My sister has now passed away but 8 months before she passed away, she was in a horrible car accident... and fully recovered...with thats said I urge you to urge him to get counseling. I did not push the issue with my sister but I wish I had. If I had maybe she would still be here. She (in my opinion) suffered an extreme amount of depression due to that accident. It took about 1 1/2 weeks for her to wake up from the accident. AnYWAY, i WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW HIS RECOVERY IS GOING? i wish you and your family the best. I am sorry for your family's loss.

This is the hardest thing I have ever went through...My sister was 33. She died due to an overdose of methadone and cocaine. I was really hard on her when she was here, I mean really hard on her. I have a son who is five...we (SHE AND I) grew up in a family of alcoholics and I have tried very hard to keep him far away from that lifestyle...therefore I didn't see her very often and when I did she and I would always end up in an argument. She left behind two teenage boys, which was one of the reasons I was so angry with her. I did not want them to be in that enviroment and DHS never got involved the way I thought they should(like you would see on tv) Anywa I am rambling..I guess I was so mad at her while she was alive that I am constantly defending her (although I know she was wrong) While making funeral arrangementS I would break down because I couldn't find clothes that I thought she would like. I know that probably sounds weird but I constantly felt like I was letting her down in some way (again) I still feel an extreme amount of Guilt for being so mean as if I was better than her because I didnt do drugs. Thats not what I thought. I just wanted to be close with her. That was all I ever wanted and I thought I would have plenty of time. I DIDNT. sO NOW TRYING TO JUST GET THRU A DAY WITHOUT A BREAK DOWN IS STILL A CHALLENGE. MY son is not dealing with it well and I am not helping.(although I dont get upset in front of him) Now he is scared his mommy is going to die too because my nephews are usually upset. I am 24 and I am just not sure of what to do anymore. I make sure to let them all see just enough tears to know that it is okay to cry, but I WILL NOT allow myself to break down in front of them Im the adult I need to be there for them. Anyway rambling again any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you

My sister also passed away in August...also from an overdose on methadone. It has been several months and I am still almost obsessed, falling apart even when I see a car similiar to her or hear a favorite song of hers. It is very hard but weird. I feel guilty for smiling at times or for not crying all the time, as I did until a month or two ago. Anyway, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. If you ever need someone to talk to Im here. My sister was 33 and left behind two teenage boys. I still cannot get over how similiar our stories are... my e-mail address is plpatsy@yahoo.com. Please e-mail me if you ever want to talk. I am also a resident of Tennessee.
