Death » Sister Death Poems » MISSING MY SISTER     Poem of the Day  
The poem is something that came to me about 6 months after my sister's sudden death. I found her dead on her bedroom floor when I went in to change her bandages from a recent surgery. A blood clot from that surgery is what killed her. The poem tells my journey through grief - from the initial disbelief to the final acceptance. There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss my best friend.

My Mother had been ill with a serious lung disease (COPD) due to many years of smoking. I tried many times to get her to stop smoking over my life with her, but she could not stop. It took a toll on her heart and she died from a heart attack on 12/10/2006, which is my younger sister's birthday. I wrote this poem in dedication to her.

This poem talks about the day of my sister's funeral, which took place on a beautiful sunny day in November 2007. It is normally a day that makes my spirits soar, but that day was one of the hardest I had ever faced. I had prepared an eulogy, but wasn't sure I could make it through it without breaking down. I did make it through, however, without wavering. The weather helped, but I think the brilliant golden ray of my sister's spirit was with me.
