My sister and her husband recently got married (last march), due to immigration problems here in Canada (but of course they love eachother). Shortly after their wedding my sister became pregnant with Gabriel, my nephew.
Since her husband cannot legally work here, they're all packing up and moving to the states. They've said that they would like to move back in a year to a year and a half, but now they don't really know when or if they actually will. This has been completely devastating to me and my family. My sister and I are best friends, and I don't know how I'm supposed to cope with losing her. I've always pictured us raising our children together and us being apart of eachothers life for the rest of our lives, but since her marriage and her their baby... all of this is slipping away from me. I just can't picture my life without having her physically present. How do people deal with this? What can I do to make this easier to cope with?

Sisters are meant to get married and become a part of another man's life, she has her own kids and she is needed full time to concentrate on her husband and her kids.
This is natural, please do not interfere with nature to keep your feelings. It is best to let go of her.
Moreover, just physical seperation is no big deal, did you hear the saying : Absence makes the heart grow more fond, so do not worry you will still be fond of sister, MOBILE phone technology has made it possible for us all to talk to each other from where ever we are, you will always have her wise input in your life.
Sometimes it is better to let go of people who has other obligations, it is healthy for you , you will learn to grow stronger and become more self reliant.

It is seldom that you see this love between sisters and or brothers(since I don't know who wrote this question). It is a good thing, but in fact both of you need to live your own lives, separate from each other. The fact that you expected to raise the children together and always be together is not something that you should dismiss just yet. You don't know for sure if she will return or if you would decide to move to the United States. Nothing is impossible. Because I think the fact of raising the children together and the entire family is something that is desired by families that love each other. No one knows what the future will bring. So don't loose hope. Life sometimes makes you leave one place to end up in the same place later on. Life is funny like that. And also, if God doesn't put you two together again, in the same town. Imagine the adventures you will have visiting each other. It would be like being in heaven, being able to see each other, comparing things about the children and talking about life itself. You have good sentiments, and if you were my family member I would treasure you and hold you in my heart forever. God bless you all.
