　　I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.

 

　　大姐的逝去让我陷入难以形容的痛苦之中。

 

　　She was a walking, talking angel and my favourite person in the whole world. If someone could have asked me the worst thing that could ever happen, it would have been losing her.

 

　　在这个世界上，她是一个能走路、会说话的天使，我最喜欢的人。如果有人问我，世界上发生的最坏的事情是什么，那就是失去她。

 

　　She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.

　　The Moment Of Deliberate Choice

 

　　抉择时刻

 

　　The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees. The pain was so great and my world just looked desolate. I had no real home, no money, no job, and no friends that cared. Not one person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.

 

　　我被打击和极度的心痛击挎了。强烈的痛苦使世界在我眼中变得如此凄凉。我没有真正意义上的家，没有钱，没有工作，也没有关心我的朋友。没有一个人因我失去亲人而寄给我慰问卡。

 

　　I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.

 

　　我尝试着活下去，结果住进了医院。

 

　　I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She stayed with me all night long.

 

　　我记得，躺在病床上，看着天花板，看到姐姐美丽的面庞。她整夜守候着我。

 

　　I realised during that night that I had a choice. I could choose to end my life or I could choose to live it.

 

　　那天晚上，我意识到我可以选择。要么结束生命，要么活下去。

 

　　I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet. That I would stay and complete my journey here.

 

　　望着姐姐的眼睛，我决定不跟她走。我要留下来，走完我的生命旅程。

 

　　I also made the decision that, I wouldn’t just live any life. I would live the life that I absolutely LOVE and nothing less.

 

　　同时，我还决定，不只为生活而生活，我要完全以自己想要的方式生活。

 

　　In that moment, the clarity that descended around me was like a light shining in a dark room for the first time. As if the earth’s plates had shifted under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for the first time.

 

　　在那一刻，这一想法第一次清晰得如同一盏在黑暗闪烁的明灯。好像脚下的地球版块变换了，每一样东西在我眼前都真实得前所未有。

 

　　The Blossoms Of My Newly Chosen Life

 

　　我的生活之花重新绽放了

 

　　Since then I have begun to shape the most beautiful life for myself.

 

　　从那时起，我开始为自己塑造最美丽的生活。

 

　　I now live in an adorable stone cottage in a stunningly green, luscious region of the UK amongst woodlands and lakes.
