My 14 year old son shot himself in the head

on July 31, of last year.  I have such an urgent need to hear or feel from him.  I miss him so much and am glad to have found a place where others are going through the same mourning and loss.  I take it that it never gets better.  I just wanted to say hello, I am feeling hollow inside and can't write at this moment but wanted to say hello.

You are feeling and thinking the exact things that I am. You are doing the exact things that I am doing.. I am having a "Birthday party" for my son on September 12th.. his birthday, too.
I can help you feel better if you will listen to me.. I am doing it and it is working.It is true that everyones grief is different and it is true that we all have to go through it in our own time and in our own way... but your brain is searching for something to make it feel better, thats where are the crazy thoughts and behaviors come from... you arent going crazy, your emotions are, once you accept that you can find the rest of the answers on your own and I can tell you how if you will let me... you dont need to live like this... there is a solution to your pain and it has nothing to do with forgetting your son or god or what anyone else thinks or feels.. all it has to do with is 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. 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

"Hi Rosa, First, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Losing someone you love only two days ago is incredibly painful, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling unsure about what to do right now. Personally, I don’t…"
