she's so gone?

Question

my sister left for college today. I cried for like four days straight. I really can't cry anymore. But now I feel so empty. she's my closest sister. we are only two years apart. my other sister is way too young for me to tell her stuff. how can i stop missing her? how i can fill in time? I'm so empty. i have no one to talk to. she is like BEST BEST BEST FRIEND. i used to talk to her from like 12 AM to 4AM. i'm so lonely. the only thing i can fill this emptiness with is food.

Answer 1

With computers these days you can still chat like you use to. Get on Yahoo and make a call to her. Get a webcam and you can chat for free and still see each other.

Answer 2

I've faced an emptiness like yours before. The first thing you need to do is realize that none of the answers are in the fridge. Your self esteem will plummet. Get a notebook - and keep a journal. I write in mine like I'm talking to someone - yours can be like you are still talking to your sister. In the meantime - you have to pull it together - and remember that you do have a life to live as well. Don't make your sister worry about you and how you are falling apart. College is hard - and she will be going through a lot. SUPPORT her instead of putting yourself in front of her, it will make the bond even stronger - and make you feel better, too. Your time is only going to be as empty as you allow it to be.

do u have any friends from school u are close to? thats part of life, things happen for a reason life is a rollercoaster where there are ups and downs and you just keep on riding till it ends. it is hard but thats the growing process such that every sibling goes through that but you'll realize you'll be a better more independent person w/o her. it will be for the better, since u still have another sibling you should be close w/ her and be her role model so she can feel like she can go to u for anything such as how you were to ur older sister.

Answer 4

Sweetheart, I am sorry you are feeling this way. Older sisters are special, and it sounds like you have a very special bond with yours.

As your sister will be busy with studies and other college stuff, there is no reason you cannot write, email, IM or even call her. She may not be available as much as you would hope, but she'll always be there for you. Don't forget that.

Best wishes.

Answer 5

my sister left for colllege today too. And we are only a year apart. she and I were really great friends too. but there are so many ways to keep in touch. I know it's not the same as having her be with you at your side, but it's something. departure is never permenant, you'll see each other again.

Answer 6

Sit down wipe your tears away and write her a letter and tell her how you feel... You can write her every day and tell her the same stuff you'd tell her as if she was home.... give your lil sister a chance :) after all she's family and you was the lil sister to your big sis

Answer 7

Geeze....youre sister's not in the fridge nor the pantry. Youre sisters! That'll never change and memories you made and will make in the future you always have. Be glad for her journey, for her education and find your path now. Good luck lil sis!

Answer 8

She is not gone for good just to college. You can:

1> visit her
2> email her
3> call her
4> get a web cam
5> get your own life and make new friends

This is a test for you. It is time for you to stand on your own a little and expand your horizons.

Answer 9

learn to accept things! depression that lasted for 3 mos is pathologic, eating it out is also not a good defense mechanism! talk to your parents or you sister! she can be home on some week ends and holidays! or find a buddy in your school! good luck!

Answer 10

Trust God to fill your emptiness. Know that it is his plan that she go away to college, because it is necessary for her future. Don't worry you'll see her again. Trust God.
