Seems like you're suffering from a Separation Anxiety. It's normal and you'll get used to it. If you cannot handle it, seek for a help, maybe go to and talk to a counsellor/psychologist would help and make this healing process faster. But don't worry, time will help you going through this tough time :)

 You need a professional to assess whether you need medication. You can start with a school counselor who can give you a direction. Depression can be serious and should not be ignored.
People can forget things, provided that they are fully grown and know how to regulate themselves. The brain does not stop growing until you are 25. Depression is not something to hide or be ashamed of. Your loss of sister is a trigger and your developing nervous system finds it too overwhelming to make the adjustment. For some adolescents the cause of depression is unknown, and we just chalk it up to hormones and the anxiety of growing up. If untreated depression can drag on for years.
Your parents can't relate to you because their daughter got married and this is a time they are supposed to be happy. Some needs to alert them about the seriousness of your condition. Some parents are afraid to acknowledge depression because they worry that other people will judge their parenting abilities.

 Was she your only friend? Are you sure that there isn't something else going on in your life?
Is it impossible for you to contact her? You two can't email or Skype?
I'm a bit nomadic, and like to move around my country often (I live in the USA), so I've frequently had to say goodbye to people that I care a ton about. The thing is, I keep in steady contact with the ones I cared about the most. I call my parents once a week, my sister once every other week; I Skype with my best friend of more than a decade who lives on the other side of the country, email others I've been fond of, and use Facebook to reach out and keep up with everybody else.
Your reaction to your sister's departure is so extreme and irrational that I'm forced to assume that there's something else going on in your life. Is it possible for you to talk to a counselor, if not your other family members and friends? I'm not sure how that works in Morocco, so I can't give you too much guidance on how to find a professional. But you're always welcome to send me a private message if you need to talk.
