Coping with Death
Coping with death: the basics - Relationships - need2know
Coping with the death of my sister has taken me threw stages. But my stages seem to revolve in the same vicious cycle. Pain, numbness and guilt.
One then the other, it starts over again. I've begone to get use to it like it's a part of my life. Although things don't seem to be looking up, I know they are. My sister was special and loved and the loss of her should not easily be forgotten. So written in these blogs and finding out information does help me.
Hope it help some one else.

ABC 13 - Murdered Sisters Remembered
ABC 13 - Murdered Sisters Remembered
The turmoil all around the world, is so very unbelievable. With the link above is a news article of a father killing his three girls over the weekend of August 29th, 2007. This so much reminds me of my sister, who was killed by someone she loved and was too young to go.
Still full of life and taken. I'm sure those girls where going to grow up and blossom into wonderful, productive and loving flowers. But I'm believing in that plan, that this is all for a reason. Cause I have a sister that is gone. And she never got to blossom to her full potential and I wanted to see her get to that point so bad.
In the remembrance of the three young girls who lost there lives, you are loved and will never be forgotten!

Can only imagine the Pain
I can only imagine the many who have went or who are going what I am now. It seems so unbearable. I personally would like to say that I am here for anyone who needs some one with that understanding.
Losing a loved one like I did gets me to thinking about so many things. And I look for guidance from a lot of places to keep me grounded. My sister memories, my mother, my daughter, my boyfriend, my prayer book and it all helps me to keep sane.

Thank you Lea
I know things aren't in the best of situations, but Lea was so good to me. I realize that although she is gone I find myself saying thank you to her a lot. She has in so many ways affected my life. With her generosity, her caring nature and the many words and memories she has left behind.
Damn, she was special. And a person who would want to take that from this earth had to be out there mind. But I surely wish I had known or really saw that craziness. There was nothing I wouldn't do for my sister. Especially when it came to her life!
Thank you Lea for being you!

I swear there are so many twists and turn in my sisters death. I think I will never rest about the situation. It's funny how life is and you find out the fuck up disturbing shit after your only sister is taken away from you.
It was not 30 minutes before my sister had called my mom about the situation that had been occurring, that my mom had sat me down by the computer to show me about the missing lady on the Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation Website.
Well see the thing about this is that the man who killed my sister had a baby mother that went missing 7 yrs ago. With out a trace. He reported her missing 4 days after her disappearance. And when the police came asking this ex-con for answers, his family some how got the whole investigation shut down. Now you tell me how that happens?
So this women Latoya Thomas
just goes missing, without a trace and that's it. Then her boyfriend goes and gets with my sister. And the two women look very similar. 7 yrs later he kills my sister now, you draw your own conclusions, I have minds. To much of a coincidence if I say so myself. But you couldn't tell his family that.
.
This is something straight out a movie flix. Crazy!

Spunky she was!
My thoughts, memories and happiness lyes with Lea. I see her face every where I go. The remembrance of her is haunting me. It's like I can't enjoy myself. I'm continuously thinking of what she might be doing if she were here. What she would be calling to tell me on this day. The gossip, the new scope, what she bought, what event is coming up, when she was going in to get her hair done, etc. Damn, she was a life, a charismatic one! Nothing can replace her spunk for life and how she enjoyed it.
I wish I was holding on to the spunk, that enjoyment that she had. But I seem to be fading into the background of what has become.

At the grave with family members, remembering her birth day!
It was an experience yesterday. The tears didn't really flow for me, just still in shock that she is gone. Lea loved her birthday so much, celebrating another year of growth and beauty. It's hard to even think she is 6 ft under and we were sitting right on top of her! Now all I can think about is how to make her burial plot the best, ever!

Chilling website message from murdered sisters: 'If you died, then I'd die' | the Daily Mail
Chilling website message from murdered sisters: 'If you died, then I'd die' | the Daily Mail
Two sisters where found dead in there home June 15, 2007. 3 days before my sisters death. The suspect is the mother.
These girls seem to be very close. Seem to have went threw a lot in there young lives. Something that I am familiar with when it comes to me and my sister. We were close, even though years apart. We went through so much in our lives, you would think it would have been over so that we could see each other be truly happy. But I know she is in a happier place.

Catch 22
I wonder if things were the other way around. If I had got killed how would she be able to deal. Lea was very emotional. Not like we all aren't. But we all had a place in are small family. Mom is mom our teacher. Lea was our fashionista, designer, remember of all dates big or small and emotional spirit. I am the tech no guru, informations giver, and give it to you like it is.
I couldn't her imagine her going threw this. Her fragile self. Lea was to much of a girlie, girl. Not to say I'm handling it well, especially if it was the same circumstances. But at the same time I'm glad she doesn't have to go threw this, but unhappy that she had to go threw that. I guess it's a catch 22!

Until I see you again-Poem
Days and nights,
I cry,
wishing you were still alive,
hearing your sweet voice again,
would be the ultimate,
the pain I have inside,
will never be disguised,
for your life,
was worth more,
to me,
and you brought,
joy to me,
now to know your gone,
its hard to move on,
and when we meet again,
I can only wait until then,
I love you Lea!

