Hi, I lost my only sister almost 2 years ago from congestive heart failure. I found her. She died in her sleep. I cannot even describe the pain that I have been through. I can't stand to really be around people anymore. I have to put on a game face at work, and by the days end, I'm exhausted. My husband completely ignores me going through my grief. He claims he don't know what to say. I have been mad at him for 2 years cause he just hasn't been there for me emotionally, then wants me to have sex with him. Anyone else's husband reacts the same way? I don't have what you would call friends, only associates. So, I'm alone a lot, and I have flashbacks from finding her all the time. I have been to a therapist, that didn't help me. I have been to grief counseling at church. That didnt help. I have tried reading bible scriptures. I never feel at peace. I'm always wound up, because I'm angry that I have to go through this alone. My mom is in another state. She and I talk everyday, and some days I don't even want to talk to her or anyone. My sis and I were very close. I cry almost everyday. And I constantly dream about her. Some days I don't want to go on. I am hurting so bad, and I'm so alone......I found this board just surfing. I send out condolences to everyone on here that has lost someone. The doctor tried putting me on anti depressants, and that didnt work either. I have no kids. I seriously need help...

I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband and his family were a total hindrance, I grieved alone and made it through anyway.

I can relate to what you are feeling andrea. I lost my sister in Aug (cancer) she was so brave and put up a valiant fight. You should try to think of waht your sister would have wanted for you. I am sure she would be unhappy if you can't communicate with your husband even though it sounds like he is standing by you. He does not want to do the wrong thing so it may seem like he is doing nothing.
My sis and I talked almost every day we had kids the same age, we partied together, we were totally best friends. I love her kidsand want to be strong but honestly I feel so angry that she is gone, and then get guilty when I pick out other people I think would make life better for everyone if they were dead instead of her. I also was sad because of her illness I couldn't talk to her about "my" problems or worries . It left a big void of someone who always understood me. that what we both miss for sure. I know this is strange but I don't feel she left me I feel colon cancer "took her" and that for sure sucks. I am sorry I don't know if this helped, if you need to talk I will listen
I wish you the best , and hope we can get through the holidays with out bringing other people we love down.
