in memory of my sister
in memory of my sister My lovely sister,lynn, died one year ago today-aged 44,and i would like to use this forum to pay a tribute to her.she was so brave and such a kind caring person and i miss her more everyday.i once posted on here to say i couldnt live without her but i would like to say that i have got through this first painful year and although it has been the hardest thing to cope with ,I have managed to live without her.I feel she is all around me-and in my heart and instead of crying today i have tried to remember all the happiness she brought in to my life and all her family.my parents are so heartbroken and still in pieces about it.it will never get better for them as they are old and in their 70s now,but for me i feel stronger each day and from today i have decided-no more sobbing no more sadness.i want to keep her alive in my heart but not as the poor ill little thing she was when she died.i want her to live in my heart as the happy,vibrant beautiful person she was.all you lovely kind people out there please share this tribute with me-to my wonderful beautiful lynn.missing her so much.
Dear Hoopy, I remember your posting here. I too believe I, us here, will all live on in our loved one’s hearts. Lynn will always be with you.

I too remember your posts. I’m glad you can now remember Lynn as the wonderful woman she was…you’re right we are so much more than a cancer patient. It gives me comfort to hear you are coping well, I think we all want our families to remember the good and happy times.
Love Twinkle xoxo
I remember your posts too. I think I promised you then that the day would come when you smiled far more often than you cried when you thought of Lynn, and it will. I’m so glad you are getting there.
Next week it’s four years since my sister died from a rare form of MS. I love to remember her as a child, when she had strong legs that could walk and run, before she became confined to a wheelchair while her body let her down.
As Tagore’s poem says
‘When you live in the hearts of those you love
Remember than - you never die.’
She will always be with you. Thinking of you, your parents and Lynn’s family

I remember… …your posts about your sister. I am sure you have had a very difficult year but it is good to hear how far you have come. I am sure your sister would want you to live your life so - go for it, and enjoy.
It is thoughtful of you to come back to us and share your thoughts and feelings, thankyou.
Take care,
Jenny

I also know there is a time when grief shifts and changes. Anniversaries can be such hard times, but also a time for joyous memory as well as pain.
very best wishes to you and your fmaily.
