I wrote this the day after my sister passed away from complications to lupus.She passed away on my 21 birthday which did make it harder to deal with. But three years later on what would of been her 26 birthday my son was born 

I didn't get to say goodbye 
     Or really even ask you why
        I didn't get to hold your hand
        And tell you that I understand 
       A siblings love is sometimes hard to find 
       And I lost you in the blink of an eye 
        To a sister I hold so dear
         Close to my heart I will keep you near
         Now and then I will shed a tear
                 

               May the crossroads bring you peace, 
            and your image live in our hearts forever.

Connections to a sibling run deeper than we can understand on so many levels. So sorry for your loss. Prayers

You have a font of deep dark angry emotion, tap into it, and it will serve you well, in the most cathartic of ways....well done ..Ian
