In reply to the discussion: My twin sister died yesterday. [View all]flying_wahini
(8,043 posts)71. My sister has been fighting it as well. She is making preparations now to pass on.
Its in her breasts, lymph nodes, eyeball and bones. She went strict vegan 10 years ago after her first breast was removed and refused all but minimal radiation and has lived another 10 years.
She was given just a few months to live in 2016 and so we are amazed she has managed to stay with us this long. She was moved to hospice (Canada) months ago after she feel and broke a femur but is up with a walker and back home now. She is one tough bird.
I feel your pain and share it with you. I know its coming but hard to get my head around it.
I know you will miss her terribly. Consider yourself hugged. 💗

Losing my younger sister is still so painful. I can't even begin to imagine losing a twin

My heart goes out to you. Losing a sibling is so hard. Loosing a twin must be almost unbearable.
