Haven't posted in awhile

I have not been on this site in over a year. To update everyone, my mom passed away two years ago this Christmas and my step-dad passed away two weeks after her. My brother and I put together a double memorial service for the both of them and it was pure hell for the first year. This past year I concentrated on mourning and hopefully this next year will bring about healing.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all who have gone through this holiday season after losing someone that they loved. It will get better, but until it does, do not feel bad about greiving. Your body needs to do it in order to heal your heart.

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
