Peace and gentle hugs to you and your family.
As long as you remember her, she is not gone.

Re: My sister is on life support

"If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars."


My heart and thoughts are with you

Sharrie

Re: My sister is on life support

I don't know any of you
But after reading all the replies, I am crying not only for you, and your sister,
but because I can honestly feel the immeasurable amount of love and prayer being sent your way
Makes me feel a little better about the world.

Re: My sister is on life support

Oh sweetie,
Just reading your post I can feel that old ball of grief that never leaves me, it settles in my gut and on my shoulders. I am so very sorry for your pain, your sorrow, your loss and your grief. I pray you find strength to get through today and all the following days. I pray that you forgive yourself and remember the beautiful bond you have with your sister. Take care. Peace to you and your family. I'll be thinking and praying for you.

Re: My sister is on life support

Hon, I am so sorry for your loss and experience. Having gone through something similar, I can tell you that it is different when the person dying is a family member. All of a sudden, I was no longer a nurse; I was a daughter, a sister, a niece. Believe me when we all tell you that your sister understood and loves you still. Be gentle to yourself. My thoughts are with you.
