what can I do to keep busy so I won't keep reminding myself of my sister's death 2 wks ago?

Question

all I do is cry all day

Answer 1

Go out with friends and do stuff like go to the movies, or parties or the mall and such. Stuff to keep you occupied so you don't have to think so often. =)

Answer 2

It's important to let it out, so crying is a natural thing at this point since it's only been 2 weeks. If you need to talk it out, find a good friend who will listen, or I can also recommend therapy, I would not be where I am today without it.

Another thing to remember is to treat yourself well, try to eat healthy though you may not feel like eating, try to get some exercise every day, and if you're not sleeping, see your doctor and get something to help you sleep. You cannot deal if you are exhausted. I can recommend Lunesta, it's not addictive and it does work.

I also agree that our loved ones visit us in dreams, I have seen both my parents and it is a comfort. I have also seen and cuddled with cats who have died, seems silly I know, but it was just so nice. I also recommend losing yourself in a good book or movie just to escape for a while. And don't sit by yourself for too long, that can make it so much worse. Try to get out of the house sometimes, make yourself go out and be with people. Even if you just go to Starbuck's and have a coffee by yourself, at least you'll be in the same place with other people.

Take care, I'll be thinking about you.

Answer 3

Well it's alright to cry because it's only been 2 weeks and nobody can expect you to get over a death that quickly. But you can try starting a new hobby, hanging out with your friends more, watching some movies, and just having fun so you cant be reminded of your sister.

Answer 4

Do the things you usually do because life goes on. It is okay to cry too, alot if you need to but take some breaks and do some activities. Some physical activities may help you, like walking, biking, exercising. It may take you a year to grieve. My sister died at age 34, 4 years ago, my dad died 15 months ago, even now sometimes I cry when I think of my dad and what he meant to me and the world. If you need someone to listen to you see if a local hospice offers this service to those who lost a loved one. I talked with a lady at the hospital hospice after my sister died and it was helpful.

Answer 5

Keeping yourself busy will only delay your sadness.
So the easiest, but @ the same, time hardest way, is to face the facts and move on ....
Keeping your mind busy will only want to make you cry harder and longer at night when you should be sleeping.
Besides ... maybe she'll drop by and visit you in a dream ^_^
Those that have passed on are always with us and talk to us in our dreams (when they have something to say)
So don't cry anymore, she's in a better place and her happiness is all a good sister could hope and want for her...

Answer 6

Don't deny yourself the grieving process you need to go through. Crying is very healthy for you. It sounds like you and your sister were very close. Denying yourself the process of grieving will only hurt you, not help you. I'm sorry for your loss. I lost both of my parents, my mom to a car accident less than a week before Thanksgiving. I leaned on my friends for support. They were very consoling during this time. Seek out help from your friends. God bless you sweetheart and may God touch your wounded heart.

Answer 7

I am so so very sorry to hear of your sister's passing. I know you want to be busy but you also have to let yourself greive. It can be a very long process. But go to the movies or surround yourself with your friends if you need to forget for a while. Get yourself lost in a good book. I find reading can be a good way to get lost in another place if the one you are in is a tough place at the moment. Sending you good happy vibes.....

Answer 8

Its to soon , and she was with you a long time,so it will take time, There is no magic way that your thoughts can take this away. But maybe you can buy a copy book and call it My Memories. and list your memories, and all the good times you had together. And all the things you did, the times you laughed and the times you cried. It might help. But it will never go away, you will in time, except it, because you have no other choice, But she will always be with you.So talk to her, This is all part of the healing.

Answer 10

I am sorry about your sister's death. I think you should talk, and talk some more, about your sister to trusted family members and friends. This helps your mind bereave, or grieve. It is part of your healing process. Don't try to ignore the pain you feel about your sister's death.

Answer 11

Let yourself cry, let yourself go down to a point you are afraid of. Just let it happen, don't speed yourself to go back to your old life your old life has changed. Don't let people waste your time with "everything happens for a reason," sedation. You should not make yourself go out you should not make yourself do anything. Don't go through her things alone, hire or ask someone to take care of financial and property issues. As long as you are safe just relax and you will see your life forming, vivacious and beautiful, with time.
