Helping my mum find happiness again

This page has been created to help my mum find her smile again.
My name is Jade and my beautiful twin sister was killed in a car accident on 11.12.2014. I would like to tell you about my sister but also about my mum who has shown nothing but strength in her life up until this point – now I watch her struggle daily and I can’t stand it.
My sister Hope was 17 when she died. Hope and I were twins. My mum bought us from the age of 1 to the age of 5 by herself as a single parent. Then she met my step dad who we shared our life with up until 2010. Tragically my step dad passed away and my mum continued to bring us up on her own from that day on.
Mum has always been the strong one - She’s made sure we had every opportunity in life – her sacrifices in life have made sure we both matured into the best people we could be. I’m thankful to have her as my mum and I love her. What she’s had to experience in her life is just unfair. No one should lose their husband and then her daughter. I just wish I could make it all easier for her.
My twin sister and I were very close – mum brought us up to have each others backs – to support each other and above all be best friends as well as sisters.
Hope was an incredible sister - I admired her sense of freedom. She was one of the funniest people I know – always laughing and make the best of any situation. To Hope having a good time came easy. She surrounded herself with good people who enjoyed the same sense of fun and zest for life.
This is a facebook page my mum set up to share Hopes story.

Hope left home on the 11th December last year to go Christmas shopping with friends. The car she was a passenger in was being driven twice the legal speed limit by her friend. It hit a tree and she died at the scene of the accident. This all happened about 5 minutes from where we live. This tree is a reminder every day of how my sister died. Its just devastating. Its a two minute drive from where my mum goes to work everyday.
Not only has my mum experienced loss before but losing her daughter (my twin sister) has just broken her.
I hear her crying herself to sleep at night and I worry that I can’t take away her pain. She puts on a brave face around everyone and carries on but I know deep down she is struggling. She struggles daily living in the house we all called home. Hope loved where we lived – she filled our family home with love and laughter. Sadly those memories are just too painful for my mum to bear. She can’t even go into my sisters bedroom. Every day she wakes she’s filled with sadness and the reality that Hopes no longer here.
My mum has had to face the reality that she can no longer live in this house. She’s put the house on the market and is prepared to pack up and move away. She knows deep down she can’t heal living in the house that was once filled with Hope. I feel the same.
I’d like to fundraise some money for mum. To help her with legal and real estate fees. I’d like to be able to make it a bit easier for her. She works hard every day – trying to make ends meet for us to have a fresh start. She deserves this move and new start. If you can help in any way – Thank You. I’d love to help her smile again without worry. Thank you for your support, Jade
