Hi I lost my sister to Suicide a month ago really struggling to carry on and cope
I’m so sorry for the loss of your sister and in such tragic circumstances. Would it help you to write down here more about how you feel? We may not have experienced the same loss but we know grief and sometimes just having someone listen who understands it can be a release.
Please do talk to your doctor, too, if you feel like you’re not coping. They can direct you to the right support.

Hello @Lills51,
I can see that you’re new to the community. I hope you find it to be a support to you, but I am so sorry for the loss of your sister that brings you here.
You say you are struggling to cope, so I wanted to share some sources of support that can help right now.
- Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide offer support to people over 18 who have been affected by suicide. They have a supportline on 0300 111 5065 and run support groups nationally.
- Support after Suicide has a list of local and national support.
You might also want to explore our Online Bereavement Support, where you find our Grief Guide self-help platform, and how to access our Online Bereavement Counselling.
As @AirstripCat says, please do think about talking to your doctor for support. Remember that the Samaritans are always there too on 116 123 / jo@samaritans.org. If you feel like you might harm yourself, it’s really important to get urgent help. Please call 999 or go to your nearest A&E if you don’t feel safe. You matter.
Take care,
Seaneen
