My sister died on Saturday in the ICU from pneumonia and heart failure. I expected her to survive as she's been in the ICU twice before and wasn't expected to survive then but she did.
My niece kept inviting me to see her in ICU but I didn't want to go. I haven't heard from my niece since. Our other sister went and her other daughter was there too when she died.
I would really like to say goodbye to her in the Chapel of Rest but don't know how to approach my niece.
Everyone is crying and upset but I just feel numb. I don't have any appetite and keep getting things wrong like putting the salt and vinegar in the fridge, trying to turn the TV off with the electric fire remote etc. I'm not normally like this. Any advice please

That is good news. I really feel for you losing your sister. I never had sisters but my SIL was just a year younger than me and I knew her since she was 17. We were very close and she died in 2021 and I miss her very much.
