Hey everyone. Hope you are all well and woke up feeling a bit more positive.
I found out on Monday this week that my older sister, who resides in America, sadly passed away. Even though she was far away, we were really close. Im not close to family over here due to other reasons, so I feel really alone in my grief and just don’t know what to do with myself.
Hello @JWebber87,
I’m so sorry to hear about your sister. I can see you’ve posted in Losing a sibling, so I hope that being able to connect with others who’ve lost a sibling can help you to feel less alone.
Please know that there is lots of support available if you need it. We have an advice page on losing a brother or sister here:
If you need extra support, as well as the online community, we offer a range of online bereavement support services that might be helpful to you. You can explore these at sueryder.org/support.
Take care and keep reaching out 
So sorry to hear about your sister, must be difficult being so far, are you in contact with anyone over there, are you involved? I hope you are kept informed and it helps with your grief, reach out if you need to talk x
Hi, thank you for your msg. Im not that close to family here which is making it so much harder. I have another older sister who hasn’t said anything to me, not even that it’s happened! Im having to get bits of information through my mum who gets it through her mum (who is 94).
It is very messed up and doesn’t help with the process at all. I hope you are ok?
I’m so sorry for your loss and know how you feel. I lost my little sister 4 weeks ago tomorrow having cared for her since September. The loss I feel is immense and find it difficult to concentrate on anything at the moment.
Sending you a big hug from one sister to another
Im so sorry for your loss.
I find myself being ‘ok’ for a bit and then randomly breaking down, which is a natural reaction I guess. I do try and remind myself that now my sister is at peace and can feel no more pain.
I have support from my wife but that has slowly disappeared and everything around me seems to be back the way it was before it happened, as if nothing has happened at all.
