My sister is dying!
Found out yesterday that my sister went into the hospice on Sunday and that she is not expected to live beyond the weekend, my mum and her husband are with her, (she is in Canberra) I went to see her 7 weeks ago and had a couple of nights with her.
It just seems so surreal that this is actually happening, some times the pain inside is so intense, I don't know what to do with it. I actually think its worse than having a physical pain cause you can't take a pain-killer and make it better.
She is only 18 months younger than me, I don't think I can quite believe it's happening she is just too young, and she has suffered so much.
What is strange is that our dad died 3 years ago this month.
Not much else to say, if I think about it all too much I get too upset.
I am really fortunate that the ward I'm working on is really caring and are being really supportive. I want to continue t work as much as possible too much time at home on my own makes me worse.
Sometimes I just want to go to sleep and wake up when its all over, I'm so dreading that phone call. :scared:

i am nearly 40, and the thought of what your sister is going through at the moment is mortifying.
i wish i was over in australia, and i would try to get over to you and give you the hug you so obviously need.
what can i say? there's only 17 months difference between my sister and myself, so i know where you are coming from.........
take care

Although I miss her incredibly I know that she was in lots of pain and didn't want to carry on anymore, so for this I am thankful.
I know people always say things will get better in time, this is not true you just learn to live with it and to accept it was for the best. There is no words to describe how much pain you feel having to watch them suffering. I know as I've been there myself. Please don't think you are alone as my thoughts and prayers are with you, as I'm sure are everyone else's who is on this site.
God bless you in your time of need and if you need any help or just a moan please let me know and I'll do what I can.
Regards
Wendy

At least you've been able to see her; I wasn't able to see my grandfather when he died this year, as he was in Australia and I was in the UK.
