[QUOTE="Shari, post: 135988, member: 1848"] Steely, oh sweetie. Big hugs. Ditto what everyone else has said. I especially want to ditto Beth's post. The year of firsts is so hard, and no one warned me. I lost my dad a year ago suddenly. I expected the first holiday without him to be hard, but no one told me it was the first EVERYTHING that was hard. We got thru them all fine, we dreaded them as they appreached and survived them not too much worse for the wear. Somehow, we even managed to enjoy most of them. The first time a friend lost someone close to them suddenly, tho, I was overcome with it all again. Just heads up. These guys here tell me that's normal. And I had no idea to expect it. Right now, just put one foot in front of the other. Make yourself go thru the motions of the day. In time, you'll find that the motions get a little easier, the burden a little lighter, and the memories are more of the happy ones and less of the sad ones. Eventually, that empty hole will start to fill in with an immense love and peace for your sis, replacing the hurt that's there now. Sending gentle hugs. [/QUOTE]
