I’m so sorry to hear that. I lost a sister many, many years ago (she died when she was four), and while the pain got better, I still miss her sometimes. No one can push your buttons like a sister, but they’re your _sister_, you know? ---

**Ca3799** , you and your family are in my thoughts. I’ve lost a sibling and know how hard it is. As **gardentraveler** says, if it helps, share some stories about her with us. ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] Holy crap. that’s terrible. If it would help, tell us a story about her. [/QUOTE] Please. Share the good to help repel the darkness. If I can recommend, of all things, a children’s book on greiving. It is excellent.

I’m so, so sorry. I still can’t imagine the grief, though I continue to fear it. Stay strong, and it sounds like a lovely thing to do for her. ---

I’m so sorry. My mom died at 64 last August. We had her cremated and scattered some of her ashes [here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ceejaytee/1307381529/) and the rest [here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ceejaytee/1299407047/in/set-72157601815734139/), where she’d have a beautiful view. There’s something very special about scattering ashes in places the person who died really loved. My best wishes to you.
