I Feel It’s My Fault My Sister Died, and It’s Killing Me. Please Help Me!?

Question by : I feel it’s my fault my sister died, and it’s killing me. Please help me!?
My older sister Charlotte died of OD on the Summer of 2009 and it destroyed my life forever.

My parents, cold-hearted bastards that they are, are acting as if nothing happened, they only remember her as the drooling crackhead zombie she became in her final years, but I remember her as she truly was: a loving, caring, simple girl with a smile that could light up a room. She used to babysit me and my brother when we were little, while my parents were out having fun; she fixed dinner for us, played with us, came to tuck us in bed and kiss us goodnight… she was our mother, and now she’s gone.

I discovered her addiction back when she was only doing light drugs. I found some pot in her room, and she confessed, but she asked me not to tell our parents, she said she was only did it for fun, and she had it perfectly under control. I believed her, why wouldn’t I? She was still my sister then, and my sister never lied to me.

After she started losing herself to the drugs, I broke down and told my parents, but it was too late. Would it have been different if I had told my parents then? Could I have saved her if I had? Did I kill her? Is it my fault she’s dead?

Just tell me, is it my fault or not?
I’m already on Prozac, isn’t helping much…

no, she made her choices, she knew it would kill her. long as you didnt actually put the drugs in her hand or sell them to her. NO not your fault. Its hers. People know when you start doing drugs it will eventually lead to death. yet they make that choice any way. she chose her path.

you can’t beat yourself up over it.

Charlotte’s Journey – In 2009 Edify’s Short Term Mission Program (STUMP) brought passionate youth into urban environments to learn from and serve their community. Facing homelessness, drug abuse and mental health issues the one week intensive opened their eyes to the realities of city based social work. Addressing the need to provide further means of engagement after the Stump week, the Edify Internship and Cert IV in Youth Work was created. Charlotte was one of three youth accepted into the initial year of the Internship and Cert IV program in 2010. This is her story. www.salvos.org.au/edify
