Hello Everyone and thankyou for accepting me alongside your journeys.
Last Thursday morning my sister passed away in a wonderful hospice, having only been diagnosed in November with soft cell sarcoma then in January with breast cancer in her lungs and chest. I can't put into words how I am feeling today,, as each day I seem to feel more and more low. We lived between our houses since November and I have been with her every day, and thankfully went into the hospice with her Tuesday morning and held her as she died on Thursday morning. I am so pleased that we were able to grant her last wishes and brought her home for a few days before transferring to the hospice for her final journey. My home now feels very empty and quiet and my thoughts revolve around what I'm going to do without her in my life. Thank you for reading x
