hi ginger, i am so so sorry for your painful loss. when i lost my child last year, the most frustrating things were what other people said. i got SO MANY "she's in a better place". i know people say they're only trying to help and dont really know what to say. but they say stupid things, that yes, REALLy dont help our pain. yes, a part of you is with your sister, but left a part of herself with you too. you will feel that. a month is very recent, and its still very raw for you. its the time when the pain is unbearable. i agree with laura, seek professional help, maybe even an anti depressant immediately, to help you through the initial months. love jan

Ginger, please accept my condolences on the loss of your sister. There are no words I can say to comfort you and ease your pain. I can tell you this--grief is a very difficult and heartwrenching process. And yes, she did take a part of you with her but remember, you have so much of her within your heart. Your family is broken but all you can do now is take it one day at a time and allow yourself to grieve...healing will find its way to you. Please seek professional help if you have not already done so; you will also find the members here very supportive and caring. I know I did; and remember to be kind to yourself.
Sincerely,
Laura
