    Miss Me But Let Me Go

    When I come to the end of the road
    And the sun has set for me
    I want no rites in a gloom filled room.
    Why any for a soul set free?

    Miss me a little, but not too long
    And not with your head bowed low.
    Remember the love that we once shared,
    Miss Me But Let Me Go!

    For this is a journey we must all take
    And each must go…[Read more]

    In 2 days my sister will have been gone for 4 months. We just got her COD last week, still makes no sense to me other than the fact that she is gone. People have alienated me, I guess not knowing how to deal with my anger, my hurt. I guess they do not see that they are only helping to make it worse. She was my best friend, my baby sister. Without…[Read more]

    I am so sorry! I know the feelings you are experiencing. I have been there just recently myself. Now that most of her things are gone, I want everything of her I can have back! I grab onto any little thing I can have to remember her. I talk about her all the time. Nothing makes sense and everything hurts! We just finally got her C.O.D. and that…[Read more]

    I know this has not helped me, but it is beautiful and was sent to me by an old friend….

    Merry Christmas From Heaven:

    I still hear the songs
    I still see the lights
    I still feel your love
    … on cold wintry nights.

    I still share your hopes
    and all your cares
    I’ll even remind you
    to please say all your prayers.

    I just want to tell you

    • My sister died Dec 10 2011. I am nit feeling yet. I need to know what to do with her toothbrush that she kept here for the weekends she spent with me. This is unbearable.

    I don’t want anything to do with Christmas this year. My sister has not even been gone 3 months. I feel like my heart will never heal or be the same again!

    I’m having such a hard time today. People are making me so angry. I don’t want anything to do with Christmas this year. My sister has not even been gone 3 months and it’s like almost everyone has moved on and act like she never existed. Her headstone was set, but because she is in our “family” plot my parents ordered their headstones with…[Read more]

    I believe that Shoa, I truly do! Thank you Sarah, the more prayers the better. I am not handling it well. I cannot sleep, I am having problems eating, I am extremely paranoid not knowing what happened that I watch my kids like a hawk. It is horrible!

  • Kristi posted an update 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Everytime I talk to someone anymore they look at me like I am contagious, I have decided to just distance myself from everyone. No one here understands it as they have never been through this devastation I am feeling. It has been a very long 7 weeks since my little sister passed away all alone in a strange home with people who neglected her after…[Read more]

    • I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother 4 months ago and I am still just devastated as are the rest of the people in my family. He was the strong one, the one who was supposed to be here to help his brother and sisters make decisions, the “rock”. Now I seem to just exist. I have heard it gets better (i sure hope so). This will be our…[Read more]

    I just think….what do I do now? She was my only sibling. It’s extremely hard to go from having a sister and a best friend one day to her being GONE in a day & a half. We still had so much to do in life. I don’t understand, I am hurting like there is no tomorrow. I know I have to get myself together, I am married and have 2 kids. I have things…[Read more]

    • Kristi, I’m so sorry for your loss, as well. Although I just posted my first entry, as you know, I’ve been reading many thoughts and feelings from others for a while. You will certainly find support here. We all share a common bond. The loss of a sibling is so awful, but, for some reason, it’s hard for people to understand. Not here. We all…[Read more]

    • Hi Kristi – so sorry for your loss. It is hard for people to understand and one thing you have to try and remember is that this is very fresh for you. It’s only been 7 months since I lost my brother, but when I look back on those first few days, weeks and months, it is a blur and I cannot tell you how I made it through – it is all a blur.

        • Hi Kristi,

          I’m so sorry for your loss. I also lost my only sibling, my older sister, 3 months ago. We were so close, and its been so hard getting through the holidays. I still can’t come to grips with being an only child. My daughter was born just two days before her death, and she never got to meet her. Dealing with a new baby and my…[Read more]
