Lost my sister 7 weeks ago. I was with her in hospital the last 6 days and my mind keeps replaying events. At one point when first admitted she tried to speak but couldn’t understand her. Feel guilty for that. She slept almost all the week unaware (as we thought) of what was happening. I spoke to her telling her I loved her etc. the final day her breathing became very fast and nurse asked if should give her injection to calm her I said yes! She passed within 30 mins. Feel guilty saying yes to.injection convinced helped her pass. I am struggling without her.

Hi, was she in hospital or a hospice? I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I list my sister last August and I experienced something similar where someone made a decision and I found it hard. It’s something I kept replying in my mind. It was traumatic…
How are you at the moment ? Here if you want to chat.

So sorry to hear about you loosing your sister. I unfortunately LL ost another sister over 15years ago forever missed.
She was in hospital. She went in for tests chatting and wi within 2 days she couldn’t speak and told just matter of time. Spent last 6 days/nights with her. Just keep replaying everything. Thinking did she know what was going on etc. feel can’t move forward without her.
Hoping to go back to work next week but don’t know if can be strong enough to deal with everyone’s kindness.

Hi Dee2411
You okay? How are things after going back to work? Just checking in on you.
Hi thanks for message,
I’m taking one day at a time. Ups and downs as you would expect. It’s so hard at weekends especially when I used to spend so much time together.
When I do have a good day and actually get out and do things feel a little guilty about enjoying myself. know she would want me to make most of my life but can’t help feeling guilty.

So Sorry for your loss.
I lost my sister 5 weeks ago to suicide - I found her. I can’t get the image out of my head. We had been on holiday and had got back the day before. How did I not know there was something wrong? How unhappy must she have been. We were very close and did everything together- feel like I let her down. I miss her so much.
