At 37 years old, I never thought I would have to bury my younger sister. I've been through what I thought were difficult times, school, break-ups, job loss, head-on collision, and post-traumatic stress but nothing comes close to the pain I feel in my heart and mind over seeing my sister on machines to keep her alive, in a casket, and lowering a casket with her body into the ground. Above all, the helplessness of seeing my parents and her young son weep in despair.

This has made me question, my purpose on this earth...the need to serve has been multiplied, so just the idea of working just to be working doesnt make sense to me anymore!! God provides, so i'm waiting for a sign :)

There will forever be a hole in yout heart and at times a physical feeling that your heart is truly breaking. My brother died last year after an illness in the hospital and had to be taken off life support. I don't know the relationship you had/have with your sister but I do know and have felt what you're feeling now. While you are trying to be there for your parents and nephew, remember to take time for yourself. You have lost your sister and that is a very special bond and you are entitled to mourn her. You are at the beginning of a long journey there will be dark times but there will also be joyous times when you remember the time you have spent together. I wish you and your family didn't have to go through this but know there are people here who really,really know what you are going through. Again I'm so sorry for your loss.
