I am truly sorry for your loss. And I will tell you that it is something that you will never be able to truly get over. However you can move on. And that is what your sister would want you to do!
Feeling depressed is just a natural human emotion! When my brother died I took it very hard and was depressed for sometime. But then I thought that he would not want me to be like this. So now I live for his memory! Everything I do is to honor him and who he was! When you focus on that your life just seems to start moving again! Don't try to push your feelings, but don't let yourself go to far down into depression. I am sure that your sister wouldn't want that!
Find someone that you can talk to. Whether it be friend, family , counselor,teacher whatever. And if you want you can e~mail me
Good Luck!

My dad died when i was 19 years old. It was the hardest thing ive ever gone through. I am now 32 and id be lying if i said it doesnt still affect me. Ill never get over it, but it has gotten more bearable. Your sister would want you to go on with your life. Do not forget her, but honor her by living your life. Remember life is precious, dont let opportunites to tell people how you feel go by.

It helps to talk about it, do you have anyone you can talk to. I am very sorry for your loss. I recently lost my best friend who was also my sister in law. She died of Brain Cancer which she battled for 6 years. You could write in a journal and express yourself that way. There are many ways to cope with this it is just different for everyone. Having supporting family and friends will really help.

Go ahead and greave. Cry when you need to. Talk to family members and friends (yours and hers) about her. Share memories of her and remember the good times you had with her. It's ok to feel sad sometimes. It's also ok to laugh and feel happy at other times. I'm sure she would want you to, don't you think?
Perhaps you would like to do something special in her memory...plant a tree in your yard, or a beautiful rose or a favorite perennial flower that she loved. Perhaps she had a particular cause that she cared about that you would like to get involved in, or make a donation in her memory.
Basically, move on with your life, but remember her, too.

Never panic.remember who comes must have to die.
this is the universal truth.
do some thing-like try to keep yourself busy.
keep on doing at least something.try to set some aim in ur life that ur sister wishes to .try to achieve them for ur sister.
remember ur parents r there who have so much expectations from u.so never get depressed.and look some peoples who have so much to get depressed, still they keep themselves cheerful.so set new goals in ur life and try to achieve them.

My first baby died in childbirth. I miss her terribly. I have her complete bleached skeleton assembled in an "ATTACK" position on the mantel in the family room. It keeps her close to my heart! Hope this helps!

find someone close you trust and talk to them, it could be your parents or a friend, just someone. don't be afraid to grieve... and remember... death is a part of life... in time it will get easier to cope but you need to give it that time and let it run it's course and don't give up, there is always someone willing to help and talk to. I am so sorry for your loss, my condolences to you and your family.

go out, meet friends, go the movies, etc. you need to occupy yourself and surround yourself by loving friends.
your grieve may be constant and real but life goes on and you need to deal with it.
grieve for your sister but don't let it take your life away as well.

Spend your nights at the cemetary where she's buried wearing a white sheet. When people come by, pretend to be your sister's ghost and go "Wooooooooooooooooo! I'm a Ghost!".
