I'm the Last One

My oldest sister was laid to rest a week ago yesterday. I no longer have to wonder which sister will be next to die because I am the last one of four. I still have three of my brothers; the oldest one died years ago, but I feel alone. I do not feel sorry for my family members gone on before me because I know they are better off; however, I feel very sorry for myself knowing that I must live on without them. There is no way for me to fill their shoes, I feel overwhelmed! My biggest fear is that time will only dull my pain instead of erasing it. I am so sorry I am not stronger, I feel I have let my mom down. I miss mom the most, along with my dad.

I know how you feel. My only brother was laid to rest almost two years ago, he was 20, and I am faced with the fact that I too could go at anytime. I am only 23, and I have this fear. I have a boyfriend, my mother, and grandmother, and I am not ready to leave any of them yet.
