My Sister

by Lea Williams

Jan 20, 2016

Three months ago today I lost my sister. She was beautiful inside and out. She struggled with an addiction to pills for the longest time and it ultimately took her life. I miss her so much and it makes me angry because she should be here. I just don't know what to do.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I know this site doesn't always have a lot of activity, but it does help to read the postings and know you're not alone. There are also camps you can go to like camp kerry, for loved ones who have lost someone. I took my kids last year after they lost their dad to overdose and we are going again this year. It's especially good for kids to know they are not alone in their loss.
    I hope you are doing better now that some time has passed and they you were able to let go of some of the anger. It's a process for sure.
    Take care,
    Nikki

      Lea,

      I understand how you feel.  I lost my brother, and I just feel like you have to take things one day at a time.  Most days I am angry, and I miss him terribly, but there are times I think about how he would want me to be.  I remember he sent me a birthday card saying enjoy every moment of life.  I hope that God allows me to get there one day and I pray that you have made it there.
