My baby sister died today

[Mr. P]

Thinking of you, Sassy.

inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajeeoon.

This is what we say when someone dies. It's from the Qur'aan and it says we come from God and it is to Him we return. May God give her comfort and peace in the afterlife. ameen

I believe we are a part of God that returns home to be rejuvenated and then decide what comes next. She is finally resting and rejuvenating with family.

Thanks for the kind words.

Sl as long as your sister is in your heart and memory she is not really gone. She will be waiting for you at the gates of Heaven when you arrive - then you will have an eternity to spend with her

I can't believe I didn't see this before now.

I'm truly saddened for your loss, SL.

Keep your chin up. I know what you mean by being grateful because she's no longer in pain, I felt the same way about my Dad and at least you can take comfort in that.

Thank you, Rick. We all know she is no longer suffering and feel relief that she isn't. Sometimes we feel guilty because of the relief .... but we know this is normal also. We've been fighting this battle for over ten years, and very aggressively the last two years. She had the will and the strength to keep fighting, but her lungs were virtually non-existent at the last ... her body gave up, not her soul.

We had the memorial last Saturday and it was good to hear all the wonderful things people had to say and to see the montage of old pictures ... and the songs that were played/sung were at times heartbreaking and at other times uplifting.

Thanks everyone for all your support over the past months and years. I never felt alone in any of this.
