I'm laughing outside, but broken inside. I was forced by my family to leave my sister who has mental disability. She can't be friendly to everyone, and i am the only person who can understand what she want. My mom died last year, and i dont want to lose her too.
I can't get a job because of pandemic, and i live on secluded place.

There are so many problems that people face today, it is easy to become discouraged and depressed.
When we feel this way, we really need hope and comfort.
I encourage you to look at the link below - it mentions some things that can give you peace.
This article is available in many languages through the website because so many people, around the world, are suffering and depressed.
And keep in touch with your heavenly Father - speak to him because, see how he is described in Paul's words:
'Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.'

Where is your sister living now?
This is very tragic indeed.
You need some practical help.

There are a lot of great online support groups that may help you. Sometimes you feel better when you have others to talk to who are going through the same thing.
