- About Me:
- My brother was diagnosed with Colon cancer that had spread to his liver just two weeks ago. They did surgery for his colon and he was to follow up with chemo for his liver but died in the hospital after surgery. We were just trying to get over the shock of learning he had cancer and then he died. I was very close to my brother. It takes everything I have to just get out of bed. Watching my parents crumble is also killing me. Where do you go from here? How do you go on living when your world has crumbled. Need support badly.

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…"

Betty or anyone on this list. Tell me where to send it and I will send you either electronically or by snail mail, whichever you prefer, a handout I give to all of my support groups titled "Nine Proven Survival Skills for Coping with Loss & Change." Betty, the most important thing to do now is find someone you trust and won't try to fix you, and talk about what you are feeling. You can get through this devastating loss. Keep telling yourself that very thing. Lou
