My sister died two years ago this Thursday. I'm living back at home now, finishing school. The room where my mother found my sister is right next to mine. I am trying to get through this week, and my mom is a mess right now. I feel like the past 2 years she has been mourning in a way that doesn't let me mourn at all. Everytime I get sad or break down about it, I end up consoling my mother. I am trying to lift it up to God, but I feel like the better I think I feel this week, the bigger the explosion will be throughout the week. My boss I know will be looking for it tomorrow, my schedule is so hectic I don't have time to think, but I just wish I had someone to talk to about my sister. There aren't a lot of people who have lost their sister or brother around here where I live. My Greifshare group seems to be people who have lost their children. It is such a different kind of pain when it's my sister, I just KNOW it. It's this lost of history, the one person on the planet that knows what the stories mean, we were schlepped back and foth between our parents for years, we moved to different states together. I have lost that one copnnection in my life, and who do I talk to now?
With all of this, my mom is still so sad. I DON'T bring it up to her EVER because she falls apart, but then I get chastised for not missing her as much. This week is so hard. She died on my brothers (step) birthday, who didn't really know or care about her much, but he is adamant about his birthday about being about him (read my journals to get the 411 on that situation).
The tighter the lid, the bigger the explosion. I know thats true. It's just, where do I go to explode??? What do I do to get my family through this week? How do I get through this week?
To top it all off, we almost lost lur home last week due to the SD fires. It has truly been one stressful situation after another it seems. I need it to stop. I need the positive to shed some light/ I know the positive is that we didn't lose out home, it's just it is just ONE THING after another!!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I'm glad you didn't lose your home but still...way too traumatic. Take care.
I know how you feel as when I was in Grief Share here in my town no one in the group had lost a child, just mainly spouses or mothers.
As a man I didn't have anyone at all to talk to at all and I wish this site was available over 2 and a half years ago.
I think you will find others here who have lost a sister who can identify with your loss. Please seek them out and talk to them about how you feel and it will bring healing. Your mother should do the same with others who have lost a child; she can talk with me if she wants. It really helps to talk to others who understand and who you can vent to.
I will say a prayer for you and your family today.
God Bless You,
Tim (Jenae's Dad)
