- About Me:
- I'm 44 years old, mother of two great kids who are almost fully grown adults now. I lost both of my parents within 10 months of one another back in 2002-2003, but nothing would have prepared me for the sudden loos of my Troy.
- About my Loss:
- Me & my ex-husband had reconciled last year and on October 1st 2011, my daughter and I moved back into our family home to rebuild our lives together. We were so happy to have found our way back to one another. We had realized through our 5 years apart that we were not only best friends, but soul mates too boot. We just GOT one another. His family wasn't supportive to our reconciliation for one reason or another, but he didn't care..he didn't have much of a relationship with them anyhow. On Thursday, Jan, 5, 2012 he left for work that morning and as he was heading out the door he kissed me, told me he loved me and would see me that night after work. I never had the slightest inclination that would be the last time I would see him alive. I finished getting ready for work and proceeded on with my day too. I arrived home from work that afternoon spoke with my then 16 yr daughter for a bit (he raised her since she was 10 mo. old & was HER daddy to her), she then left in the car to go visit a friend for a bit. Shortly thereafter, a dear friend of mine texted me wanting to know where I was and what I was doing. Her line of questioning was odd, so I asked what was up? Then I got a text from Troy's sister saying "I can't believe this is happening". I responding "what is happening?", her next text was "where are you?' at this point I replied home, but knew something was amiss. I logged into facebook and looked at her page and didn't see anything there. Than I pulled up the website for our local newspaper and see a headline about a County Worker trapped by tree or something along those lines. My heart sank into the pit of my stomach and I thought, NO, it couldn't be MY TROY. That's when I got the text from his sister that only said It's Troy. My world from the moment on has not been the same.

Feel so lost without him
I can't believe how lost I feel these days. I have never felt like this before. I have always been the strong one who holds everybody up, but now I feel so broken and the one person who was able to hold me together is the person I'm missing so much. For the last 17 years he was the person I could depend on no matter what, even when we were apart from one another and got a dissolution he was still there whenever I needed him. Those that knew either of us well were not surprised when we…

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
"Hi Rosa,
First, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Losing someone you love only two days ago is incredibly painful, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling unsure about what to do right now.
Personally, I don’t…"
