    You know no words can be brought out of my mouth right now.. But I will try my best.. I'm terribly sorry for your lose babe.. I'm sorry that sorry *** drove drunk that night.. I'm sorry that your uncle didn't stay with you.. Maybe he was having a hard enough time dealing with it all and he couldn't stay.. I don't know babe.. I do think you did lose your own child.. from the sound of it you raised her unlike your mother should of.. I wish I could say more but I don't even think this is even helping.. Just remember I'm here for you.. And I will listen to you no matter what.. I love you babe.. xoxoxoxo

    This story was so hard to read and I'm sure it was even harder for you to live it and to write it, reliving the experience. I must tell you that you are one strong woman because I wouldn't be able to do what you did and when you did it. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that because for your sister to be so young and you to had raised her is even harder to take in. You must have had so many hopes for her and to have her life stolen from you is just a tragedy. My condolences go out to you on behalf of your aunt and your little sister and you have all of my sympathy. The good times you had with them will last with you all your life. You're in my prayers and thoughts.

    Thanks everyone that commented.. This was probably the hardest story to write so far.. but i feel a little better about everything.. I still miss her.. I don't I will ever not miss her.. Thanks Rage that mean a lot. I wish my uncle would of stayed with me just for some kind of support.. But yea he was probably going threw some hard **** as well... Tinker it just feels like it's my fault because I was the one that told them to take her off.. And she would still be alive if I told them to keep them on.. But I just didn't think I could handle her being different. But I don't know.. It's just hard.. I'm sorry about your brother. *hugs* Dimples thank you that mean a lot to me.. It was the hardest thing to live threw.. And it was really hard to write.. I was in tears at the end of it.. thank you..

    Hi, I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my brother around 11 years ago. He was not only my big brother, but my best friend and hero all rolled up into one. My dad didn't want me around so my brother stepped in and made sure I had someone to talk to and play with. He was always there for me. He was 19 years old when I was born so he didn't have to accept me, but he did. When he got sick with cancer, I stayed with him in the hospital for 3 weeks until he passed on. Hardest thing ever to say goodbye. Life is a lot harder without him around but I know he looks out for me even now. You did your best and were there for your little sister when she needed you the most. You're an angel.

    I can't even fathom how hard that must have been and still is. To have to go through something like is terrible. Its probably redunant, but I'm truly sorry for loss.

    AllAroundMe, I have just met you and am so sorry for all of your loss and pain. I had tears in my eyes also while reading this heart renching experience. A love for a child as your own is just that. You have a love for your child. I can only try to imagine what a decision of such would do to someones heart. For whatever it's worth, I think sparing your sister the pain and missery, and loving her enough to let her go is surely the purest form of love there is. My thoughts are with you.

    I am so sorry you went through this. Loss is so much a part of life, none of us are spared. But after nursing many Hospice pts over the years, I like to remind people, they are no longer suffering like we do. Also, you took care of her, now she is your "angel" watching over you. She will live in your heart forever. Talk to her sometime...you will be surprised what happens. Good luck and take care of YOU!

    Time really does heal. I lost my sister back in 97. She was killed by the toxic phen phen diet drugs. I truly understand how you feel right now. I hope you remember it does get easier as time goes on. I will admit, I still have not gone to visit my sister grave since her funeral. I am scared of going backwards.

    That is so tragic that my heart literally hurts for you. I truly believe that they can see you. Even though your sister was a precious baby, I believe that God endowed her with omniscience, and she knows that you loved her then, and still love her now. I truly believe that. I know that one day you will get to be with her again. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. God bless.

    I just want to say that Im soooo sorry for your loss I know what it is like as I have been where you have been. Please understand none of this was your fault. I know that you go through things in your life in which you don't understand, but God will never give you anythign that you cannot handle. Again I am so sorry for your loss...

    You are the one that ended her suffering honey. Do not blame yourself. You reached out to her with all the love in the world and wanted what was best for her and she knows that. Let her angel light shine down upon you. She would want you to be happy in life because she loved you. I too was teary eyed reading this story. My heart goes out to you sweetie. Love and Light, Lorrri

    I was very moved by your story, cried for awhile too. I have a sis too... we're like best friends. If I were to choose, I would have done the same thing. To have shared your experience, is allowing you and your sister to move on. She will always be in your heart...like my father has and is still...

    My dearest girl,this is a decision I to have had to make with an aunt that raised me.This is some thing I know has been with you and will be for a long time.It has been five years for me and I still wonder was I right.But one thing I do know is you made the decision that you thought was best for you're sister (daughter) at the time or you would not have done it.You did what you had always done with her you did you're best and that is all any one can ask.A friend of mine helped me so much with this suggestion and it helps.Look up the lyrics to one day at a time sweet Jesus then make a copy to keep with you and on you at all times and read it until you know the words by heart and live by them.May God keep you safe and help clear you're mind.ONE DAY AT A TIME MY DEAR ONE DAY AT A TIME

    Type your comment here...I started to read this story and could not stop crying. I am so very sorry for your loss.I pray that you find the peace that you need to get through everyday. It took me literally 21 minutes to get from the first word that you wrote to the last. It was incredibly difficult to even read. I can't imagine what you must have felt. she knew you loved her. You stayed with her until it was time for her to go be with GOD. I didnakt mean to leave the loss of you aunt out. Again,I am sorry that you had to witness two people that you loved in that terrible situation.I can't understand why your uncle didn't stay,but from the amount of people here , you do see that people care.people are grieving with you that have never laid eyes on you. I pray you find peace.

    Oh... this story made me cry...

    We're all here for you... I can barely think of anything to say... I am so sorry for your loss...

    Just know it wasn't your fault... I think you made the right choice. It would be harder if you saw her living now, but suffering... she knows it was for her good and that it was a difficult choice for you...

    God bless, my condolences to you...

    Hi, first off im not going to even try to imagine what you have gone threw, its horrible.
    You must live on, stop thinking about your sisters death, think about her life, think about when you taut her to walk and talk, when she called you mom. I believe in life after death, She is happy now looking over you, thinking about her life together with you, how much you have done for her and how much she loves you. Her life was short but I am sure she was glad for every minute of it that was spent with you, you are the one who showed her love and life.
    Heal well and know that your sister is beyond the gates of Heaven waiting their for you when it is your time, live your life to its fullest so when you meet up with her again you will be able to talk about it with her. Im sure she wants to hear a lot of happy things stay strong for her. Remember your aunt too, she is also with your sister taking one step at a time threw their new journey.
    As for your uncle, I understand why your so bitter he should have been their, both of you could have supported each other. You must forgive him. He just saw his wife die, maybe he could not handle to see your sister go.
