[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lost my beloved sibling a few months ago. That's the end of my nuclear family.

Wondering if anyone else is dealing with the loss of a loved one and how you are coping during the holidays.

This one is hitting me hard even though I've been through the loss of parents, relatives and friends. Somehow losing my sibling is different in so many ways.

Maybe it's because there isn't another person in the world who I can say, "Remember when we did such-and-such as kids?!"

Anyway, hugs to those of you in a similar situation. [/quote]

I am close to my aunt and this is her situation. She is my mom’s younger sibling and she lost both of her parents and both of her siblings before she was 60. I am the oldest grandchild on that side and I can tell she loves hearing the things I remember about people she knew and loved. It does seem like a sad thing at times and I am thankful she has a loving spouse and children/grandchildren, as well as nieces and nephews.

It makes me sad that I’m only 45 and my mom is gone, my dad is disinterested in being a family participant and my only sibling lives several states away and we aren’t super close. I sometimes miss the family of my childhood. We spend a lot of time with DH’s family, but they are more formal and not as warm. [/quote]
