One of ours has a great sadness

[Jackie]

Please accept my condolences. There is nothing harder than losing a sibling, except perhaps losing a child.

We expect our parents to go before us. But our siblings are involved in our daily lives for so many years in so many ways, we can't imagine the world without them. They are so much a part of our identity.

I lost my sister in July. We were best friends and sisters. She was only 52. They found stage 4 cancer. She died after only 6 days. It was so hard. She was on a respirator and couldn't talk but was very much conscious and aware.

There are really no words to help. I hope only that someday I will meet her again in a better world. It's hard to believe but I sure hope so.

My heart goes out to you.

Sadly,
Jackie
