Sisters can be annoying pests who hog the bathroom and borrow your clothes without asking but admittedly, they are always there for you when times get tough and usually, they are your best friends. Sisters are always ready to love, comfort, and defend you. They are lifelong friends you can count on until the end. In fact, the only force powerful enough to cut short the friendship between a sister and her siblings is death. The loss of such a special relative can be particularly painful, but holding dear all of the precious memories you shared will help you to cope.
Our hearts are broken forever.
People tell us that in time the pieces will eventually come back together.
If this is true, though hard to believe now, there will always be a space,
The piece to which has your name on its place.
Although born 7.5 years apart, my older sister and I were telepathically close. Our children, until adulthood, believed we were "bopsie twins"! From 1 to 5 times a day we spoke, texted, and...

Spoiled you rotten I would have done.
If only I knew that would be our last phone call,

Constantly thinking,
never to be the same.
The tears fall quickly
just hearing your name.

One morning I found you in eternal sleep;
I tried to wake you as I began to weep,
But all my pleas you could not hear.
Oh, if I could have only kept you near,
I lost my 8-year-old sister on May 29th this year. She was my heart. She was close to everyone in my family. She was healthy. She didn't even feel sick in her 8 years of lifespan, not even a...
Four years have now passed,
my heart's still not whole.
Pieces forever missing,
with your death, they were stolen.
Over in the corner sits an empty rocking chair,
Yet my mind's eye can still picture her there,
Gently rocking to and fro at a slow steady pace,
Wearing a soft loving glow upon her sweet face;
I was doing a job in Lahore, and my mother lived alone in the village. On July 28, 2022, my sister came to visit mother. She was fit in every way. On July 30, I received a call at 3:00 in the...
I closed my eyes,
Felt the warmth of the sun on my face.
All the grief and pain
Was simply too hard to erase.

I wish you sweet sleep, my sister dear.
Although there's so much that you've left bare,
I hate that you had to endure such pain.
On my mind, your saddened eyes have left a stain.
I just got a new foster sister a few months ago. I am here to tell the story of her little sister's murder. She had a stepmom who was a real jerk in all, but what she did was just cruel! So...
So many questions running through my mind,
I am suddenly unable to speak.
I hear your voice on the other end,
Your cries turn into shrieks.
Alice, God gives us strength to endure. I, too, lost a sister a little over a year ago, and the pain is indescribable. Daily I struggle not to reach for the phone. I fight back tears more...
Like twins, I feel I'm one of two.
Struggling here sister without you.
Why, oh why did you have to go?
My heart is sore and it pains me so.
Often, when it's late at night
And no one's 'round but me,
My mind will travel back in time
To my sister's memory.

It feels like years but it has only been months,
And yet that is still too long.
I still love you the same as if you were still here with me,
laughing during the good times and crying during the bad ones.

I am just a girl who misses her sister.
I wonder if she's missing me too.
I hear the wind when everything else is silent.
I see the horizon when I stare straight ahead.
What could I have done
To be the one
To help you through your darkest hours?

She was my baby, fragile and small.
She was beautiful, like a little girl's doll.
She was older than I, but so quiet and weak,
And when I heard to dire news, I wept
That was a very sad poem. Yes, losing a sibling can be difficult. I just lost my sister last month, the first out of five to leave. It can be rough, but we know God is with us to help us...
