Very sorry to hear. A heart attack at 40? If you don’t mind me asking, was she otherwise healthy?
Prayers sent to you and yours.

Sorry for your loss. Go spend time with your Dad.
Take the time ASAP and write down all of your remenberances of your family and especially special moments with your sister. Share with your other family members. Then take this book out in the future at special times to share it all over again.

What kind of shite company let’s someone go for missing a week of work because of a close family member passing?

Go sit and talk to someone. Anyone. Doesn't need to be a specialist or a professional. Or keep talking to us.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my brother 5 years ago. I think about him all the time, and miss talking to him. I have a sister with cancer, and we are unsure what is going to happen there.
Love your families while you have them.

Also try and get some exercise in. Easier said than done but will help calm your mind to where you burn some of that anxiety and pain. Make you stronger for you to be there for your dad.

Prayers for you and the Fam Cold!

Grief support groups can be very helpful. I know people who have benefited from them and they were not the type who would have ever went to see a therapist under any other circumstances.

Sorry for your loss.
I lost my older brother 5 years ago….i still cry when I think about him missing out on watching his son and daughter grow older.
People say that time heals things…i can’t say that for me …i say time changes how i grieve.
Talk to friends …be vulnerable to grief
It sounded like you were close to your sister- the last 20yrs or so, my brother and i drifted apart …i regret that

First I want to give you my condolences. I lost my younger brother in '09 and my older sister in '21. Both of their deaths were unexpected and I have to say the grief never goes away. Please go be with your dad!! I know first hand what kind of pain you're dealing with but speaking for myself, mine was nothing compared to witnessing the grief my parents went through having lost their children. I know it's hard right now but you'll have better days ahead. I think everyone should cherish the limited time we have on this earth with our loved ones because you never know when that time will end. Trust me, you don't want to have any regrets when they're no longer here.

We never want to recall Coglin’s Law when grieving but after a certain point it’s vitally important.

Sorry for your loss, brother. I just got to BR, spent a few days with mine, and now she has the Covid. She is hnging tough so far.
I hope you are able to spend time with those close to you, and just keep working with them, collectively, to keep the wolves away.
Your sister was wonderful to you because she loved and respected you. You can call on her now to help you through the rough patch, by using her memories and kind words.
Good luck.

I lost both of my brothers in a car wreck in '97. One was 30, one was 20, I was 28. I had done everything with the oldest brother. We were best friends and went everywhere. I never got to say goodbye. I never got to say I love you. Everywhere I went or everything I did reminded me of one of them.
About 6 months later, I had a dream. My oldest brother came into the lobby of the hotel where I was working. I told him, "Dude, where have you been? So much has happened. Mike Ditka drafted Danny Wuerrfel, Troy Davis and even Nicky Savoie from LSU!" He said, "Ok we'll talk about that, but first, I wanna tell you I love you." We hugged. It felt so real. I woke up abruptly, but I got to see him one more time.
Ever since then, the acute pain was gone, but the loss has lingered/simmered just below surface level, even 26 years later. Whenever I have a Denny or Daniel dream, I look at it like I had another visit. It's always great seeing them again.

I wish I had the words friend. The loss of a sibling is almost unbearable at a young age.
Please give yourself some grace.

Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.

I suggest group therapy with others who are grieving. May need to contact a therapist who conducts such groups. It can be very healing to express your grief in person to others and have them listen to you. You need healing and crying is also a healing experience.
