Just found out my sister died email this discussion to a friend?

I had an older sister (by 6 years) who I hadn't seen in almost 25 years. I'm not sure why she never came around, as she was raised by her grandmother. We were half-sisters. Anyway, my father just called and said one of his friends said my sister had died. I looked it up on the internet and sure enough, she passed away in April of this year. I never knew. I don't know how she died, although I had heard she had cancer and was very ill. But strangely, I don't know how I feel about this. I feel a hole in my heart for a sister I never knew and now I'll never get to know her. Yet, I feel numb as well. I hope she is resting in peace and is experiencing the wonders of Heaven and looking down and not feeling any regret that we never had a relationship. I guess I don't know what I'm supposed to feel.

I would say everything you are feeling is normal you didnt know her and I supposed its like anytime you hear of someone dying who you didnt know it still leaves you feeling sad and add to this that she was your sister and the fact you will never get to know her im not surprised you dont know how to feel right now.
Give it time and if it is important to you then maybe try to find out a bit about her life so you can know her in a small way if nothing else.

How sad to hear that you only come to know of your sister's death recently. What made it so painful is you have lost a sister forever whom you have not met and was not able to bond the sisterly love. Pray for her soul and let her rest in peace. Death is certain for everyone of us and let her death only be a temporary goodbye.

Hi Art,

I am very sorry for that, and also I have understood your
problems and heart pain now, but in the life everything will be happened,
so we have to be prepare for this types of incident in our life. So the
life is too short and also we don't have any guarantee for our life, and
we may waiting for the death at anytime, so this is a life of human beings.
As you have told that you never been had any relation with your half sister
and also never been seen her for long time, so you have the worries and also
have the thinking about her all the times. So any way we would be waiting
for our turn and it could be happened at any time.

Have a nice day.

I am sorry for your loss, not only your sisters death but you never getting to know her and have any relationship with her. I too have a few sisters and I know them. But I don't communicate with them cause I am the baby and they think I don't know how to do anything. At my age I should be able to get credit for not being as stupid as they think I am. I can't have a relationship with any of my family cause of that. But I rest that she is in Heaven with God and in peace not thinking of things to do with this earth she is celebrating being with God.

I think what you are feeling is probably appropriate under the circumstances. You never got close to your sister therefore it is hard to grieve for someone who really did not know. It is unfortunate you lived lives apart but there is little you can do about it now.

She may have been a nice person or a terrible person I guess you will never know unless you find out if you want to. I do find it strange however that nobody told you for months after she died. Sometimes families can be strange that way keeping their own little secrets from each other.
