lost my sister

[notallcriedout]

Found out yesterday during my dd's birthday party that one of my older sisters had died in her sleep. I have just not been able to cry. Although normally I cry at almost anything. Is this common?

Also not sure how to tell my 6 and 4 year old. They don't really know her but they do still need to be told as my mum is devasted.

I am so sorry - I cannot imagine being without my sister. Look after yourself while this sinks in. x

I so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you. Try and take care of yourself. Do you havw anyone to come and support you/sit with you in rl?

I am so sorry. I had to tell DS when he was 5 that his baby sister had died. He took it very well, cried a lot and asked all the silly questions that I just couldn't. DCs will be able to handle it, you just need to be truthful.
Take your time, I am so sorry for your loss. x

I'm sorry for your loss. My db was killed las year and I told my ds that we were all very sad because we couldn't see uncle xxxx anymore. XXXX was in the sky was still watching over him and loves him very much. DS was 2 years 11 months so was really hard to try explain to him. He was there when i was told and so asked for his uncle this was the first thing that came into my head I've reiterated at times that his uncle is dead as he still asks to see him but usually he looks up to the sky to talk to his uncle. DS is 3.6 now and has been told how my db was killed. It took me a few minutes to process it which seamed like ages it was like an awful nightmare or a sick joke. Was only when i looked round my parents and brother and dp that i realised it was true. Take it easy on yourself and cry as and when you need to your dc's will be able to handle it and will provide you with some comfort.

Thank you everyone. So sorry for your loss 2 Fearne and Shelley.

thanks,
how are you feeling?

Sorry for your loss xx

Feeling ok thanks. Spent the day with mum and one of my sisters which I think helped.

Tears are starting to come which hopefully will help.

It does help to cry although may not seam it at the time. Being with your mum and sisters is good as they have an idea of what your going through. I wont say they know as every relationship is different as is everyone so the grief is. If that makes sense? Take care of yourself

So sorry to hear of your loss - I lost my older brother a few month backs and its knocked us for six - he is on mind constantly - take care xx
