Lost my sister...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I thought Id give it a try. I lost my sister over ten years ago to mc. Not really sure the whole story of what happened as I only found out that happened a few years ago. (Long story) My step mom and dad have her in an urn in a case in their hallway. If I could I would sit and talk to her all day. I dont know if its strange or not but I find myself thinking about her pretty much every day. I really just wanted to know if I was the only one that lost a sibling, or if anyone knows a different place to talk about this sort of thing. Thanks so much.

I'm sorry for the loss of your sister. I think most of us on this board have lost babies, but some have likely lost siblings as well. I do appreciate you sharing your story. We plan to make our first child, Patricia, a part of our family's life forever. We will tell our future children abut their big sister and I hope to explain her life and death on a way they can understand. 

I think it is normal to think about your sister. When my daughter was stillborn, my grandmother shared with me about a baby she lost at four months and it really made me wonder how different our lives would be if my mom, the only surviving child, had a brother or sister. It makes you really consider the impact one person can have in the world. This thought makes me miss my daughter more but also renews my strong desire to protect her memory. 

Again, I'm sorry for your loss and am glad to hear you are keeping your sister's memory alive. I imagine it is a comfort to your mom and stepdad.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister.  I don't think it's strange that you think about her a lot.  When someone has experienced such a deep loss, it's normal to think about the person often.  I think of Eliott each day, multiple times.
