I met a man over the phone by accident five years ago and we immediately hit it off. We lived 1489 miles apart and we never once met in person. We would spend hours each day on the phone laughing and talking in ultimate bliss. He was my very best friend. He was married but not happily. No one in his life knew about me and no one in my life knew about him. I found out that he died on facebook on March 8, 2012. I hadn't heard from him in over a week which was very odd. One night I called him and his "voicemail box was full". I knew something was terribly wrong. It was a strange feeling not being able to get a hold of him. I thought his elderly mother might have died. In fact my feelings were hurt because he would have told me if something tragic had happened. Later that night I decided to go to his facebook page to see if he had put out a message with any information. When I saw 1963 - 2012 after his name I fell to the floor and sobbed like a baby. To this day I have no idea what the cause of his death was. He was only 49 years old.

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
