Hi. I am new. I lost my adult son, Casey about eight months ago. His death was accidental and was and still is a tremendous shock to my wife and me. I feel my life has been turned upside down. I feel like a car going down the street with no steering wheel. I joined this group to perhaps find other people who feel and see the world as I do now. I guess I feel alone and want to finds others who understand.

You came to the right place, Neil. There is also a group, both online and in person, called The Compassionate Friends, for parents who have lost a child of any age. I also lost my adult son suddenly. He was on a cruise with his wife and died of an apparent heart attack. I'm sorry we all have reason to be in this group, but welcome.

Neil , I know how you feel. This shouldnt ever happen to anyone, but please take comfort in the fact that you are understood. My prayers and love to you.

I am sorry for your loss. I totally understand. I loss my son a month ago. I have to talk and there's no one that is comfortable talking to me. No one wants to see me cry. So, I join groups and type. I got a counselor- free, because I can't work. I am not functional and lost a job yesterday. One suggestion to me was to drink water and walk everyday- I have a hard time leaving my house. I did it yesterday and only walked one block but it's a start. Plus, my prayers are to find a way to change the seconds of everyday that I think of my son into happy memories that give me comfort instead of making me cry. I don't ever want to let go of him and I will never forget him. I pray for the same for you.

Neil, I am sorry for the loss of your son. I hope you find this group helpful. Many of us have also lost adult children. It's a painful, incomprehensible thing to have happened.

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
