Thanks man. I appreciate you looking at helping me when struggling.
We have some trips planned and stuff. My family itself is fine, my bro and my mom are just struggling and no matter what I do, I can’t help.
<~~@gmail.com.
You are a good man and I hope the same peace that comes my way comes your way as well.
Sent you a email man! That's a really difficult dynamic to lose for you, your brother and mom. Do any of them paint? I ask because oddly enough right before my sister died, I kept mentioning to my mom we should start painting. My sister was a huge artist and I plan on picking up paints Thursday. Maybe that'd help yall heal together by all of you focusing energy into something that allows the soul to express itself. Then ya know you could take a lil bit of paint and accidentally give one of em a boop on the nose for a real life artistic effect! Lmao. I pray it'll get better for yall dude. You seem like a good son and brother.

God Bless. May she rest in peace. I can feel your pain though your text. Brings tears to my eyes.

Condolences for your loss, that sucks.
Prayers.

I sure hate that about your sister’s passing. That type of thing is such a gut punch. I lost my Mom in 2017 to leukemia. She was helping me in a very instrumental way raise my daughter as her Mom had passed and had issues before that…it was a terrible blow. It will take a good three months or so to shake the fog enough to be any good to anyone. I will be in prayer for your family! But hang in there, it doesn’t go away but the extreme initial burden eases a bit with some time

Prayers and condolences.
Hang in there. Although the sadness will never leave, in time, the pain will slowly give way to a lifetime of great memories.

I just finished reading your post. First I am terribly sorry for your loss. I know that words don’t do any justice. I will most definitely say a prayer for you and your family. I lost my wife in June and have often asked why? I will never know the answer to why. I am not sure if you are religious or not but God has helped me tremendously. My advice is to take it one day at a time. In the beginning I often cried out to God and asking him why? I screamed through my tears “God I don’t understand what is going on but I trust you.” You are in the early stages of grief and everyone grieves differently. I know you might not be ready to hear it but I promise you it does get easier. Next week will make 8 months since she passed and I can assure you it feels like yesterday. I will never forget this saying, “ you don’t move on you just move forward” I also joined a grief share group as well and that has helped. If you ever need to talk or anything. Just know that I am here for you and I am sure others are as well. You aren’t alone in this.

Lost mine also.
But, mine was early on…….it gets easier but takes time. I think of her often but not as much as you will. I’m sorry brother.

I fricking hate this. I just want my sister back.
I want my sister back as well. She passed away 54 years last December. I miss her. She was the one person in our family that I always went to for advice about life and love. She helped me get through a broken heart. She was my big sister.
I will see my sister again, and you will see your sister too. But in a beautiful place with no more tears, sorrow, or aching heart.
My sister's legacy to me? Love unconditionally. And, as you said, tell the people close to you that you love them. Remind then constantly of your devotion and love. They need to hear that now, especially now.
My sister was always there for me, for us. So, after her death and a long mourning period, I decided to simply live the remainder of my days in service to my family, wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
My granddaughter decided to name my great-grandchild after my sister. And like my sister, my great-granddaughter has a happy disposition and cute giggle. Just like my sister. A happy sister, a happy granddaughter.
Your family needs you, especially your father. Your father needs someone to talk to. Just be there for him; let him pour out all that pain. Cry with him if need be. Yes, cry.
And above all, have faith that you will see your wonderful sister again someday in a happier place.
And one more bit of advice. Reach out to the man upstairs. I did, and it helped me to heal.
Thank you for sharing your heartache with us. Know that I pray for healing in your family, especially for your father. Losing a child is just about the worse experience a parent can go through.

I am 5 pages late to respond, but I completely understand how you feel. It's going to be hard as hell to cope for a while. I lost my brother in 2009 to suicide. He was my best friend. We talked everyday. We spent a lot of time together as adults and did tons of things together. He was just my best f'n friend and he was my big brother. His death broke me, and i tear up and cry as I type this to you. It's fricking hard, and I cried for years because all I wanted was to have is my brother back. I wanted him back so badly. I heard his voice everywhere, everything reminded me of him and the enormous hole that was left in my sould when he died. It's taken a lot of crying and a lot of therapy to get over it. Time passing has helped. And that is all I can offer you. Nothing you are experiencing is unordinary. It's just going to take time to get to a place where you can get back to your regular life. It will get better, and I will pray for you. It's a struggle, but you will get there and you will be OK.

Much love, bro. If you’re able maybe you and your dad should take a mini vacation. It could help to get away for a bit.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. For now, suggest just taking things 1 day at a time. If you aren't already praying, I also suggest praying. Praying won't bring her back (and that's not what you should pray for). Pray for your sister's soul and for comfort for yourself and your father. I'll be praying for you and your father.

Dang. Praying for you and your family that you may find peace.

Try some friends that knew you and your sis. Talking can heal things. Stay strong. Sorry for your loss. But how about thinking about what your sis would say to you here. She most likely want you to keep moving and not stay depressed and take care of your dad… she would want you to be strong.

The OT is full of a-holes, but I've never seen a thread where people need support or advice go unnoticed or without actual real life responses.
Kinda surprised at the downvotes on the first page. We’re here to support our baws and bawettes who are down right?

I’m so sorry, man. I lost my only sibling, my brother at 42. I can tell you the grief fades and the joy of your time with them grows larger in your mind. You will heal and reach acceptance. Just probably not any time soon. In the meantime, just go through your feelings, experience the grief now and be there for your family.
RIP .

So sorry to see this. She would want you to remember her, but regain your life and move forward.
Never forget her and keep her in yur prayers. Pray that God will give you strength and peace to help you get back to living.
We need to remember that God is eternal. She is with Him now and someday you will be with her and your loved ones, too. Take comfort in that, knowing that she would want you to go forward with life.

I truly feel for you. My mom passed away a month ago. I have taken a leave of absence to get a handle on my grief. It is not an easy road. Try talking to your doctor. Your meds might need to be adjusted. Also, highly recommend getting counseling. I’ve always said I don’t need a councilor, but took the courage to book an appointment with one.

Hoova, I can't tell you how much your words just spoke to me and made me sit back up in my chair before I go to bed. I've always said "Your will be done", but accepting that when something like this happens is the hardest thing. I'm not mad at God, I just wish he would've given us one last time to see each other before he took her. I live close to Monroe and haven't had much luck finding grief support groups yet so I'd appreciate all the links and stuff you and anyone else has. Thank you so much for that reply. I really needed to see this before I try to get some rest.
All of you, you are all incredible, caring, benevolent people and you show it every time a poster has something happen like my sister's passing. That is how we can all show love and make our world a kinder one. Thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Pass it on.
