I lost my sister in October. She was an alcoholic and succumbed to the demons she had. It was sudden and a massive shock. I’ve held it together for the sake of our parents. Don’t get me wrong I’ve gone through all the stages. I don’t feel angry anymore but I still can’t seem to get round my head she has died. It’s been 5 months and still want to call or message but know I can’t. I cry still when I think of a memory and occasional still feel angry that shes gone. We scattered he ashes last weekend and I thought I’d feel better but have gone back to the bit sleeping and vivid dreams.

Hello @AmyR1 ,

I’m so sorry to hear about your sister. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
