This time of year is difficult for me because my sister passed away shortly after Easter 19 years ago. She had breat cancer and was very sick. She was not able to speak and was pretty much in a comma right before Easter. We weren't sure when she would leave us so we waited on Easter that year. At the last minute we decided not to go where our family normally goes and have a rather fast Easter in shifts. My brother inlaws went out and bought all the baskets for our kids the night before. To this day I still have nighmares about not having my children's easter baskets on Easter morning. My sister and I were very close. She was my best friend. We had a large family but she was the oldest and I was the youngest of six kids. She always took care of me and she loved me unconditionally as I loved her. When Easter falls this time of the year it makes me even more emotional because it was this time of year back then. I sometimes think that I get too emotional but I can not control it. Because of this I may start writing a bit more mushy on my posts. I tend to get that way and my friends are used to it*L* I just still really miss my sister and my best friend.

I know where you're coming from, my friend. I would like to send a big ((((HUGGGG)))) to you, for Easter.
Why do I understand? My eldest Grandson passed away, on 27th December, 1996. Yes, two days after Christmas, and he was only seven years old. It tore at my heart and I was angry, to say the least. It takes a lot of getting over, even some eleven odd years later, so I know how you feel.
Try to have a good Easter, remembering all the good times. A tear of three is allowed. But, think of the good times as well, and smile, through the tears. It will help you no end, my friend.
Brightest Blessings, Happy Ostara/Easter, and may you ever be in touch with your sister's spirit. xxxx

I understand what you are feeling right now. If I were in your place it must have been hard. It is indeed terrifying to lose someone so important to us, like we never ever get to see them and to spend times with them. My sister and I are so close as well, when she goes to another place, even for just a week, I already miss her, so it is so sad. Yes, showing your emotions is good, you can write what you feel about missing your sister and all. That will help you a lot in dealing with your emotional pain.

I can totally relate. My mom passed away at Easter 13 years ago. The last time I was with her was to buy Easter treats for our baskets. We kids were all adults but she loved Easter and each year would make us a basket. She passed away just before Easter but we still had baskets that year! You are not alone out there feeling sad at Easter but life goes on...

Tricia hon, you write what ever makes you feel better. We're all here for you and will listen to what ever you want to say. Try to think of things in a better light such as your sister loved you dearly too and I'm sure she didn't want to leave you behind. She'll always be with you in your heart. She's in heaven looking down on you and protecting you every day. Bless your heart hon.

I am very sad for you, I do not have a sister and so I do not know that closeness that exists between siblings. My grandma was my best friend, funny but she always felt like more of a sister than a grandma, she was young at heart, a devil and I could always turn to her and talk to her about anything. She passed away from cancer in 1988 when I was just 15 and I was devastated, I have never really got over it and to this day I miss her terribly and still feel really sad, so I identify with how you are feeling. Take care.
