I Lost Someone To Suicide

I lost my sister almost 6 years ago... I don't remember a day that has gone by that I don't think of her for a moment. It's been hard. So many unanswered questions and feelings... I recently started going to a support group and it helps but I don't really feel like I have made any connections. I know these things aren't to make connections... But it's hard to not want one when the person who you had the strongest connection with... Decided that life was just too painful. It feels like I lost all my friends as well as my best friends... People don't want to talk to me because I either bring them down or I just made it awkward.

@Moregano I have a brother who is a year younger than I. He has been struggling badly with hard drugs for 5 straight years. He has been in and out of rehab, recovery homes, homeless shelters, loss of jobs etc. He was recently kicked out of a recovery home because he was caught using. No one knows where he is now.

I am so sorry. I hope he shows up. I know the fear of wondering where someone is.
