Hello everyone,
My older sister passed away just under a month ago and I’m struggling to process all of the emotions and feelings. I’ve lost people before but this feels different, it feels like the other half of me is missing now. We may have had the odd argument or dispute when we were younger, but she was still someone I loved dearly. I know the arguments were never serious but I feel guilty all the same. I used to get nightmares a lot but they stopped for a bit but since my sister passed away my nightmares have come back. Some of them are about my sister, but only 2 of them were relating to her passing away. I’ve also started getting nightmares about random things not relating to my sister at all. Is that normal??
