She did not survive the Trump administration. This motherfucker's lack of everything on Covid killed my favorite sister. She was 72, in good health otherwise with two children and three grandchildren. She got sick around Christmas and was sick in varying degrees until she went on a ventilator and never came off.

(64,534 posts)I feel your anger and pain. I lost a favorite relative right after Christmas. It didn't have to go this way.
I'll be thinking about you and her family, and hoping the mf'er gets his due, although I don't see how it's possible - he only loves himself, and he can only die once.

(5,126 posts)Her spirit lives on because you loved her so much.
Just think how happy she would be to see this day with you.
She has moved on from her suffering and he has had to move out.
NOT a fair exchange, I am sure she was worth a dozen of his kind.

I'm sorry for your loss and I know the pain will never subside. She will always be in your thoughts. I have found that meditation and prayer help, but everyone grieves at their own pace. I have 6 wonderful sisters and I can't imagine losing even one of them.

(42,770 posts)Nothing makes you feel better. Except...Temporarily when trump lost in November and today with the hope that Joe Biden brings.
But nothing fills the hole.
Liken to people who lost someone to uncontrollable forces. Advise said to:
1. Stop watching news.
2. Do things your loved one would have done. Say what they would say.
3. Find people who have it worse than you.
No forum for those of us who lost someone to grieve together. PM me anytime.

I will forever hold Trump and his negligent administration in some way responsible for the death of my sister. She was literally gone in three weeks.

(11,269 posts)My mother was taken in November, and my father is lost without her after 54 years of marriage, after raising my brother, sister and myself through 9 grandchildren from age 6 to 23 - to have their planned retirement struck down and stolen when they should have been enjoying the twilight years together and with the family. Mom was the center of our family, the glue that held it all together and since we lost her I have a sucking chest wound that could not seem to heal or lessen because we have yet to be able to adequately grieve the loss or comfort each other in person.
The hideous nature of what you are going through; and what so many millions of Americans - the loved ones of the 400,000 plus we have collectively lost - are going through as well, is truly heart breaking. I pray that you find peace and support and purpose in this time of strife and loss and betrayal by our own government and leadership. My anger has shifted a bit today, my burden and loss remain too heavy to bear at times, but today I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel and am not afraid it is simply an oncoming train. I rejoice at new leadership, new empathy and a caring soul in the Oval Office at long last.
May the memories of your lost sister find you, and embrace you in those moments when you are alone. Recently, I have repaired a night-light that my mother had brought to my home to use in the poorly lit basement hallway from our guest room to the bathroom. She is with me in that light now...I feel her presence and I am not ashamed to admit that this avowed atheist and non-believer talks to his lost mother through that light. It has brought peace and comfort to me and I don't care if its all in my head or real or somewhere in between....simply does not matter. I have gone through the anger and rage and hate that nearly burned me out - especially towards that monster that is now gone. I'll never get that final vigil and goodbye with mom, it will haunt me the rest of my days, but having found mom in that silly little night light, and talking to her and feeling her loving presence one last time, things are bearable now, my soul feels less ripped and torn, less hate and more of a deep breathe. Mom's memory tells me "not like this Bubba...not like this...get up, keep going, I love you!" And so tomorrow is again a new day...
May you find (or already have) your own night light with all speed.

(4,575 posts)What a beautiful post. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother.
I hope I find a night light or photograph or something that helps me keep going.
I do have a sense of hope that things will get better.
But she was robbed and Trump has the blood of every soul that died from this on his hands. There were no monoclonal antibodies or Remdesivir for them.
Somehow, some way he must be held accountable.

(9,708 posts)My son has it. So far, not a bad case but I worry my husband, who has a heart condition, could catch it, or me. Or that our son could take a turn for the worse.
We have a close relative by marriage who is on a ventilator with COVID and the family has been advised he cannot survive.
The heartlessness of the Trump administration is a crime against humanity. May he rot in prison and eventually in hell for this.
My heart goes out to you over the loss of your beloved sister. Hold fast to your memories.

The pain will soften and change in time. Your choice now--the choice everyone has in moments like this--is to decide if something in you dies with her, or if something of her will live on with you.

Nothing I can say will make this better for you, but know at least that I really, really want to.

(5,525 posts)Its hard to know what to say in times like this.
Words cannot describe or comfort such a loss.
They say in time it will get better. It really doesnt.
Remembering her and rejoicing for being blessed by her
will help. The loss remains. But you are here and can help
her children remember her. Id like to say here after your
mourning is over, but that sense of loss will be a part of
you and your days.
Its going on six years since I lost my beloved.
The shock of it has subsided a little, but the deep yawning loss still
has me crying every day in spurts. Then I remember something
that I loved about him. His laugh, his wit, his voice, his hands...
And somehow I am able to get through another day.
Hopefully, you will remember your love for your sister and find
those little things that will help you, too.
Again, Im so sorry for your loss.
I know your heart is breaking right now.
So sorry.
