How Am I Supposed to Cope With My Sisters Death?
Question by : How am I supposed to cope with my sisters death?
My sister passed away in December, she was 29. She had cystic fibrosis, so we have always known she wouldn’t live to be old. The first round of autopsies pointed towards natural death, which would make sense. She was found by her landlord I believe (she had been living in new York since march, we live in north Carolina) the next morning, in her bed as if she had just passed in her sleep. We just got the tox screens and other tests back the other day…she had morphine, hydrocodine, xanax, and Zoloft in her system. My sister dealt with drug abuse for years when I was about 14-17, I lived with her at my dads and saw it everyday. She finally seemed to have gotten clean. She was able to get a hold of all these pills because doctors were stupid enough to prescribe them…we tried to tell doctors she had a problem and could not take them. Zoloft was the only legitimate pill she should of been on, she has severe depression. She moved to new York cause she missed her friends, and she felt alone here. I can’t say we were the best support system. My father got her a car, helped her get her license back, took her 2 1/2 hours away to chapel hill for treatment…he wanted to help her, but he can only do so much. I moved out about 5 months before she left, and from what I’m told she was drinking and pill popping again, just hiding it a lot better now that she could drive to friends houses to do it. In new York she had no family, just her druggie friends. I’m assuming pills is why she lost weight, and why she totaled her car. Anyway, I have so many mixed emotions. I love her with eelverything in me, and it was already killing me that she passed away without much of a goodbye. But now, she died because of what she did. I understand, because she was watching us all move on and live our lives. She couldn’t have children, men didn’t want to date her because of her illness…meanwhile I’m one of her younger sisters gettin married. I feel guilty, angry…what do I do? 🙁
