Loss of a sister

Author: connie (---.sympatico.ca) Date: 11-08-2005 18:49 Hi. I was so impressed with this site that as soon as it came on my screen I just felt like this was a safe place and a place that I could really find myself in everyday. I have never spoken too often about how I feel. I seem to keep most of life's hurt deep inside thinking if I keep it locked away it could never hurt like it did the first time but over the past few months the hurt is slowly eating my soul away and I feel here is where I can talk about it. My sister Elizabeth and I were 10 years apart she the older one and always the wise one.She had 5 son's and when I was growing up I was an Auntie very young so I spent most of my childhood with her helping out with the boy's. We spent so much time together she was like my second Mom. She was an amazing part of my life until one night a recieved a phone call that she had been killed by her boyfriend. I can still remember screaming into the phone and feeling as if I failed her in some way for not being with her that night or protecting her. The next morning we found out that he took his life also a few hours after killing my sister. This happened in December.2003 and it feels like yesterday as far as getting over it. I thought I came to terms with knowing she was gone but everyday for the past few week's she takes over my thoughts and I try to remember the good times but so quickly they are taken over by her last moments before she died. I think about the fear that was running through her and what she was thinking and just picturing her in my mind trying to get away from this man who was determined to take her life away. Not a moment in a day goes by that she does not cross my mind. I know in time it will get easier but I could never forget. I'm hoping all the memories I have over power one sad day in my life. She was an amazing sister and she was my best friend. Like I said before I have never spoken this openly to any one about her and I honestly have to say I do feel better now. Not cured from a deep heartache but I feel as if I' ve let some of the hurt out of my life. Connie.
