My sister died just before her birthday. We had shared a room as children until she left home to marry at 20. My whole life I have admired how she was so clever and made such a success of her life. Her only sadness was caused by never being a mother. There is a pain in my chest, like a burn. I can't get through a day without a tear for our bond, which has been severed. As she died 6000 miles away there was no burial service for me to attend. The same with her life celebration party. My life will never be the same again. I have heard that I will be able to deal with the pain in the future. Just not yet it’s all too soon.

My mum just died so I know the burn in your heart. Its so hard - the one thing that held in my head was that she never saw me married and that I don't have any kids. Your sister was successful and good and kind and that's what i know my mum would have been most proud of from me - I know you are proud of your sister and its hard to let go -but remember the good times and smile cos that's what she would have wanted.
