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.

Hi Carol, Im really sorry you are dealing with the same pain I am. To answer your question about making big changes, one of the last conversations I had with my husband was one on this subject. He made me promise to not make any big changes for the one year. I promised, I told him I would be ok, I promised to be ok and within hours the cancer took control of his brain and we had to keep him medicated and asleep for his own good. He passed in that drugged sleep 18 hours later. I think he needed to know everything was in place for me and then he let go. So I will stay in this house, keep his truck, but there is no rule saying when you feel ready you cant change your situation. I believe we have to trust ourselves enough to know what is right for us. As long as you are not feeling pressure from some other source, do what you feel is right
I've heard not to make any big changes for 1 year after a loss. Is it true? We moved south for 1 year and came back to be with family at the end. He passed in Nov 2011. We had our house for sale and it didn't sell. I'm thinking of moving out of our house, it has too many memories. I'm thinking about starting over at a new place. Is it too soon to make a decision?
