Subject: Cannot find my "new" normal

Author: No name (lost)

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:36:54 02/03/09 Tue I am just looking for some advice about how to adjust to this life with my brother gone. We lost him almost five years ago and I still cannot find a "new" or "normal" direction in my life. Does anyone understand this feeling?

Date Posted: 12:57:04 02/17/09 Tue Hi, My sister died six and a half years ago, and in some ways I am still trying adjust to life without her also. I was 21 years old and in college when she died, and I spent the first couple of years just trying to get through college and grad school and trying to keep my parents from falling completely apart. I hate it when people ask me how many siblings I have - she was my only sibling, but I still don't think of myself as an only child after having a sister for 21 years. I am still trying to figure out how to deal with this loss without letting it control my life. I don't want to forget her, but at the same time I want to be able to live my life to the fullest and be happy. I don't really have any advice for you right now, just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
