There are numerous things that I forget on a daily basis but the call I received about my sister's death is burned into my memory. Nothing prepares you for the call about a loved one passing. It's safe to say that we had no family plan on what to do when an unexpected death occurred. I realized that my phone list was seriously out of date. I didn't know who I should call or what I should do. I didn't want to call people on their cellphones because I didn't know what they would be doing. I live over two hours away from my parents and I knew that the loss of my sister was devastating to everyone. Getting the call sent my system into a grief induced nausea anxiety attack. I was immediately sick to my stomach and felt like I was going to hyperventilate. The day we lost Erica is burned into my memory. I may forget where I put my car keys but I know exactly what happened on Tuesday, March 8, 2011.
