Loss of younger sister

[ashlee1101]

My little sister passed away in August 2021 unexpectedly. She was only 16 and my whole world fell apart. Due to the circumstances when/after she passed we didn't get to have a funeral until late October 2021, got her post mortem back in January 2022, had a preliminary inquest hearing March 2023 and currently waiting for our second/final inquest hearing.
I am struggling so much with not only her passing but with everything else going on inquest etc. Just when you think it can't get any worse it does in some way or another. I feel so much anger around why she died and the things that should have been done to save her but weren't. The inquest and post mortem have brought to light information medical professionals had not made us aware of at the time, some info we only found out February 2023, how is this fair or right.
I don't know anyone who has lost a younger sibling or who has had to deal with post mortems/inquests. It's such an unknown. Was hoping to maybe get some advise from someone who has been through something similar.
For context I was 12 when my sister was born, my mum was a single mum to 4 children, me and my two brothers all close in age so sister was brought up by all of us.

I am so sorry for your loss and 16 is so very young. I don't have any advice other than to be kind to yourself, get angry and grieve for the future you have both been robbed off. Sending you love 💖

My condolences. That must be so hard. 16 is so young.
I hope that you and your family at least will get some answers.
I agree with the previous poster, be kind to yourself and allow yourself to grieve and be angry.

I don't really have any advice from my own life, but I didn't want to read and not respond.
Perhaps there is a grief support group that you can join in your community?
Or maybe you can find a support group on the Internet, I'm sure there must be specific groups for people who have lost a sibling.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and for all the ways in which the info coming out through the inquest is making things even more painful for you and your family. 16 is so terribly young.

My sister and I have a similar age gap and I know what you mean about her having been brought up by all of you.

I hope you're able to find some support.

Very sorry - this all must be incredibly hard. I don't have any advice but as a much older sister myself, your post has touched me. Hope someone with some professional experience can come along shortly to give good advice. Xx

I'm so close to my younger sister. It must be a nightmare to have your little sister die. I can't imagine how bad you must feel, but seek help from your GP or grief counselling if you need it.

The loss is bad enough but the process going on around it sounds like unimaginable prolonged agony for you. So sorry you’re going through this.

I haven’t got advice but I do remember how frightening I found the anger phase of grief, and can imagine that more info coming to light would stir up anger and just complicate, disrupt, and delay the natural grieving process.
