About Me:
I am a preschool teacher in Denver Colorado. I am about to graduate with my masters in Educational Psychology in May (2013). My parents are coming for my graduation and it is bringing up a lot of painful memories of losing my sister six years ago.I am grateful for the times we had, and am also grateful for the life experience I have gained in the six years since her passing, but I still struggle with the loss of my blood sister. I have many great friends who have helped me through these years and have never seen a counselor about the pain I endure almost daily. I hope to find some comfort here seeing that others have gone through what I go through every day of my life.
About my Loss:
I was very close with my sister though we lived in different cities. She was 3 and 1/2 years my junior and still lived with our parents when she passed. She left my house very late in the night on December 14th so she could go Christmas shopping with our mom. At the time I lived in a very rural area of TN while I was in college. I had chosen not to have a phone at the time and I awoke to my best friend at my door and she had come to tell me that my sister had died. My parents could obviously not get in touch with me, so she had to deliver the message. She drove me to my parents house about an hour from where I lived and the next three days I lived in oblivion. It was very hard to understand and accept that my sister had died in a car accident. I wanted to blame it on so many things, but knew that was not going to help. I have worked hard to improve my life over the last six years and now live in Colorado and I am about to get a masters degree. Sometimes I am not sure how I have gotten this far when I know I am plagued so many times by this loss.
