Six months after Liam Payne’s death: his sister shares moving words

Six months after the tragic death of one-director Liam Payne (1993-2024), his sister Ruth Gibbins shares a moving and a private photo.

On October 16, the singer died at the age of 31 after falling from the balcony of his hotel in the Argentine Buenos Aires from the third floor. At the time of his death, traces of alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants were found in his blood. In an emotional contribution to social media, his sister posts loving memories of the musician and admits: “Life without you is impossible.”

“Six months, half a year without you?!”, She begins the text that she posts next to an intimate photo with her brother from teenage days. “My head still cries out for you. Every morning, when I wake up, I feel like I was under water and snap for air that never comes to redeem me.” A life without him is impossible, “I only exist for the time being”. She learns to laugh in the right places or to smile, “but it’s exhausting because I just want to speak to you”.

The grief of her severe loss seems to write digitally from the soul: “In the few moments when I allow myself to feel love and not just loss, I can really smile about memories of us, like last year, when we curmed out of laughter when we tried to do something that we had seen on YouTube. But the memories are always connected with sadness.”

Sometimes she hears him as he laughs at her when she runs around in the film “Ghost – Message of Sam” (1990) and looking for him everywhere. “But I see you, you keep appearing in different ways to get myself back on the right path,” Gibbins is certain. She will never stop doing everything she can for him.

“I miss you loudly, quietly and in all the moments in between. I love you so much more than these words or my tears can express it, but I know that you know,” she ends. For now she will now meet him in her dreams.

Payne was buried in a moving ceremony on October 31 after his body was transferred to Great Britain.
