(Warning: Mention of suicide and grief)
I understand below is a long read, I want to type more but todays the day I need some rest, I just want to put a small piece of something out just for anyone to read. (Below contains a piece around grief and my story and also some helpful text, apologies for any spelling or grammar I typed this rather quickly)🤍
Today happens to be the 5th anniversary of my big sisters suicide, it’s been a long and hard 5 years but it’s also been the most informative 5 years, I’ve learnt a lot since it happened and I want to explain for anyone who doesn’t know.
I lost my older sister Katie to suicide 5 years ago today, she took her own life while finishing her third year of university and it absolutely shut my world down, this thread is going to cover what I’ve learnt and some other information.
Losing someone close to you in this circumstance is the hardest thing that’s ever happened to me and probably will ever happen to me, it’s an absolute world crushing event that leaves you in a place with no idea what to do or where to go next, it’s a soul crushing experience.
I’m here to explain what happens and how things change over time. Life at that moment really just changes for the absolute worst, you go through massive period were you miss them and feel like they are still around, it’s also very weird, your brain refuses to believe that they are actually gone, it’s one of the first stages of grief (Denial), your brain forces you to believe that it’s just lie and that everyone is still fine and this for me was the hardest and longest stage, I constantly denied the fact she was gone and refused to acknowledge her passing, it hit me for a few months and still every so often comes back. You end up passing this stage and your mind starts to accept what has happened, it then leads into my other hardest stage which is anger, it’s ok to feel angry in this instance as your mind is absolutely racing with all thoughts like “Why did they do this”, “Why would they leave me like this”, “why would they commit such a selfish act” and this is completely normal, you feel betrayed and distraught, I personally felt angry all day for weeks and weeks on end, I was so angry at myself for not noticing what was happening while also being angry at her for leaving me in such a way, I felt anger and sadness that she would leave without even saying goodbye and would leave her younger siblings without a big sister, why would she leave me without a hug?, I felt this for weeks and weeks and weeks on end constantly feeling the angriest I’ve ever felt, while this happens you also tick over into the bargaining stage which revolves around you not doing anything to help or the harmful things you said in the past which in my case was obviously things we said to each other as siblings, but don’t focus on these, sadly in this stage there’s nothing you can do and you have to focus on moving onto other stages, it’s hard but it’ll help you the most.
The stage I’ve been in for the last 3-5 years is the acceptance stage, it’s the stage you hit that allows you to process everything and it’s been the most important phase for me, it’s allowed me to help others with their problems like this thread aims to do and allows you to move on with life.
That’s the basis around the stages you feel and how it feels (From my Point of view)
I want to chat about how it’s ok to go through this and to know that you are never alone, I know some people reading this will be going through similar things and this might resonate with you.
I just want to let you know that this is ok, there’s nothing to be afraid or scared of, you’re doing amazing and you can get through this, it won’t be easy and it won’t be quick but I promise you’ll find your way out of the stage you’re in, you may also be on the other end of this thread and you may be the person thinking about suicide/self harm, I promise you it’s not the option, life has so much in store for you, you may feel like there’s no option right now but I promise there is, you are worth everything, you mean something to someone and even if you don’t have anyone around you now there’s someone in your future that needs you more than you know, you’ll be the absolute centre of their life, just hold out and you’ll be so thankful that you continued to live and breathe the beautiful oxygen around you! You have so much in store for yourself that you'll be forgetting it right now as your main thought will be your only one, you are special and you are a one of a kind, there's no one like you anywhere, you are going to achieve great things in life and you'll realise down the line that this thought was a minor blip that took over for a small period of time.
I hope everyone reading this thread realises 2 major components,
A) You are not a waste of space, you are amazing, you are special and you are somebody that I'm proud of!
You may have not been the best person until now but you always have time to change, you have a great future ahead of you and I'm sure you'll go on to see that life is the most precious thing possible, at the end of the day its all you have so treat it well and do what you want with it, explore, learn, love, everything is so special and you have so much time to try it all out so don't go making an awful decision in the heat of the moment, chill out for a second and breathe, my next point will help you.
B) There is always someone for you to talk to, I've linked below a website that you can jump onto and enter a country along with a reason and you will be supplied with a range of numbers to contact.
People are here to help you, people want to help you, I want to help!
I want to make sure that you realise how important you are, how much you mean to friends and family so don't feel afraid to contact me any time of the day and I will respond ASAP.
I'm just finishing this thread off as a small message to you all, I hope you are in a good place right now and if not I really hope you realise how things will improve with time, don't make that rash decision just chat, I love you and I am proud of you, please look after yourself, you mean the world to so many people.♥️
