you’re right that maybe if you haven’t been through a loss yourself that you might not think to realise that it would affect you for the rest of your life.

Dear flutterby,
I know dreams can be absolutely horrible. My heart and prayers are with you. If you want, let me know when your Sister passed away. I understand all too well that you only wrote what you did.
