Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMy younger Sister passed over last night.
She was a big supporter of Hillary Clinton.
She could not understand how anyone could vote for a person like Donald Trump? It made her physically ill when Hillary lost. It affected her health.
She will be missed very, very much. She was only 58.

It almost happened to me at age 52, and my comment was that 52 was not a life completed. Nor is 58.

(76 posts)Horrible news, horrible for the family. Many wishes for peace and comfort.
A friend's family member was found dead at home in September; no foul play, but no certain cause of death, either. It is so, so difficult for any family to make sense of this and to carry on afterwards.

(23,780 posts)It's never easy when someone you love leaves us. Even more heartbreaking when they are still young and haven't completed their life's path. May all the good memories you have of your sister bring you peace in the days ahead.

OldEurope
(1,273 posts)It is really heartbreaking to hear that this election worsened your sister's condition.
I, too, was born in 1958. So your sister and I shared some memories because we were of the same age.
One of the most important influences on me was watching the moon landing on tv which your sister probably watched, too. This finally immunized me against any silly assumptions against science.
And we both grew up amidst the efforts to gain gender equality only to see our children experiencing a bunch of rich male (insert invective of your choice) taking over total control of the US and ruining everything.
When my mother died (two weeks ago) we asked the funeral party to donate to a refugee rescue organization, because she was a refugee. Is there a charity your sister would have liked to donate to?

Hugs and much strength I am sending to you. Be easy and peaceful and know that people care.

(27,843 posts)I wish peace for you and yours - and that her story is told. I've had to tell myself recently to quit wallowing and sitting around and eating badly, because I have been taking worse care of myself, too (I am also a big Hillary Clinton supporter). I am not trying to make this about me, but I totally get how anyone could have a physical decline after something like this.

(15,224 posts)Yes, the impending carnage is most definitely affecting health.
An old and dear friend of mine (a Hillary supporter, as well) laid down to take a nap on a Sunday in mid-December, and just didn't wake up. I am certain that the stress she was feeling after the election was a factor. She was 60.
We must all do the best we can to help one another and take care of one another. We must be strong together during hard times for there are so many times when there is nothing we can do.
Again, I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. I wish all that knew and loved her calming peace and comfort.