Remember
Remember, shit I want to forget this every happen. When will this nightmare end? I hate the fact of her being gone and I have to relive it everyday! I'm sick of crying, I'm sick of the silent depression, I'm sick of knowing this isn't a dream and she is not coming back.
I don't want to forget her, just want to be with her, around her, hearing her heels click up the stairs, her smart and sassy remarks, rouge lips with a kool-aid smile, and her greedy appetite.
Hear My Cry, Lord.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. PSALM 34:6
Tears can fall during joyous occasion such
as a wedding or the birth of a child, as well as
when painful things-like stubbing your toe or
having a tooth extracted-occur. Then again,
tears can be prompted by sadness such as
==going through a divorce or losing a loved one.
Shedding tears is nothing to be ashamed of.
In fact, crying is evidence that you are human
and that you have feelings. The important thing
is having someone close by who understands your tears.
Christ Jesus cried at the report of the death
of Lazarus. His tears may have been an expression
of sadness at the death of His friend, or they
could have represented His joy in knowing
Lazarus would soon be brought back to life.
He may also have cried over the unbelief or lack of
faith that was evident in those around Him.
So, go ahead and cry. Cry when you are
happy. Let the tears fall when you are sad.
God has promised to be with you through
everything you face.

Was her fate decided?
Was her fate decided?
In some ways I'm sure it was! I figure this because of the way she lived her life. She almost lived it like it was going to be short, if I think back on things. The stories she has told me, the things she has done. See my sister has already almost died and been brought from the light of the pearly gate you might say. When she was 21 she had almost met her maker, when our brother Joey intervened and gave her CPR. She was having an aneurysm. Luckily it got caught in time. But she had brain surgery and her life seem to go pretty fast after that. I because the older sister and she becoming the younger sister in a since. But for a reason, she only had 16 more years to live.
She cared, gave and did as much as 2 and 3 people. So to me in some odd way this was meant to be. People remember her because of her tender nature, outgoing spirit and giving soul. And the truth to that it that most people are never remember and not especially in such a special light in such a short time.

This World Is Frenchy!
I have seen so much in my life and pretty much figured I'd seen the worst I was going to see in my life time. Drugs, disease, death, violence, homelessness. Basically an array of everything I thought. My mom had even said to me recently "damn baby I'm sorry you haven't lived a very happy life, have you?" It was kinda hard for me to even hear her say that, but when I think of all the shit I have been threw, have seen and now my sister's death. Shit, I guess I can pretty much understand that comment. Not that I would want to be portrayed that way.
It comes down to knowing that this world is Frenchy! Like the Sims say! That is almost the best way I can describe it now. I have no father, grandmother, sister, and the list goes on.
But that being said my sister's death has been the biggest hit of them all cause of all the things I have seen and been threw, I just knew this kinda shit like this would happen!
Murder, cold blooded, damn near with witnesses, murder. They was out on a man hunt for his ass. This was more like tv, America's most wanted type, shit. But I did forget the fuck was white! And not to sound racist but don't we all have some kind of bases that we judge from.

I feel ashamed, what can I do!
There are plenty of mother's out there! Some just are that, mothers. Some go a little further, some are involved in actives, some just don't give a damn, and some are lost.But my sister was great, stupendous, spectacular in all area's! She loved her son more then life itself and was very involved in his life. She wanted him to have the best, not in clothing, but in school, life, friends, the world around him and with what she had she tried to give it to him!
But with what is going on now I know she would not be pleased. So much bullshit has happen since my sisters death, I know she is turning in her grave. Her son is not in a good place and as a sister, I can't do a damn thing. And I feel ashamed cause with all of the things I know we could have made sure something was in place before this murderous event occurred. I mean shit I didn't want my sister to die but we could have been prepared and I'm sure my sister knows that and is pointing her finger at me.
So now her son is from house to house with his father whom never gave a damn before, when my sister was alive. Now since she is dead he wants to play father only because he knows since my sister was killed by her boyfriend and she didn't file the divorce before her death. Her so called husband wants to claim a wrongful death suit.
Who the fuck is he, they weren't together. He had just got off of a restraining order that had been put on him from her. He hadn't been taking care of his son they have together. So now her son is suffering cause nothing was put in place before her death. The father has just took the son and because he house hoops we can find him.
My sister is having a fit, so am I and my mother. We are trying to do what we can and hopefully the Lord will guide the light cause Lea can't be resting in a painful situation like this. A person who is only out for greed can not succeed!

She's Dead but she was ---The Best of the Best
My sister was very giving, to the point of obsession, I think! But that is what made her such a wonderful human being, everyone got a taste of what she had to offer in this life! She has been giving to me since my birth, since she is 11 yrs my senior. And for a while it was enjoyable until it became overwhelming. I am totally the opposite of Lea, while she likes to shop, buy presents and remember peoples birthday's. I like to be in the house, figuring things out on the internet and learning how to do new things! But that made us the perfect sister pair. She did what I couldn't do well and visa versa. But Lea also loved to receive and it was so hard for me because when I thought of gifts, I thought of unique things, but it seems that Lea almost had everything so it was really hard to give her anything. To the point where I just gave up trying. Now that she is gone I regret not trying hard enough... Cause I have all the mementos that she have gave me over the years or at least the ones I've kept. She loved to give me sister books, and poetry books because I write and love poetry.

Im responsible for her death
Me and my sister were real close. Closer then I really knew or were paying attention too. Over the years we grew closer then our 11 yr separation. She told me things I don’t think I handled to well.
And in Those ways, I blame myself for her death. In confidence she confessed to me, what her murdered had confessed to her. Instead of telling somebody who could really do something about it, I just gave my opinion and kept my mouth closed just like she asked. I know that is what a good friend does, but not what a wise friend or caring sister should have.
I should have told my mother, I normally find a way to tell her everything anyway. I’m sure my sister knew that. Probably why she told me, thinking I would some how get it to my mom. Why the fuck didn't I say any thing? Would it have prevented her death? I'm not sure of anything and want get any answers now. But I sure feel like I failed this test!
