Death is always an event in every family that is inevitable and is something that has different responses from different families and their circumstances.

How close are you to your sister who wants to meet up with you?

This may be something SHE needs and you could help support her. She will become closer to you when her sister passes because there will be a loss and a void in her that is aching and she needs that hole, that emptiness that is created from the departing of a sibling, especially among sisters, to be healed over time.
That is where YOU come in.

It is of course your decision.

I am one of four. I have one older brother, a sister who is 19 months younger, and another baby brother who is 16 years younger. My sis and baby brother live far away from me. My older brother is only a couple miles. He has my dad.

We are close. Not nearly as close with sis. SHE needs the companionship of me and my older brother a lot more than we do with her. That is just the way ot is.

Personally, if it were my decision, I would be on my way to give comfort to your sister who needs the emotional support and help her to get through this time of grieving. You are the stronger of the family.

Your siblings you have a lifetime whether close or not. You did not get to pick or choose them and some may be more dependent on you than you realize.

Give it some thought and if you can I would strongly urge you to go comfort your sister and be a ROCK for the family during this time.


I will be praying for the family starting today...

God bless you and your family is this difficult time.

My condolences to you, your sister, and your family.

I got some bad news about my oldest sister. She's had another stroke (she's had several over the last seven or eight months) and is only expected, per the hospice, to live for another few days. Apparently her entire left side is gone, and she can't eat.

I'm not very close to her, but my youngest sister (who is still older than me) is . . . and she wants me to meet up with her in Missouri so we can go have a death watch. It's the last thing I want to do, so I still haven't decided. As I said, my oldest sister is not someone I'm close to.

It's pretty sad. My father died in October, and his firstborn child will probably pass less than a year later.
