Clearly she has it the worst.
I grew up where I always thought and was told-- "they got it worse, have it worse" basically what am I whining about... It invalidates one to think this way with their own emotions and pain and feelings. It is not healthy (for most i don't think imo). I don't think there is a "scale" for one's pain of who has it worse- we each have own,... You are very considerate person for thinking your pain is less, but in the end-- who is to decide that- your pain is your pain, and it means a great deal and should be noted.

It's like she is mad at me and my sister sometimes because we're living, and she knows how she is coming off because she constantly asks "Am I still a good mother?"
Going through grief and with a suicide, is very difficult. It is hard to understand- if ever understanding is grasp for some. 's it is misdirected anger towards you and your sister. (as you probably already know) but I am sorry you are having to go through this 's

I cant be the god damn savior of everyone anymore. Especially when no one cares about me in return. It's too much.

Care for self first 's I Know It is hard when you are put in the position and have been given the title of a care giver in any fashion. But at the same time-- we all can not save everyone-- some times people do need to save themselves.... I am not sure what the full story is but some times with others, leaning too much on one person- is not good for that person even. and it is very heavy on the one that is being leaned on with no one for themselves to lean on.

I remember one time i was told when struggling with coping with my brother's issue-
When people are in an airplane - what do they say first to the adults with children--- For the Adult to put on the air mask first, then to help the child---- The adult is no help if they don't help themselves first....

I don't know if any of this helps but I hope you well and many well thoughts your way s
