I lost my little sister almost 13 years ago to breast cancer. She was 33 when she passed and left behind 3 young boys
I know losing her has not only put me into deep grief but has also caused my depression to become severe and my anxiety to play havoc on my life.
How many others have lost a sibling? How did you work through your grief?
I feel as though I will never stop grieving for my sister
I did find support on a FB page called Adult Sibling Grief.

I lost my only sibling john. We were always very close he was a year younger. In 1991 he committed suicide he was only 31. After all this time i am still grieving and always will. I think you will always grieve the only thing that makes it abit easier is time but will always be there. The writing was on the wall but at the time i couldn't see it. We were always close till the last 6 months and he kept pushing me away. I still keep thinking if i had of known maybe he would still be here. Every year i so hate my birthday as i was born November 9th and he was born the next year on November 6th . I would always say to him if he held his breath for another 3 days we could have had our birthdays on the same day. So in answer to your question i feel you will never get over it just gets a little bit easier.
@A MyDepressionTeam Member Thank you for sharing.
That is a beautiful dream and I am glad you did have it as it brings such comfort.
It took me many yrs before I could dream of my sister and after nearly 13 yrs I've had 3 dreams and finally in the last one, I spoke to her, as she walked along side me.
I told her she couldn't come with me, as she was dead and the people in our town would be confused.
So I asked her to wait at home for me...in our family home where we grew up.
I went there after being in town and I was telling her son off for being naughty (lol) and she looked at me and simply nodded at me, like she was letting me know I was doing the best I could.
She never spoke to me though....bt this was the sign I needed from her.
Take a look at the Adult sibling grief website....it is so comforting.
Take care x
My sister passed away in '99 from ovarian cancer. She was 49 I still miss her, and often something will happen or I will see or hear something that I would share with her. Then I realise that I can't. Something happened shortly after her death that I think made it easier for me to deal with. I had a dream, in which I was walking through the mall & saw her sitting on a bench. I stopped & said "Why are you here? You're dead!" All she would say to me was "Don't worry about me. I'm fine." I know none of this really helps you, but I just had to share. Take care
