Miss my sister more then ever

My lovely sister died five years ago, I'm missing her more now than I did when it first happened. I had counselling and was doing ok but I have a lot going on, our mum has advanced dementia and my dd has just been diagnosed with autism. I really miss a warm matriarchal presence in my life. Feel so lonely and alone. Probably Sunday blues.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Could you join a support group where you might meet friends in a similar situation? Sending hugs

Hi, know this feeling too well. My elder bro died 10 years ago this March. He was like a father figure to me, always had advice, helped emotionally, and was my best friend.
It’s okay to have bad days, even several in a row, it’s normal, have a good cry, get rid of some of the pain, then remember things that make you smile and laugh. You’ll still end up sobbing, but it’s okay, it’s normal and it helps
Sorry about the dementia, unfortunately my dad has vascular dementia, and mum died 3 years back, so us siblings deal with it daily.

@Notdeadbiped thanks for your kind words, this time of year brings it all back as it was July that she was first taken ill completely out of the blue, we thought it as something simple like appendicitis or a kidney infection at first, it took ages for the doctors to find out what was wrong then the devastating news in October that she has inoperable cancer and we lost her two months later. She was a real mum figure to me and losing my mum to dementia I could have really used her love and support but it wasn't to be. I have a lovely brother though. Sorry for your loss too Thanks
