I lost my sister today. She did not die, but I lost her the same.

She is a recovering drug addict or was. She had been clean for over 4 years. And she has started using again.

I know that since I have done nothing to make her use, I can not make her not use.

I know that my mental health depends on my staying out of this situation.

I know that my responsibility is to myself, my daughter & my husband.

I know all of this, but it still hurts.
