- About my Loss:
- My husband has been terminally ill since he lost his left leg and all but 4 feet of intestines to a rare genetic blood clotting disorder 3 1/2 years ago. The doctors told me it would be a miracle if he live a year. I have fought tooth and nail to find him the best medical care and bring him back to the best possible health. He was butchered by the doctors who performed the original surgeries which left his Sciatic nerve exposed in his amputation and left foreign material in his abdomen which caused him to get gangrene and rot for 8 months. He has gone through 49 major operations during all this and there is no cure for his disease or his pain. I have come here because my husband is tired of fighting for his life everyday as his condition worsens. I am helpless as I watch my husband die and lose his will to even fight. I am lost but must remain strong for our 9 year old son. What do I do???

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…"

Tanya thanks for adding me as a friend. If I can help you in any way, please ask. You dont have to be alone on this journey when others have walked it too.
Tanya, you are dealing with so much. I know, I did it for only a few months but it is exhausting both physically and emotionally. And all the while knowing what the end means. The guilt of wanting them to stay no matter how much they are suffering. The pain of watching someone you love so dearly wither away. The pressure to stay positive for him and your child so you dont add to their worries. You have come to a place where there are so many who understand because we have been where you are now. Please accept this cyber hug because you need it girl!
