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.

It's like it happened this morning....losing someone you were so connected to. I did not lose a biological sister...never had one...but I did have a "sister" for 45 years...she didn't have a sister either. We connected on that level though...from the moment we met...and introduced each other as "my sister"...then 4 years ago she frikkin died on me. I had NO clue how final death is...what do you mean I can't ever talk to her again??? I didn't go on and on about my loss but people really had a hard time with my grief...so, now I make it a special point to listen to people in that kind of pain...they just need an ear

@Fernie Yes exactly! Death... I never knew how final it was until I couldn't pick up the phone and call her. I wouldn't see her drive by or come over. It just like the world stopped... I don't always talk about my grief or loss but on days when I need to... Its like no one wants to listen. They will ask if I'm okay. Which I am. Just something will remind me of My sister and it will make the whole day horrible... And if I tell someone that, then they seem to get busy after asking and hearing what's going on.
