losing my sister @ her 17th

Philippines
April 20, 2011 9:16am CST
She was brought to the hospital and was confined for a week. She got out so healthy and happy, but after a few days she's brought to the city for the bone marrow check. She lost a lot of blood, vomited a lot of it. Brought to the ICU, got hemorrhagic stroke, and she passed away after three about three days. . . The events turned out so quickly, I can't seem to understand how and why this happened.I still don't know how to cope up, but I have to strengthen myself in GOD. It's the only feasible thing to do now. Losing my lovely sister is so painful. Have you guys lose someone you really love and so dear to you?

i'm sorry to hear that.. you must be going through a lot right now.. though i have not experienced losing an immediate family (fortunately) i can just imagine the pain that you are experiencing.. it is nice to hear that despite all of this, you are trying to be strong.. always remember that God is always here for us.. one thing's for sure, your sister is with Him right now watching over you and the rest of your family..

I lost my dad when I was in High school, and now my sis. The pain is ever more severe, so excruciating, but I have to take heart, God wouldn't give us something that we can't seem to bare. I will keep the faith and continue serving Him.

hi,chuyins123, i am sorry to hear that your beloved sister passed away.but i hope you can be strong and pull through this stage as soon as possible. sometimes we can't accept the reality that happened so dramatically,we don't believe it can happen but it happened just like a dream.i lost my beloved grandmother and she passed away peaceful for cerebral hemorrhagic...i hardly image this can happen and i don't know how to cope up.i cried and brawley old photoes of my grandmother but it makes even more sad because i even haven't a joint picture with her.i am regret so much now everymoment i recall my grandmother i can't help crying...

Yes, you cry because you'd miss the person. But still reality knocks our head that we all would go through such sooner or later though, so we have to move on, go on with life and stay strong. Keep the faith in GOD. :)

I read your other discussion about you going to the airport and how your friends stayed with your mother. I was wondering how it went with your sister. I am so sorry for your loss. When we lose someone this way, it always brings questions and few answers. There is very little that anyone can say to ease the pain and sorrow. I lost my brother in '95 and I can hardly remember any of the things that happened around that event. I do remember family being there for me, some of them coming from across country. But most of all I remember just feeling kind of numb. I am sure that your family and friends are still on hand to lend you support and comfort. God bless you during this sorrowful time.

Thank you for your sympathy and prayers. I know God is always with us and is carrying us through all these misery. God is always faithful. Thanks to God, friends and family who stood still prayerful with us, that we'd be able to go on with life despite the current turning of events. Thanks. God bless you too.

i am so very sorry to hear that your sister passed...I cannot tell you how it hurt my heart even though I only know you through myLot. I do know God is our comfort and time will help you heal. But that won't lessen the pain of today. I pray that God strengthens you during this terrible time...

Yes, I believe that God is a God of comfort. And He wouldn't give us something that we can not bear. This is also the best time to strengthen the bond of our family... God will always be there to carry us if we seem to fall apart because of what happened. thanks to your prayers. God bless you too Ms. Mac.

I'm so sorry about your sister & i certainly know how u feel. I lost my only sister when she was 17 in 1962. She was killed in a car wreck. It was the hardest thing i have ever had to deal with. All i can tell u is that time eases the pain but it's never been gone for me even as long as it has been. U certainly have my sympathy.

I don't know you and I never knew your sister...but this brought tears to my eyes! it seems so unfair that some one so young has to pass away. In my life I have gone through many loses and is never easy and never will be. Please keep strong for you and your family and remember your sister left her print not only on earth but in the universe as well[and in your heart and your life] there for she will live for ever!

Why? What happened? I hope it has nothing to do with any mistake that the hospital did on her. It is so sad to hear that such a young lady should die just like that. How does a bone marrow check go? Is it normal for a person to vomit and lose blood when this procedure is done? It's so scary, you know.

My sincerest condolences friend for the loss of your sister. This has to be really difficult. Definitely continue praying it will strengthen you and your family. I almost a month ago now lost the only one person who although not my biological grandmother was the only one person, outside of my two kids that I could call family. Many blessings to you and your family and may your sister live fondly in all your hearts eternally.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister. It's very painful to lose someone that you love and care for so much. I lost my Mom four years ago and my Dad two years ago. I always think of them often because I never want to forget them. Always keep your sister in your memory and think of all the happy times that you had with her. Those happy moments are the best times to be cherished always.

I lost my father 10 years back. My father used to take care of all our needs and he loves every one. He used to keep all of our family members always happy. It is very sad thing losing our dear ones.

It is not that easy to accept the reality, that you've lost someone so dear to you. And yes, the pain is so excruciating and seemingly unbearable. But then again, reality sinks in and says we have to move on. Life must go on, we all have to go through it anyway.

Prayers would do. They'd help our family a lot to get through this and move on. Life must go on no matter how much shaking and how great a storm will come in our lives.

Hi Ghuyins, I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. Your sister was far too young for something like this to happen. Did they offer any explanation as to what brought this all on? I remember losing my dad unexpectedly about 25 yrs ago. Believe it or not, over time the pain of the loss does ease up. Not a day goes by when I don't think of him. I have so many fond memories for which I am so grateful for as I'm sure you do of your sister. I hope you can find some comfort in family and close friends who knew your sister and can share your grief.

I lost my sister at the age of 6 months due to meningitis. My parent were both devastated because of what happened especially my father. However, they know for a fact that they still have three other children who depend on them so they have to be strong. Way back then, I still don't know what's going on. I was just a toddler when it happened. I was just wondering why people are crying and what's their problem. I can't understand the events. Condolences to you and your family...

Hi chyins, Deepest condolenses on your loss. I can understand your pain. But have hope that she is always with you. She would have suffered more with her disease, so she has taken a rest on her life. Please believe its for her good and never think she is not with you and family. Physical demise is common, but memories can never taken away. God bless you with more strength.

Yes, i was thinking that she rested from the pain she's been suffering. She mentioned in her text messages for me that she keeps feeling pain, and she can't understand why she kept feeling like she'd faint.... Maybe then she was in great pain, but was concealing such to us... just for us not to worry about her..

Her soul rested in peace of God's arms. She was already saved, because she prayed immediately before she'd been comatose... We lift her up to God and pray for more strength for the family who's left behind...
