Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm a single mom of 5 children, 2 which are now living on their own, but 3 boys still at home. My children range from 25-7 years old. The majority of my family lives in other states except for my one brother and myself.
- About my Loss:
- My dad died in July of 1994 and I was able to accept it, grieve and move on with his memories. It was when my mom died in October 1999, I couldn't accept the fact that she was gone as my only support system was no longer there. I grieved, but I was never able to let go. I've hung on to things that belonged to my mom and haven't been able to let them go as I fear I am also letting my mom go. Simply put, I'm stuck.

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…"
