Profile Information
- About Me:
- I teach at a small private 4-year liberal arts college in the upper midwest. I am a musician and trying to work on writing for pleasure.
- About my Loss:
- I lost my grandmother in May of 2010, on my graduation day from my doctorate and her 88th birthday. On November 2 we lost our first furson, Schroeder Braveheart, to kidney failure. Of course I'm sad about my grandmother, but she is in heaven with my grandfather (the only place she ever wanted to be), whom we lost in 2002. I'm having an unbelievably hard time getting over Schroeder. He was truly an "angel boy" and I feel like I am never going to be whole again. My grieving is affecting his "sister" Macy, and I don't want my grief to bring her down. She's 10 and in seeming perfect health, and yet I now have this completely irrational fear that she's going to die immediately.

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…"
