Re: Wounded
Hey @Lyneil ,
Welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear how hard things are for you right now. It sounds like you and your sister are going through a lot and as much as you are trying to help her, things don't seem to be improving. Is that fair to say?
Grief affects people in different ways. It's important she has someone to talk to about it. Does she have any professional supports she can talk to?
Also, do you have any supports for yourself? I recognise it is not easy for you at the moment. Please take care.
We've also sent you a check-in email.
