Related: About this forumToday is the anniversary of my sister's death. My brother is coming over for dinner
We'll drink a toast to her.
Tomorrow I start therapy, again, to try and come to terms with her death, among other unresolved issues. Survivor guilt is a never ending pain. She had so much more to offer than I ever will. The fates are cruel.
Anyway, I've put off getting serious about dealing with these issues for far too long. Hopefully I don't turn into a human emotion volcano. I'll take my medications before I go.

You are an incredible human. If everyone had your heart, we'd be in a good place.

Far better to let it out as opposed to letting it eat you from the inside.
