I need help finding some symbols for a tattoo.?

Okay, I'm seventeen, and I'm getting my first tattoo. Just yesterday my Great Grandfather died... And my sister and I have decided to get tattoos in his honor. So my sister is getting the birth mark he had on his foot that ran in his family.

And for myself, since it's my first tattoo, I want it to address the fact that I believe when doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. I was molested when I was younger, and raped about a year ago. I was abandoned by my mother, and my father wants nothing to do with us. One night I was decided to kill myself, but couldn't go through with it, because I realized how hard it would be on my sister. Soon after I was diagnosed with sever manic depression. And then just now my Great Grandfather's death.

Anyhow... I want something that symbolizes that no matter how hard life gets, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I want it to symbolize that no matter what, I'll always have my sister.

Some ideas please!! Links would be awsome!!!

Update:

Oh!! I want it on the inside of my left wrist, since I can just throw on a few bangles and hide it, in the future... Approx. two inches, by two inches.

    Wow it seems that you have been through alot in such a short life. I'm happy that you harbor the strength to continue and hope that you always reflect and think before considering to hurt yourself in any way. I hope one day you reach out to people who have gone through situations similar to that of your own. These are my suggestions from the website below.

    "Your Demons Will Cause Your Angels to Sing" or

    "My Demons Will Cause My Angels to Sing"

    "Being Deeply Loved by Someone Gives You Strength, while Loving Someone Gives you Courage: (in reference to your sister)

    "Some think it's holding on that makes one strong - sometimes it's letting go" (in reference to your grandfather)

    "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone"

    if i were you i would get an infinity symbol.

    heres a link to it, and& incase you dont know what it means,

    it means forever.

    heres a link- and& i would get the word "survivor" incorporated into it, like in the picture.
