..so sorry to hear about your sister...no doubt this wilol be a difficult holiday season for you.....try to reflect on all the good times and happiness you shared with her.....God bless you.i know this won't be easy.....

Holidays are just plain hard. It has helped me to journal the good memories to reflect on a person's life. I hope you get through okay and don't be afraid to speak her name and share memories with people you are with during this time. I am so very glad that you had this relationship with your sister. That is pretty cool.

I feel for you and am truly sorry for your loss. Try to be with other family members you are close to.

I can definitely understand the panic you feel about this holiday season. I, myself, lost my mother in August and my aunt in October. I know this year will be so hard for me. I don't know what I'll do this year yet. My mother and aunt were the center of my family and now they're gone.

I'm planning on getting carnations and putting them on my mom's grave to let her know I love and miss her. That's my plan for Xmas day. Xmas eve we all congregate at my dad's house for gift opening. It's always been that way so both parents could have a full day with us kids.

Just think of your sister as being there with you in spirit. I have to do that. Remember she loves you and would not want you to disregard the holidays in exchange for the sadness you feel. Remember how much she loved you and go with that. You have time to grieve later.

So sorry to hear this, I have a hard time with holidays since I lost my dad, it takes time for this to hurt less, I mean it isn't like you stop missing those we love that have passed away, but in time something happens I think it is acceptance sinks in our heads and the mind processes (sp?) and helps us get by or through our days of sadness.
I wish I could offer some comfort, the best I can do right now is to let you know we are here for you, so feel free to hang around and talk. . . we all care

((((((((((((( for you ))))))))))

Sincerely,

DE

Thanks, but I think you may have clicked me instead of the original poster.
Whatever, we both send our deepest thoughts to her/him, hope comfort can come soon.

Sincerely,
