Will time heal the emptiness inside me

My beautiful sister (18 months younger) died 4 weeks ago, and only 17 days after a diagnosis of cancer, we saw each other nearly everyday of our lives and I can’t imagine life without her in it. I stayed strong for her, her husband and their two sons but forgot about myself. The feeling I have all the time is of a physical emptiness and people tell me that time is a healer, but is it really? 

  • Really sorry about your sister. Is time a healer? For most people it seems to be. But it can take a long time. And you will always be sad, because you loved your sister so much. But over time feelings of acceptance will become stronger.
    This must seem impossible for you to imagine at the moment. Your sister died only 4 weeks ago. Your grief is still very raw.

    Wishing you the very best. xx Harry
