A remarkable metaphor. This is with you and always will be. The way you are able to share is a reflection of your inner beauty and the toll the loss has taken on you all mixed together. It is a gift to your sister and to you that you have such a heart. You have experienced what none of us should have to bear, but you deal with it with such elegance. There is no shame in mourning forever.
