In all seriousness, you
are human EndGame.
With regards to work, even when you know better, you are allowed to 'eff up. You do not have to know everything. And explaining your circumstances to a trusted superior is not the same as making excuses. From an outside (friend from afar) perspective, even if you are sitting still, there has been a seismic shift in your reality. There is no surprise that things within have jiggled loose a bit.
This post is meant to be comforting as it appears as if you are quite conscientious irl in so many ways. Yes, you work and function in the clinical realm; however, your life, your being, is not and no amount of conscientiousness can change this or prevent what must happen from happening. It is OK to be affected by your sister's experience and not know exactly how.
Take a giant hug, EG.
