Try to turn your thinking around. Yes, your little girl is growing up. What a marvelous opportunity to build on the relationship the two of you will have for many years to come. More years than you have with her as a little girl. My girl is 13, and I absolutely love watching her grow and mature, and helping her steer through the bumps of life. Rather than be sad that she's becoming a young woman, be happy. This is what children are meant to do.
Also, be glad that she and her brother have the type of close relationship that they do. My son is also close to his sister, and he is one of the first people she goes to. I'd rather that than a total stranger - he has the sense to know if something is a problem and find a way to let me know.
