"Hey Patty,
That is a whole lot to go through. I too am having a rough year and can relate to those emotions. I am no stranger to losing people that I love. The latest one so far, would be Last December 2019. I lost a man that I love to…"

"I have had some recent experiences with fear and anxiety. These are melded with my grief. Every little thin g that goes off track, every time I forget a repetition or a set while exercising, I am overwhelmed with panic and fear.
I think it is due…"
"Thank you for writing to me and sharing your story. Maybe the fear for me is that I'm alone. I try not to stay focused on the fact that there gone. The sad part is my brother had a will leaving one sister as the executor of his will. My father…"
"Hi Patty - I'm new here too.
I lost my husband and my mother within months of each other. It was pretty awful. I lost my Dad about 15 years ago.
Death of a loved one is a very tough experience; we all will have to face it. But no one seems to…"
"I'm so sorry for all of your loss as well. I can't imagine having to identify your brother. It's paralyzing. The support groups are shut down here due to the virus and I was desperate to talk to someone. Thank you for listening."
"My heart goes out to you, Patty.
My brother was killed in a car accident a quarter of a century ago. My parents were also in that accident, so I was the first to try to identify what was left of my brother. I have been seeing that in my sleep ever…"
When does the fear and anxiety go away?
My mom and Dad both died this past Dec. There deaths were easy to accept as my Mom had Alzheimer's to the point where she no longer spoke not knew anyone. Visiting her was like going to get funeral each visit. My Dad was 86 and had a great life and died of natural causes. But my brother John was a shock we never saw coming. He was a healthy man that fell down to the sidewalk and died instantly a massive heart attack. He has 4 sisters who adored him. He was the glue that held us together. …See More

"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force.

Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
