:crying2:I am so sad, my sister is dying. don't want advice, just needed to tell someone who would understand. I couldn't make myself go, the nurse part of me knows exactly what they are doing. The sister side of me wants to say, noooooooooo. My wonderful, caring, supportive sister. The one I always went to when things didn't make sence. She hasn't spoken a word in 2 weeks. My heart is breaking. I've helped so many people over the years. Why can't I help her. I couldn't bare to be there when they shut off the vent, when they give her the morphine. Why didn't I have the strength to go hold her hand and tell her it's ok to go. I've done it for patients, why couldn't I do it for her? Sorry if I have babled, my heart is breaking. I am sitting here waiting for my brother in law to call and tell me it's over. I've wanted to tell all of you for a while now, but couldn't make myself type the words. I knew what was coming the first night, after they told me she coded and she was without oxygen for over 5 minutes, I knew what had happened. Thanks for reading, I can't see the keys from the tears. God Bless you all:redpinkhe

OMG,

My sister is my best friend, I cannot imagine losing her. Sisters are the people on this earth who know us the best; it's like losing a part of yourself.

Please accept my most sincere condolences; I've already said a prayer for you, your sister and your entire family. You'll be in my thoughts.

My heart is with you. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose one of my sisters. I was gone from home for years and now that I am back, I'm glad that I have a relationship with them.

My mom may possibly have cancer again, and they think that it was spread to her lymph nodes. If I lose my mom, I don't know what I am going to do.

Please take care. If you need a hug, I'm sending one to you via this email

I'm so sorry for your loss, you're in my thoughts.

(((( Hugs ))))

P.S. I can relate a little, my brother died suddenly at age 41 of a ruptured aortic aneurysm (7/06).
