Death in the family Support Group

My younger sister passed on Nov 19, 08. She turned 48 while on life support (for 4 wks). I still cry every day and I can't help thinking that I need to hug her one more time...smell her hair one more time...tell her I love her one more time and eat goodies together one more time. Long lost cousins have come out of the woodwork lately and are also e-mailing me and my other sister and putting comments in the 'guest book' as well. The only problem is that those cousins (the 4 of them) bring back horrible memories for me and my sister. We lived in their home as foster children. It was like a horror story...with the abusive and everything. They talk now like nothing ever happened and what good memories they have of us 3 sisters. Bulldinky to that. We finally had to tell them to stop communicating with us but we didn't say why. It is amazing what kind of weird things happens after a person passes. Thanks for listening.

Weird indeed. I'm sure since you went through so much trauma together, you were extremely close to both you sisters and relied on each other for a lot. I keep trying to tell myself to be glad that their suffering is passed, and that I can be strong, for them. Not so easy though.

Hugs! Sara
