My sister died yesterday, relatively unexpectedly

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry to hear that.

Sending you positive, comforting thoughts and warm hugs.

Sorry to hear about your loss Mr. Mustard (who isn’t really all that Mean).
Your brother-in-law will need your support.
Losing a wife is almost as bad as dying itself.

Good luck.

Losing a sibling is very strange. You have my sympathy.

I’m so sorry. I lost my sister also, when she was 34.

So sorry to hear this - but take comfort in the fact that she was planning for a happier future and her death was sudden and not a lingering painful process.

You and her husband have my deepest sympathies.

Do you live in the same area? Do you have a support system to help you while you grieve? Now is the time to lean on your friends.

From one set of initials to another, mmm, my deep condolences…

Yeah, my three other sibs live within 5 minutes of each other; I’m the outlier, about 30 minutes away.

There are four young’uns in the picture too who have lost Grandma/Auntie.

I get my sarcasm from Sis. Here’s a decades-old example that has somehow stayed with me:

I was a teenager, still living at home. I took out the trash one day and semi-carelessly tossed the bags near the curb. Mom was pissed: “I had to go out there and re-arrange all those garbage bags!!”

Sis: “Did they look nice after you were done?”

Yeah, I miss her.
mmm

I’m so very sorry for your loss…

That is a great little story! I’m glad her sense of humor lives on in you … we need plenty of that on this here lil’ ol’ rock we all share.
I’m sorry you lost her so soon, and I hope her widowed husband can find the strength to stay healthy. I said “uh-oh” out loud when I read your description of him. However, I am more than happy to be proven wrong … :slight_smile:

You ought to tell that story about your sister when folks gather for the funeral/wake/memorial. It’s the kind of thing I hope family and friends will tell when I die.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Sometimes it seems harder when you don’t have time to “ready yourself” for it.

I’m so very sorry.

Mr. Mustard, I love your example of her great humor. You have my condolences on the loss of your sister at such a young age.

I’m sorry for you and your family. I hope you all take comfort in each other.

I can only imagine how terrible it must have been for you to get that news. If I lost my sister I’d probably be an inconsolable nutcase for weeks.

I guess she won’t be taking you out to look at the Queen anymore.

Sorry, Mr. Mustard, for your loss. Sometime a little humour can ease the pain.

I am so sorry. :frowning:

My heart goes out to you. Wishing you comfort.
