I lost my sister suddenly and unexpectedly 15 months ago. As time goes on my grief seems to get worse. I have no interest in anything, no purpose in life. I have seen GP and been taking medication for depression and anxiety for 6 months now. Also seeing a counsellor but nothing seems to help.
Has anyone else experienced this ? Any advice to help me? Thank you
Hello @SL23,
I’m so sorry to hear about your sister. It sounds as though things are very difficult at the moment and you are looking for support.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. You might already be familiar with our other Online Bereavement Support services, but if not, you can find out more about our Online Counselling service, our Grief Coach text support service, and our Grief Guide self-help tools by visiting the link.

Take care - keep reaching out,

Hi @SL23
I’m so sorry to hear about your Sister. It’s so surreal trying to accept the death of a sibling you loved so much. My Sister passed away 7 weeks ago after fighting bowel cancer. Although her death was expected for around 6 months before she died, the end was incredibly painful and cruel.
I keep busy at work and with my family but I cry every day. So many things catch my breath and bring me right back to the day she died and all the suffering she endured before that. I know this will get easier but it’s brutal. I miss her so much as she was my best friend and only sibling.
I hope you have a supportive family and friends. I know you are further down this road than me but I don’t think the pain ever relents. I don’t have good or bad days. What starts as a positive day can dissolve into despair and tears at any moment and I’m just trying to let it happen.
Please be kind to yourself x
