My husband
My husband died on December 22nd after just 3 weeks of hospital care for cancer. It went so fast I still can't process it all. About every other day, I have sore sinuses from crying so much. I see his last picture, I cry. I see his lighter, I cry. I see his drivers license, and yes I cry. Then it seems I can move on a little. It feels a bit like I just dove off the deep end, and the water is so deep I can't see the surface. I think that when I reach the surface I will have learned to…

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 Nana, Welcome to a place none of us wanted to be, but at least we can understand each other here.
My husband had a little more time than yours but it was such downhill ride the 9 weeks did not feel that long.
The crying is normal. I call my tears kisses. When Tom was here I could show my love with kisses. Now my tears are expressions of the love that lives on after he is gone. I do not make excuses for my tears and neither should you.
If you need to talk, I am here to listen and understand.
