I am sorry for your loss...I lost a sister when I was six and she was two, nearly three.

I am now 51. I have a sister who is 49 and another who is 45...she would have been 47 if she did not die. It is so obvious that she is missing in our lineup, a big gaping hole...I have never forgotten her and I look forward to seeing her when I pass on.

This week my DH died two years ago.

I miss him so much...we homeschooled our youngest to sixth grade together. Then during DH's last summer, he watched as his youngest went to summer school to prepare to go to the private school I teach in.

He died before school started. I decided to go back to work since that is where DS was and I wanted to be there for him if he had any problems. DS did very well, socially and academically. I settled DH's estate when I had time.

It has been two years, and I cannot work any longer. I am taking a year off. I should have done that two years ago. I still have things to do to settle DH's estate. I have to fix up my house.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine losing my hubby. You do need some time for yourserlf. I think you will feel better when you get some me time.

Sending big hugs your way!

I am also saddened and curious about the loss of your sister. I spend great amounts of time wondering how my kids will feel when they grow up. I worry deeply about them. Do you have any survivor's guilt. My dh's brother has survivor's guilt. Their family never talked of the loss of their child to SIDS. He had a massive breakdown when my dd died. It brought it all home to him. I am hoping my kids aren't quite this repressed and deal with the loss a little better. I just wonder what is like to lose a sibling. It must be terrible.

Please take care of yourself.

Even though this is an older post, I couldn't read and not reply. I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet daughter, Shawndra. Thank you so much for sharing her with us.
