So very sorry, Pam. There is nothing that compares to the intense pain that you are feeling. Remember that the funeral is for you to grieve your beautiful sister. You don't have to take care of anyone but you and your grief is personal-no one can tell you how to do it or how it should "look". Just grieve this beautiful life that was taken too early.
P.S. Your advice about getting things in order. After losing two siblings, an uncle and a father-in-law in a year, I got everything together and on paper for my own funeral. It is TOO HARD on the people left behind to have to do all of that.

Raider, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my younger brother in June. He died in front of me due to drowning while at the beach on a family vacation. It's been the most difficult period of my life, so I understand what you're going through. Please know that it's alright to grieve and that everyone's grief and recovery from death is different. Take your time and do whatever you need to do to move on. I'm a different person than I was before Steven's death, and there's not a day that passes when I don't think of him. I've found that my pain has lessened with the passing of time, but it still rises up at unexpected moments. I think that will be true throughout the rest of my life. Take care of yourself and your family - that's what's most important now...and always. My thoughts are with you.
