You go talk to someone. A grief counselor, a psychiatrist or even a pastor. Humans are pack animals. We’re not built to endure trauma alone. You need help. We all need help.

did it with a combination of Xanax and ambien. I dont suggest you take that route if it's offered.

I doubt it'll be offered. They've made doctors scared to write anything strong even short term

I’m so sorry, friend. I’ve been there and 10 months later just starting to see the light. The only thing that helped me was not a medical professional or counselor at all. It was a close friend who has a similar experience and being able to just vent to her anytime I needed to and vice versa. I hope you have someone to talk to. So sorry.

There are therapists that specialize in grief.

Your insurance provider may cover cost.

Made everything worse while going through strong grief. It needs to be dealt with, but dealt with in the right situations. Doing that properly will help with the sleep

I’m sorry for your loss. If you haven’t tried it already try exercise. Wear yourself out physically, then when you go to bed, read until you can’t keep your eyes open. At least try this before you start medicating, because that’s what the doctors will go to first off.

I have no idea emotionally what you're going through, but I have had multiple bad insomnia times. You are not yourself right now, get some help.

Melatonin might help a little and is not a drug.

Melatonin is a drug. In the US, it is considered a dietary supplement and is not regulated by the FDA, but it’s still a drug, and is regulated as a drug in many other countries. That’s not to say he shouldn’t use it. I’d try exercise first, though.

Have you already been through bargaining?


I don't know. I think the shock has started wearing off and it's hitting me I'm never gonna see or talk to or hear her sing the Beatles anymore. First I isolated from everyone

Sorry for your loss. I lost my brother last year to cancer. My dad passed away about a month ago. My mom has dementia too. Talk to a counselor or therapist or your pastor. Remember all the good times that you had with your sister. Talk to your friends. You have talk about your own feelings with someone. It takes time. Life is precious and life is short. Material things really don’t matter. Hope you get to feeling better and can enjoy life again soon.

I absolutely understand your anger, I am very close to all of my sisters, one I chat with almost every day. When the inevitable happens, I know I will be devastated no matter how much I prepare myself mentally. I hope you find some peace.

They will deal with you as a grieving brother and provide help. They don’t deal with real insanity in the way you’re thinking anyway. Go get their help and sleep. That adds to a vicious cycle and makes this all worse.

RIP for your sister. I hope you can find some relief from your grief and sadness.

Prayers, or just good wishes, CT. Life is a rollercoaster ride but at least the pain that you feel will create an opportunity for you to be truly empathetic with the suffering of your fellow beings. It is true, no pain, no gain.

Your Sister would very much appreciate your lamentation of her loss, as that bears relative witness to the depth of your love. But she would not want you to keep worrying and suffering.

Seek professional counsel and some (hopefully temporary) pills for your sleep, as you need that rest for timely recovery.

Be well.

I'm sorry to hear this. Losing someone very close to you just sucks the life out of you. Talk to a good friend or go see a counselor to help you sort through all of this. You need to process this.

Sorry for your loss.

Dont know if it will help you, but I had a friend pass away in 2015. I drank a 24 pack and a 5th all night by myself. It helped me think of the good times in between all the emotional crying and anger I had about losing him.

Didnt go to sleep until I finished everything. But once I did, I slept for like a day and a half.
