My 'spare' sister is dieing.....she won"t make Christmas.... :(

[warrior queen]

She and I have been as close as real sisters since we first met at age 2 1/2.
We have shared every event in our lives.

I am flying to be with her on Monday.
We will have a night on tequila.... because that's what we do, and because FUCK what the doctor says

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Condolences.

 

[warrior queen]

As an atheist, I was hoping for a miracle....

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I would, as an Atheist, substitute fortuitous reversal of outcome...

 

[warrior queen]

Sadly...nothing will change this.
I am going to be with her for whatever time is left.
Fuck the funeral.....she won't know if I'm there or not...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

It's what we do in life that counts.

All else is theater for others...

 

[warrior queen]

I know tbis seems like just another wq thread....but I have been crying for 3 hours.
This is a BIG THING.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

You run the risk of this too being theater for others.


I really have no comfort to offer.

 

[parodyluvr75]

I'm sorry about your sis, that's fucked up. At least you know so you can share time together.

I hope for a miracle for you.

Belief is ephemeral, hope is universal.

Relish the time you still have together, but don't forget to have care for yourself as well as her.

 

[Wings]

Sorry to read that, WQ.

 

[Aphro]

I'm very sorry, WQ.

Enjoy the time you have left with her. Make good memories. Laugh. Cry. Reflect on the times you shared. I'm sure she'd rather have tequila and laughs with you now, than flowers and tears at the funeral.

Peace and healing.

 

[scotluvsoral]

Sorry your loss. It's never an easy thing to lose a loved one

 

[chillywilly2]

Condolences WQ..take care

That's what makes it another wq thread, but what of it.

 

[doowdniw]

I am sorry for your loss.

This is proof you're human, after all.

Condolences

Hold her. Ask her what she wants to do and live in her moments. I might seem mean spirited but when we are losing a loved one we think about ourselves.

Dont be selfish. Mourn when she is gone and treat every second you do have together like it is precious.

I've been online trying to get a flight booked. No seats available till the end of the week.
I thought all airlines had to keep 'compassionate' seats available? Or it used to be so, because we used them after my brother passed.....
Mum is trying from her side of the country while I wait for the offices to open this morning.

What really sux about this whole thing is that she has been misdiagnosed for years.
All the doctors she saw told her she had panic disorder and gave her tranq's, when all along it was adrenal cancer.
Finally diagnosed in August this year - and too far along to treat It had mestatised all through her body (diagnosis was made after a broken bone was found to have been literally eaten away.)

Thanx for all the kind words.

Get put on the list for a cancellation. There are always cancellations.

And I hope you and her get to spend some quality time together.

I have to speak to the airlines to do that....and they won't be open for another hour. One of the drawbacks of living outside a major city.
Hell, my local airport doesn't even have a tower - we rely on coverage from Melbourne.

Mum saw her yesterday and tells me she is down to under 40kg.... Three weeks ago she was still active and optomistic. Very quick deterioration

I have a flight booked for January. Did that some weeks ago.... Trying to change it seems impossible

 

[snugglestruggle]

Sorry to hear about your sis

There was some good advice was given here. My advice, when you call customer service you might get lucky if a religious person answers so tell them your sis has days to live.

I hope you get some quality time with her.

Thank goodness she ain't a "darkie", eh wanker?

 

[Lyricalli]

I hope you're able to get to her soon.

^^^^^ shows precisely how little you know.
Now take your shit and go flush, ok.
