It's strange to have to revisit your past experiences through the things your friends are going through. When I was younger, my sister passed way. My family is still recovering and it was over 12 years ago. My friends sister passed away this week ... not only did a feel the sorrow of her loss, I felt like I was going to relive all those moments again through her experience. It cut me deep. I never got to meet my friend's sister, and I was about to. I miss my sister so terribly and all those emotions came back up. I hope that I am a good friend to her in this sad time... I want to be the comfort for her that I never got... and just be there for her. People often times are not respectful of other's space at this time. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that we will be there for them. I do know one thing that has kept me going through it all. Just the belief that I am going to make it. And that my sister would have wanted me to happy. I don't know how to make this a less serious post but it's just been on my heart this day and I needed to get it out there. I hope this encouraged someone who's going through a death to know that they are not alone and that the person who died wouldn't want them to feel sad, but only to remember all the goodness of the life that they once lived.
