Vic, I'm sorry about the passing of your sister. It takes a long time to
come to terms with losses, especially if its a loss of a dear one. You never
get over it. But you will eventually accept it, but can take several years.
Everybody is different, and some people take longer than others to come to
terms with the fact that the person is gone. Its especially difficult on
anniversaries such as peoples birthdays. Yes, I know its very sad. Just go
with the sadness. Her husband and children are in my thoughts.
:)

Sorry to hear about your sister Vicki. It's a clich� but as time goes by it
does become a bit less painful. I'm still in the grieving process myself and
have times where I get pretty sad about what has happened. It helps me to
think about the good times, looking at old pictures of happy times and
thinking about all the years spent together. Might not seem like much but
it's been helpful, and I give myself permission to be sad when the feeling
hits.
I lost a child 8 years ago, he was just 17. Though it still saddens me
sometimes, most of the time I am thankful for those years we had. The last
15 months have been trying times for me. First my kids' mother died, then my
stepmother passed the middle of last year. Late last year my sister was run
over by an 18 wheeler. Her funeral was on my birthday. But I know I will get
through it too.
Not sure I have been any help, but wanted you to know you're not alone.

So sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace and healing.

Ray, I had no idea about all the losses you have suffered. My heart goes out
to you. My deepest condolences.
