If your sister and mother were just murdered - shot to death - I imagine you would be devastated. If anyone you cared about was killed, that is. What would you do to get over it and move on? How would you overcome your depression?

Depression is very difficult to handle on your own sometimes. No matter how much faith you have depression can hold you captive. You have not only experienced a great loss, but you have experienced an entirely different outlook on life and all that you were safe with believing in. You will go through stages of grieving which is normal after a loss. My mother passed away suddenly almost five years ago now and it was and still is difficult to deal with sometimes. You will grieve. You will move forward. Important days like birthdays and holidays you will hurt more. As time passes each day will become easier for you. Pray for strength and know that your loved ones are still with you. Take one day at a time. Cry, scream, be sad if you feel like being sad. All feelings are OK and you must allow yourself to feel them. Try to get up each day and do what you need to do, but do not get down on yourself if you just don't feel up to it. In time you will be able to move forward, but you will never forget. I will keep you in my prayers.

There are five stages of grief and boy, if this is you that you are talking about, you deserve to take all the time you need to grieve. However, I believe that you need to seek professional help whether it be from counseling with a therapist or clergy. The old saying that "time heals all wounds" is not quite accurate because you will never get over such a devastating experience and loss of those you love in such a horrendous way. But I can tell you from experience that time does ease the pain.
The stages are:
Denial - The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
Anger : "How dare you do this to me?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
Bargaining :
Depression : "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"
Acceptance :

Wow a question worth answering. Thats some crazy stuff, people have killed themselfs for less. That may be half the problem for the people involved, They need some hope some light at the end of the tunnel to tell them that life has something to offer them.
If you can get through that part, then the rest wont seem so daunting. If they have hope then there is always something to live for.

I've had many people close to me die and I didn't get depressed, just very sad. Your Faith keeps you going.
