It's been three days....

[Justasimplea]

three days since I have spoken to my brother. Yesterday night at the dinner table my little sister was tellin us about her friend. Who recently commited suicide. I have been trying to comfort her but I feel that she is annoyed by it all. Yesterday after worship practice she asked for a petition for the girls family and everyone shrugged it off and she cried. She was explaining to us how she felt like they didn't really care. I got so upset to see her cry. When my brother looks upset everyone stands up and texts him and asks if he needs to go out for some air. But my sister whom is dealing with so much grief can't get any help. All the girls just help because they like my brother. They don't really care about anyone. I blew up at the kitchen table and told my brother off. I feel so bad because I had prayed and decided to talk to him so that we can speak but it didn't turn out that way. I feel the anger just growing and growing. I hate seeing my sister helpless. I don't know what to do.....

Praying for the situation.

I think you should be there for your sister. That's a heavy burden to carry around, and she needs support. As for your brother, keep praying about the situation and trying to work things out. However, you can also give them some space for a little bit to calm down. Just my advice, but really, ask God to lead you to what you truly should do.

Don't let your anger grow and grow. Apologize to your brother and let him know how you feel in a respectful way. Pray for your family and especially your sister. Always be kind and reasonable with your family members, even if they are not that way to you.

agreed, the most important thing is to let your sister know by telling her that you know she is hurt and confused by what has happened, and offer 'free huggs' whenever she needs them. doing those two things will help immensely.

Good counsel given here. Show the love of God in all things, and don't be judging anyone. We all need support to deal with stress.
