OPINION: I’ve found healing in the belief that every person is grievable, writes Lynne_Griffin. When I’m asked about my sister, I tell the truth about her life and her death, and my heartache.
It’s been seven years since my sister died, and in ordinary moments, I am still blindsided by the intensity of my unresolved grief. Recently, a three-sentence email sent me spiraling.
Some grief is impossible. Death by suicide remains stigmatized, and because of this, I’ve been told — implicitly and explicitly — to keepgrief hidden. I’ve been stunned by the absence of compassion after a loss deemed undiscussable. Seven years later, some extended family members still have never acknowledged my sister’s passing. To me, this feels like they are erasing her existence.
Sometimes I want to talk about the good days. For decades, my sister and I were central players in each other’s lives. We spoke every day. Had many of the same friends. We lived next door to each other in Boston.
