LuLu -

Everyone else has already said to not blame yourself.  I know what it is like to be the "strong one" in the family that everyone turns to.  You did the right thing.  The important thing now is to remember to take care of yourself.  If you don't, you can't possibly be there for her, and she does need you right now.  By punishing yourself, you are actually less able to take care of her than if you could let it go and forgive yourself for not being all-knowing and clairvoyant.  I will be praying for you both.

I am so sorry to hear about your sister.  She is so very young.  Do not feel quilty unless you knew she was going to have a heart attack and you left on purpose!!! Which none is true, so stop it.  What is done is done, that hind sight thing is 20/20, but what is important is NOW!  Stop living about that you should have been there, you were there, as fast as you could get there.  You gave her sound advise and that is one of the reasons she is still with us.  So stop worrying about what should have been and live now.  Be there for her and for the rest of the family.   Now that is my lecture to you today.

NOW, I will keep you all in my prayers.  I always hated this time of year when I was working and had to hear of people dying or sick or having heart attacks.  It would take a little part of me every Holiday season, I am glad that part of my working days are over.  Keep by her side, be there for her, and be good to yourself.  You know the number if you need anything.

Love and hugs my friend.  Diane

Know that both you and your sister are in my thoughts and prayers.  Also please know that you absolutely have been there for your sister 100%! Iagree with the others, having her call 911 was the very best thing to do whether you were physically with her at the time of the heart attack or not.

 Hugs to all of you -

Firs,t Lu, PLease just put this in God or Godesses or whom evers  hands it is not within your control or power. Secondly, I will say a pray to put your mind at easy and for your sister to heal and recoer fully for this very serious event. I know you must be scared half to death but it you have to trust in the higher power to take care of this, and it will. We are all here for you and wish the very best for you and your sister.

 Siblings Fight, They Hate, And Love Each other. It's Normal. You had no idea what was going on with her, And you did all you could do, I know you feel guilty, the first thing anybody does when there is a tragedy is feel guilty, For all the things you have ever said, for the fights, for the hateful words, even for something as simple as forgetting the milk at the store last week when they asked for it. But when it comes down to it, ITS NOT YOUR FAULT. The only thing you can do know is be there for her, and you are.

Best of luck, and you, your sister, and your family are in my prayers.
