How do I deal with my loss?
I lost my 15 year old sister almost 1 year ago. it seems as though it is getting harder as time goes on. Sometimes I feel like its the end of the world for me. What can I do to help myself?

Lean on God. I don't know if you are a Christian but I can't imagine having to go through this without Christ strengthening me. It does NOT make the pain go away but it keeps you from being completely crazy.

yep--- my mom's murder is such a big media event. they just don't get that it is extraordinarily hurtful. To them it is just the biggest story. To me--- the biggest nightmare.

im so sorry to hear that. when we read whats in the paper and noticed details that we know are not fact, it makes us angry because people dont know the true story.

that is so wrong! these people dont care about anything but what makes a good story. my sister died a painless death, at least thats what we hear. i cant even imagine what you are dealing with. again, i am so sorry. that really breaks my heart to hear what happened to your mother.

Thank you Jessie. i hope things begin to get a bit easier to deal with for the both of us. its so hard though. Breanne and I were very close. I helped raise her and there is such an age difference between us that she was more then a sister to me. i would have done anything for her.

Talk about your sister to whoever will listen. Dont hold the greif in. You are young and your life is just begun. I am so sorry for your loss. Just take one thing one day at a time.Try to set goals but only one at atime. Those of us who get left behind have to figure out a way to get through the tough stuff. It's never easy and it always hurts but after awhile the pain gets different and the sadness begins to subside slowly.

Greetings Melissa, sweetheart, I am sorry that you have all of this pain over the loss of your sister. This world can really be unkind sometimes. No one else understands our pain unless they have experienced it. I am suffering the loss of my 21yr old son. He lost his life due to him taking a ride on his best friend's motorcycle! I have NOT been able to accept what has happened to my son. This site is good because it allows you to express yours thoughts and your pain to others that can understand. My son passed away 14 months ago and I still feel the same as I did the day he passed away. For me, as time goes by, my pain and my worries have increased, especially my anger. There is no text book way to grieve. My daughter, 19 yrs old, his little sis, is having a difficult time, She can NOT accept what has happened to her brother and deals with it now by pretending that he is on a long trip somewhere and that he is fine. I just allow her to deal with it in her own way and I will defend her to the max if anyone tries to tell her that she is wrong. This is her coping mechanism that keeps her from wanting to kill herself. My younger son deals with it the same way and will only speak of his big brother in the present tense. We had a big icecream cake( his favorite ) for his 22nd birthday. His cousins and some of his friends all came over to sing happy birthday, it helped me a little to get through that day because it made me feel like he is not forgotten. I am determined that no one ever forgets him. Your sister had a life and is NOT just a "memory"! She is soooo much more than that! Never let anyone forget her. When people ask you how are you doing, tell them the truth. Love Karen R.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
