In need of emotional support

Hey everyone. I know I haven’t been as actively lately. As some know my sister in law was really sick and I had been helping take care of her.
Unfortunately this morning she passed away. I’m numb and hurting, I go through periods were I want to eat everything and periods where I doubt anything will taste good.
I could really use some support and hugs right now.
Not sure if this was the right subgroup, but it’s the one I was most active on.

I don’t have any wise words for you, but I’m thinking of you and sending you good vibes. I am sorry for your loss x4

Big, big hugs to you and the family.
Use whatever coping strategies you need for the next few weeks, then sit down and write yourself a recovery plan. You may not be ready to implement it, but it will help to have it there. (Just my experience)
A grief councillor to help you talk through you emotions may help.

Huge hugs from me, too!2

you can be numb and hurting or numb and hurting and fat, that is what I tell myself, I know it hurts. Hugs.2

Drink water. Hydration is really important.
For now do whatever feels right. Grief is like this massive mad tidal wave, the best thing you can do is float along with it. Your diet will wait for you when the pain eases.
I'm so, so sorry. I've lost people too. Its really hard and nothing anyone can say will make it better. But you will get through it. ♡8 -

Prayers and hugs. I lost a sister-in-law in 2006 who I was very close to. I held her as she died. I was numb for some time. Be sure to take care of yourself now.5

You made the first step to a healing process by reaching out to others for support. As, the young lady stated stay hydrated if you can't do anything else. Write out your feeling allow yourself to go through the greiving process cry and eat whatever eases the pain. It's going to take time to heal, I still hurt from my loss and it's been 28 years. If you believe in prayer, pray and cry out to your higher power. It will get easier as time passes think of all the happy and fun time you guys spent together. Remember she absent from the body but is always present in your heart. Agape Love my sister1

Elphie, I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad tragically in ‘09, and I was so numb, I’d forget to eat. And when I did eat, it was just because I was going through the motion.
One day at a time. One foot in front of the other. You have family that love and support you, and an online family that is sending out love, prayers, and support.
Feel free to vent, that helps too... *hugs*3 -
