Grieving

Just a note to all of you that read the blog.
My sister passed away last Sunday night. She had a heart attack, and I think it might have been complications with the medicine and the chemo that she was on.
I had just visited her on President’s day week, came back for a week and then she was gone. I had to travel back up to Pennsylvania to be with my mom this week and came back to Baltimore yesterday.
I know that most of you have known about the love/hate relationship I had with my sister. She was a very hard woman to love and she did a lot of things to the family that made me really mad. But deep down she still was my sister and I loved her.
She was only 39.
And she was much better in the last two years since she got sick. She had been nicer to me and my mom and a little less unstable. But I was not expecting this.
It still hasn’t really sunk in. I feel like I am standing on shaky ground and the cracks are beginning to form and if I am not careful it might just swallow me down.
But I am making an appointment with my psychiatrist today and my therapist too.
that is all for now. Thank you my friends

i am so sorry for your pain…
it’s good that you have your appointments-
it will help tremendously!
greiving is PAINFUL,
but it also makes us look at “life”,
and forces us to make changes (preferably for the “good”)…
it’s not easy-
but you have friends that care deeply for you.
HUGS my friend
Blessings
