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

I'm so sorry for your lost Dawn! Your grandson is so lucky to have you!
Dear Dawn
I'm not sure if you got my message . I have tried twice and somehow keep messing it up! I am just so sorry for your loss. I lost my only child 7 months ago in a car accident. It is hard to get through each day. We will never stop grieving, just learn ways to deal with it. Please try to enjoy your granddaughter and nurture her as you did your own. Your daughter is watching you with gratitude and love I'm sure.
Connie
You ok Dawn.
Our son died of a "cardiac event" which I guess is a heart attack...my husband did CPR on him until the EMT's arrived...nothing...so sudden..so shocking...we still can hardly believe it...except he's not HERE...I too need to talk about my son...I can't just accept that now he's gone and that's all there is...He was SO alive ...how can he not still BE....I think we NEED to keep remembering and sharing...not just about their deaths...but ESPECIALLY about their LIVES....I'm going to try to do that ....
