T*A*P*S (ALL Military related deaths/ Gold star Families)
Information
With the increase in death of all manners in the Military, survivors need a place to come together and find comfort and people to relate to.
Some people say that when a military person dies, their entire family's life is changed drastically. Often forced to move off base, kids have to change schools and more all in under a year.
It's vital to understand you are not alone and there is a "family" of those who have and are going through it with you.

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.
