Sea wall; coping with drastic changes and disruptions

It keeps coming. my mom just called and told me that my 39 year old sister died today. Numb
Damn! When it rains it really pours. My heartfelt condolences. I wish you all the strength in the coming period, although you seem like you’ve got it covered on the strength front. Can’t say it any better than @Nitro has, we’re here for you if you need us.
 
Rocco,

I am so sorry to hear about all that you have been going through. I can't even imagine how you must feel, but hang in there. Take time to process everything. I'm here if you need to talk. Praying for you!

Sorry to hear this. We love you, Rocco. Keep in touch with us so we know you’re still alive and not harmed yourself in any way. Take care, my friend. Hugs.
 
Life has been “raining” lately, so I got some new “windshield wipers.” I am feeling exceptionally cheerful today, as the new owner of this low low miles 1995 Z28 :hearteyes::kissingheart:And I also put some new wipers on it too.

This was my sister. I made the mistake of not telling her enough how much I loved her and now I’ll never have the chance. Don’t make the same mistake.

I'm not good with comforting words, but I will give it a shot.

As sad a time as it really is for you, she's watching over you and knows exactly how you feel about her Rocco.
Time will pass and the dark clouds that cover you now will be replaced by the sunshine of your fondest memories of her.
 
While she had many struggles, I do not think she was on the spectrum. She did have a great personality and a loving heart.
She looks beautiful. I like to think she had a beautiful personality as well and was proud to have you as a brother.

Just out of curiosity, was she on the spectrum, too?
