My Sister died yesterday
Aloha Evelyn and thank you for sharing this deeply personal and moving experience with us. I felt nothing but LOVE coming through your words......love of family, love of sisters, love of life. Through sadness shines love....and I hope that you remember mostly all the wonderful times with her and celebrate her life as you go through the sadness of her death.
Your words made me remember my mother who was very ill saying to me "Karen, I want to fly away......just fly away." I think she felt I was holding her by my not wanting her to go, and it was selfish of me. I heard her deep and meaningful words, and released her. It was NOT easy.
Hugging you from afar.
Aloha nui loa,
Maui Karen

So sorry about your sister's passing.....but as we all know she is now at peace and free from pain. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go thru the grieving process.
May God give you strength, comfort, and peace in the days ahead.

Done! Your Ticker:
Dear Evelyn: As a Hospice Nurse I am inspired and strengthened by the love of families and friends during the last hours of someone's life.and actually throughout their illness That is where the Love truly pours out in an abundance. I can promise you in 6 months you will never regret the hours of sleep you've loss, the hours of work missed...it's a priviledge in some ways when a pt has a terminal illness because you can say all those things you hold in your heart and love that person until their last breath...someone who dies suddenly at times there wasn't an opportunity to say I love you or you had a disagreement and the guilt is pretty thick... saddness fills your heart today and will when you think on your sister but, just by your e-mail she was one blessed lady to have you for a sister...may you be comforted today...Patricia

So sorry to hear of your loss. She is no longer in pain and is in the presence of her Creator. May he hold you and yours in his loving hands and ease your sorrow.
