Hi There,
This is my first posting here. I just need to talk about the passing of my sister.
She died last February 7th of throat cancer complicated by anorexia nervosa. I watched her stubbornly refuse help for many years. She has a daughter and my anger was ongoing. She used alcohol and drugs heavily giving her daughter second place always.
She was 4 1/2 yrs younger then me and watching her kill herself for years was Hard to do. So many layers in that situation to my heart. I loved her so much but find my spirit angry. How does one deal with these feelings?

Anger is one of the stages of grief. It is normal. I am so sorry that you lost your little sister to addiction. It is heartbreaking to watch someone you love destroy themselves and refuse sobriety. Be angry. It is okay.
Learn about the stages of grief as it may give you some insight as to your feelings.
My best to you.

I understand every word you said. My sister left behind 3 beautiful girls and I’m so angry that she created such turmoil and is no longer here to fix it. It’s so complicated and isolating because no one understands.

My heart breaks for you both, skc and Lee, your nieces, your family and mostly, your sisters. No one wants to be an addict. No one dreams of growing up to be an addict and live that chaos and pain only to meet an early death. It is a tragedy on so many levels.
I pray you find a way to live in peace, forgive your sisters and help to raise your nieces. They need you, Mom’s sister.
Much love.
