: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

I am so sorry for you and your family. Losing a dear sister is very difficult, this I know and have been through myself. I was unable to be at her bedside when she passed, but she was surrounded by others who loved her. My very deepest sympathy to you, your brother-in-law, and both your extended families. My most sincere thoughts are with you all during this terrible time. Bless all of you and your dear sister.
I am so very sorry. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It can be hard to be a nurse and then go through something like this. I think your sister knows that you love her dearly and always will.
My deepest sympathies to you, we lost someone very suddenly just recently and I know that it is so hard for the loved ones, my prayers for you and sister's family.
