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.

Theresa, thank you so much for the words of wisdom. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss. Whilst reading your "About my Loss" section, I got the chills when I read that your mother also died of "complications" related to alcoholism. My heart aches knowing the pain that comes with said "diagnosis."
Thank you also for offering me someone to talk to. The same goes for you, as well. I'm might be new to "learning" how to deal with all of this, but I'm always willing to be a listening ear.
Take care. <3
