About my Loss:
I lost my father suddenly and unexpectedly on July 11, 2013. We knew he had pneumonia but he was given medication and sent home and according to him was fine. He had not responded to a text from a friend and that friend went to go check up on him. He did not answer his door and that friend called the police. They broke down the door and found him dead sitting at his kitchen table. I later found out he also knew he had COPD for several years and hadn't told anyone. I have a lot of guilt associated with his death, from not checking up on him more when he was sick, to guilt of the anger I feel with him for not taking better care of himself and for leaving my brother and I so much to deal with (other thing we found out: he had also basically become a hoarder, no will, debt we didn't know about, etc). It has been 3 months and I still have trouble reconciling those feelings. I also now constantly worry every time the phone rings that something has happened to someone else I love.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
