I feel we all lost a sister too young.
I certainly share your loss of a dear sweet loved one('s).
Terry and I were schoolmates since elementry school & we always liked one another.
We bumped into each other a couple of years or so ago and it was as if not a spec of time had not passed. We still connected. She was always a good egg.
There isn't anything I can say to help you not feel the loss. I do know it's a daily process. Let the tears flow because we do mourn for ourselves.
I've lost most of my immediate family in within 4 years,which included both sets of grandparents,my only sister-in-law at 42, an only uncle, my mother & father. My unc & parents died within a 9 month period as well as my best friend and all from cancer.
Keep Terry alive in your hearts and all the wonderful times you shared with her.
