Hello everyone, Unfortunately, I'm in need of this support. My sister passed away. She had an aneurysm the day before Thanksgiving. After another bilateral stroke a week later she held on untill the week before Christmas. She was my best friend. I'm numb and overwhelmed with confusion. I'm not sure what I'm feeling. Just needed to talk to someone.
(((hugs)))
Talk as much as you need! People here get it, and when we don't we get it that we don't get it.
We all process our losses differently, and that is OK. It just means that there is not a one size fits all recovery method. What works well for me may fail for you, and vice versa.
So tell us a bit about your sister, if you are ready.
I also lost mine close to the holidays, and that makes the loss that much worse. When you should be celebrating and feeling happy, you are going through the worst time of your life. Come back here anytime you need. It's good we have places like this when we have nowhere else to turn. It's so hard, I know.
I cannot express how sad I was to hear of your struggle, and the pain that must be present for you at this time. I am also new to this group.
My father died just over 8 years ago (anniversary just passed about 10 days ago)... he had an aneurysm as well. I still struggle with it for various reasons, although time has certainly made certain pieces less sharp. I hope that this group can help you find some peace, even just for the moment that you are writing your feelings down.
