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:

Re: My sister is dying!
Dear Nicola,
My prayers and thoughts are with you at such an awful time. I do know how you are feeling it was my birthday only 3 weeks ago when my mum passed away, she had been suffering with cancer, which we all thought was treatable, the shock at the loss is still so raw. Some kind person has said some lovely words of comfort that when the if only's and grief passes and in time it will, the powerful memories of love replace it.
Apparently the pain gets easier as the passing of time helps you cope.
Much much love to all your family. Mel
