My heart goes out to you. My experience in the looking back is that we don’t really remember or possibly we begin to doubt how hard we tried to make things work out along the way. Be easy with yourself. If you really need to be with your sister again is it possible to contact one of her daughters to see if you could visit? I couldn’t be with my father due to distance at the end. To mark the space in time I went to a park that we frequented when I was growing up. It was Christmas and so we sang Christmas carols there and remembered easier, happier times. It fed my soul at a very sad time. Maybe there is something you could do to mark the space in time if you are not able to make a visit. You have tried your hardest and my heart goes out to you. Peace and love to you. 💗💗💗🙏🏼💐
