| and this is the first forum I found. I stayed with my parents for a week to help them but I am back where I work now. I tried to be strong for my family during the time but now that I am alone I feel this distant yearning, I don't feel right. I looked after her my whole life. She came to me for advice and I gave her the best I could. She suffered from mental illness so I got my masters in counseling in hopes of helping her. I just feel like I have failed her. |

| I am so sorry that you've lost your dear sister. The life path of anyone who has "mental illness" (I don't think there's really such a thing; I think it's more accurate as well as kinder to call it "brain disfunction") is rocky & filled with obstacles. & there's only so much they, or you, or I, can do to ease the journey. Please remember what your education taught you; You've taken on a lot of responsibility, to your sister & to your parents; Again, I'm so very sorry, & I wish you the very best. |

| My thoughts are with you. I hope that you can find a support group for yourself at this difficult timel |
