Loss of a sister

[Lisa Jane]

I'm new to all of this and I hope I am at the right place. I lost my sister 1year and 9 months ago.  It still seems like yesterday.  She fought Leukemia  (AML) for almost  3 long years.  She was such a fighter and one tough lady. She was only 51 when she pasted away.
She  was not only my sister but my very best friend.  We were  1 1/2 years apart, I'm the baby and she was next to me and we have three older brothers.  We grew up together and were alway so close.  We thought alike and it felt as we were twins.
We were alway doing things together, exercising, talking, laughing we never failed to laugh when we were together.
Since she is gone I have no desire to exercise or laugh or do any of the things that we did together.
 She left a husband and two grown sons and two grandchildren that she adored.

Welcome to our grief web.  I know you will find lots of support and comfort here.
I hope you get a chance to read some of the posts to see that we are all pretty much feeling the same as you.  So that makes our understanding of what you express...hit home.

When you loose someone close as you did, time takes on no boundaries.  Even tho the calendar pages turn, our hearts are in a slower mend.  You are right, it does take your desires of things we once enjoyed..be it exercise..laughing...our those things, like you said, that you enjoyed together.  It was the fact you got to do it with them that made it so enjoyable.

I am so sorry that you lost your sister, your best friend.  I lost my best friend just over a year ago..and life seemed of lost some of it color since.  Please post again, and often...tell us about her..share her with us.  We all do that here...we keep their memory alive because we loved them so.
