My sister passed away 2 weeks ago?

How can I cope with her loss? She and I were not real close but how she died really gets me. She was shot by her husband which he says it was accidental but I know the abuse she endured for years from him. I want to know how to deal with this? I am not sleeping well or eating well. My nerves are shot..How can I start healing from this? Has anyone ever been through anything like this? My sister was 47 years old, she worked all the time, she always did the right things, I miss her and hate that this happened to her. Any good advice will be appreciated.

    You have to give yourself time to grieve. You don't actually cope with it. ever, but if you give yourself time you will learn to accept that she's gone. In the beginning it will seem as if you will never feel better again, as if you will be sad forever, but after you've accepted the loss you will notice that life goes on. I'm not saying you have to cry all day, but you do have to at least give yourself some more time grieve. Nobody can get over a relative's dead, most certainly not after 2weeks.

    Hope it helps, sorry for your loss and best of luck!

    Let yourself cry your eyes out because you need and want to. Punch a pillow, go for a walk, blast some music, laugh with family and friends, watch some funny dvds, but most importantly of all, take care of yourself. I would recommend going to a doc if you don't want to see a grief counselor, and at least get a mild sedative to help calm you down so you can sleep. I'm so sorry for your terrible loss, and may your sister RIP. Take care :).

    First of all, report her husband to the police. They may or may not offer you councilling, but you need to see a professional, somebody thats trained in these things. Talk to your parents, the're probably feeling the same way about her murder, and you need your friends and family to pull you through. Organise a girls day or night off to take your mind off things. Your friends are there for you.

    Yo i know how you feel i lost my bro and i wasnt to close with him either its always tough going through a loss. Get that "accident" looked into and maybe get some justice. Its rocky the first year or two just stand tall and never give up. Good luck okay? T_T

    you need to talk to someone and sort out your feelings. Someone from the police dept or victim assistance will contact your family to provide help and support. I know how you feel and I'm sorry for your loss. It's a tradegy and the pain will never go away but you will learn how to live with it.

    Source(s): past experience. I lost my sister too.

    Just know she's in a better places, and it takes time to get over things like this, (we've been through things like this with family) and we just have to accept the fact that they are gone even though it hurts inside, but time will heal it's wounds. may you're sister rest in peace.

    Gina, I am very very sorry. I understand that even though you were not that close with your sister, you miss her and feel kind of incomplete without her. Firstly, I hope your sister rests in peace. You should pray to God for your sister and do the right things your sister used to do. Sleep and eat well with the thought that your sister is with you, she is not gone, she is always with you guys, remember that Gina! Your sister was a part of you and will always remain a part of you! So eat and sleep well, do things that your sister would have been happy with, and live healthy and happy because your sister is always going to be with you and that is what your sister would want to.
