I am not only grieving for the loss of my sister, but I'm grieving for a life I once knew. I had a cystectomy Jan 7th 2010. Don't get me wrong, I have never been so glad to be rid of my sick bladder and urethra. But regardless, there is still a part of me that feels like I do not belong?
About my Loss:
My sister went into the hospital Feb 23 2010 for a very simple surgical out patient procedure. The surgeon severed an artery, she bled out so much that it killed her liver. She was transferred to Ohio State and did receive a liver, However, she died 12 days later from complications. I am so angery and I miss her so, she was my friend too. I have never experienced this kind of grief and I do not know where to turn.
Thank you so much Mary.. I just now today saw the comment, and I see that there is loads of helpful things here. Again thank you. I am finally to the point that I look forward to the day that it gets easier.
