My heart hurts

I raised my sister from the time she was a year old. I got word that she was missing on September 15th and made a beeline for her on the 16th. I got the notification the evening of the 18th. I'm struggling to cope with the loss of her and the crushing pain in my heart. She's far too young to be gone and I'm not ready. I know I have no choice but to be ready but it is such a struggle to get through the day without her. How do I do this?? I didn't know this kind of pain existed.

I learned in my griefshare.org group that you may have to take everything moment by moment when the grief is too much. Sometimes doing the next thing is just getting out of bed for water. Your broken heart is in my prayers right now

I feel so shattered. I know it sounds odd to most people but she was my first true love. Sometimes I think of her and laugh but most times I think of her and just cry. I am so lost without her.

I tried to leave a response the first time but DS did the weird eat your post thing.

I am so sorry about this. I think this kind of missing person and all the time you had to wait to know what was happening is very hard. Yes, the pain of this situation is very hard. We feel strongly and have deep memories.

You loved her so it hurts more. They say the bigger the love, the deeper the grief. And what happened to her is especially hard.

My friend whose young husband died about 18 months ago found great help in grief share groups. She was reluctant to go but several people pushed her and I see her healing now. She loved her husband so deeply and he did everything for the family and she had to basically start over life wise.

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
