[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister died in a car accident when I was a teen. Years later, my mom, who was still grieving my sister and had recently received scary medical news of her own, tried to kill herself.  I had just finished college at the time and was home taking care of her through her diagnosis and treatment, and I woke up in the middle of the night knowing something was deeply wrong.  I found her trying to commit suicide, and intervened.  Being witness to that much raw human pain in someone I loved more than anyone in the world took me to a low I had never known before. And she was embarrassed, frustrated and hurting, and was never really the same after that night.

I wish that I had been older and wiser and better prepared to deal with all the emotions.  She ended up dying a year later, of natural causes from her illness. I miss both her and my sister every day.

[b]It was 20 years ago and the memories are incredibly real, but like others have said, I've experienced real pain and loss and it grounds me.  I have built my own wonderful family and even though our lives are far from fairy tale perfect, I am quite a bit happier and less angst-ridden than most folks around me. There was no bouncing back involved, just putting one foot in front of the other and remembering the most important things I learned along the way. [/b]
