It's good that it doesn't hurt as much anymore. I never had a sister, only a brother. Wished I had one many times, though.

Well Passionflower, maybe now is the time to honor her memory by

writing about her. It may make her feel closer! It is so sad..I don't know what I would do without my sister!

You're so right about those things, ShadowPen...

We carry their memories inside us along with genetic information that we continue to pass on thru our offspring. It's kind of neat how that works.

I know that dying is a part of our life cycle too and accept that.

Actually, I've never written much about her RckyMtn...

It hurt me too much at the time to even speak of it, then later on I just didn't want to stir up any painful memories.

So I'm honestly thankful to know that I can write about her and remember her and it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm not even mad at her anymore for leaving me alone to figure this life out by myself.

Hi Passionflower....I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that

my pic stirred up all the memories of your sister.  After twenty years I hope you were able to think of the wonderful soul she was and not feel the pain of losing her. And you are absolutely correct...this is the worst part of living...losing those we love.  God Bless her soul!

Passion - You have such fond memories of Laqueta Ann..

As I have of my two elder brothers & eldest sister who have all passed on. I thank God for having given me such wonderful family and the moments I spent with them because they were my help & inspiration for who I am today. They live in me..and as such...my life is also their life...which I treasure. Hang in there Passion. The fact that you are writing in her memory is testament that she is living in you also.

I think so too TAPS...

We all have people like that in our lives...I always think of Wiley and how much he still misses Joyce even after 6 years.

God bless, Passionate One

It's not life that sucks, it's when life is taken away.  Laqueta Ann, I believe, is part of you.  I think loved ones stay with us.

Yes I have. I think God deigned that you become tottering old. haha

Don't get at me.

Thanks for sharing about your brother Bhaskar...

We do often have these conflicting emotions that we don't understand when our loved ones pass on. I've wondered why I survived and my siblings didn't. They all died at relatively young ages. And yet I'm still here.

Some of that stuff we never figure out...we just accept it and move on. I hope you've done that too.

Passionflower

Today you excel excellence in bringing out some exquisitely subtle feelings for a sibling. My half-brother, was my real brother - his mother, my father's elder sister, died when he was a year old, and my parents brought him up - died of an air crash while in training in the Air Force. I too just got into the Forces when he died, and my mother never let me join, fearing a similar fate for me in store, as she saw then. He inspired and shaped me in a way no other has ever done. But, somehow, I could not forgive him for dying though I loved him so, because it left a permanent void in my life's biggest ambition that he was responsible for my not being able to join the Air Force.

Thanks Troosha...your poem was very inspirational and moving.

We all know that feeling, don't we? Like I said, It Sucks!

It’s tough when we loose someone who means so much to us (as expressed yesterday in my poem about my Dad). Your sisters sound like a wonderful woman and I’m sorry her life was a difficult one. There is never any answer to the question “why” and I think that’s why loved ones left behind find it so difficult to come to terms with the loss – the hole in our heart.

Sorry to hear about your sis, Ariel...

I have of course overcome the grief of losing my sis-just thinking about her alot lately.

Not really much that one can say, is there. Strikes a chord with me, as you can imagine ; with my younger sister's life so soon to end.

If you're looking for justice, you're in the wrong world, amiga.

be well. Overcome sadness.
