Written by my Now Youngest.

Written by my Now youngest daughter, in reflection of her sister Deborah:
"A long post because a few people asked me this question. People ask what is something that remains a challenge during our grieving. Something that is a challenge daily is watching another day go and seeing others who knew her and loved her, grow. Some have entered university or have moved away to attend university. Some are in serious relationships where there is a very good chance of future nuptials. And then there are some...this part is the worst, who are wasting away consumed with partying and drinking. It breaks my heart to see people with such great futures ahead of them be so lost within themselves. My sister never got to celebrate her 21st birthday. She never got to move out on her own. She wasn't there to watch her own sister get married. It's hard to watch people change, honestly. That's my greatest challenge. I am reminded everyday of our loss. I don't see her regularly around the house or hear that laugh of hers. Our rooms are next to eachother and I don't hear noise coming fr next door. (She'd be moving her furniture in her room to clean or reorganize it).
We even still get calls or run into people asking how Deborah is.
Moonshine and fish Daphne are still thriving so there is still that cpnstant reminder of that love she had for them. Sounds silly but it's a reminder non the less.
I love having memories to fall back on. But some are still too hard to speak of.
To anyone who has lost someone in an unexpected way, grieving will never stop. You just have to find a way to move forward the best way you can. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask."
