It's natural to feel this pain, hun.
Maybe, though, you feel this slight [instinctual maybe] connection to your half siblings because they are a part of you, even if you don't know them.

I am sorry for your loss.
I am here if would like to talk
It hurts you because you are a loving caring person who reached out to that side of your bio family. You tried your very best and you made a connection in your heart.
Suy has a good idea...send flowers or a card...grieve b/c you have every right to feel sad.

It is understandable to feel this grief. You know there is a connection with this person even if you have never met.
