A Poem for My Sister, Gone Too Soon
The world feels hushed, a muted tone, Since you, my sister, have flown. A vacant space, a silent tear, A memory held, so very dear.
Your laughter rings, a distant chime, A flicker bright, defying time. Your gentle touch, a whispered grace, A loving smile, upon your face.
We shared our dreams, our hopes, our fears, Through childhood joys and teenage tears. A bond unbreakable, so strong, A sister's love, where we belonged.

How do I cope with the loss of my sister?
Grief is a personal journey, with no right or wrong way to feel. Allow yourself to grieve, to cry, to remember. Lean on your support network – family, friends, support groups. Consider professional grief counseling if needed. Remember that healing takes time, and be patient with yourself. Focus on celebrating your sister's life and the memories you shared.
What are some healthy ways to remember my sister?
Creating a memorial album, planting a tree in her memory, or establishing a scholarship in her name are all meaningful ways to honor her life. Share stories and photos with others who knew and loved her. You might also find comfort in journaling, writing poetry, or creating art inspired by her memory. Remember the positive impact she had on your life and on the lives of others.
Will the pain of losing my sister ever go away?
The intensity of the pain will lessen over time, but the loss of your sister will always be a part of your life. You will learn to live with the grief, integrating it into your memories and your life. The sharp edges of sorrow will soften, replaced by a gentler, more enduring love and remembrance. This doesn't mean you'll forget her or stop missing her, but rather that you’ll find ways to carry her memory with you in a more peaceful way.
Is it normal to feel angry after losing a sibling?
Yes, anger is a perfectly normal emotion to feel during grief. It's a natural response to a significant loss, and it can be directed at yourself, others, or even the circumstances surrounding your sister's death. Allow yourself to feel these emotions without judgment. Talking to a therapist or counselor can help you process these feelings healthily and constructively.
Though shadows fall, and darkness reigns, Your spirit lives, beyond the pains. And in my heart, a love remains, For you, my sister, through sun and rains.
Your memory, a guiding star, Shining brightly, near and far. Until we meet, on that bright shore, My love for you, forevermore.
