- About Me:
- Well. I'm not sure about this but its nearly 2:am and I'm sitting in the dark .talking to my husband like hes still here!!I am extremely depressed and have a problem with depression.I lost my Dad in March 2016.I was Daddys girl .my husband helped me thru that and then in 2018 my husband had cancer again after 5 yrs.he passed away may 27th.2019.my mom now has colon cancer .she does not want any kind of treatment because she wants to be with my Dad.so I'm going to lose her soon.I do not blame her for no treatment I would do the same thing..I read some comments by others how they are having trouble moving on.and will not ever want any other man.and how lost they are and have no friends anymore.Well I thought I was the only one who felt that way.Im barely getting by without him.financially and emotionally.I also PROMISED my husband I would NOT try to follow him.He knew me well.Cause if not for that promise I wouldn't be here.losing him is devastating.He was my best friend and I find out now my ONLY friend.Its harder being a woman alone .I think if I had gone first he could have handled it better and wouldn't have because I'm a woman.He told me to move out of here but I stayed because everything in this house and yard reminds me of him.men say it's been over a yr now and I should start dating again.I will never date again and wish they would just stop.I do NOT want another man.we were together 14 yrs. And I think about him constantly.i miss him so much I want to be with him.He was the love of my life.so all those men show me is how lucky I was to gave a man like Ross.my husband.I took full care of him .he was home hospice came out and checked his vitals but he would only let me take care of him.at the end he had attach and couldn't talk .so he wrote notes.i still find them.losing my Dad was so hard but losing my soulmate .my best friend.is excruciating. I just saw some of the comments and said hey that's how I feel.
- About my Loss:
- I'm having a very hard time keeping my faith.and moving on.I dont hardly eat .usually have trouble sleeping even tho I'm on sleeping med.basically just miserable without him .that's all I can say right now.my memories are painful because I want him so bad.NOBODY out of our friends is a friend.u really find out in the hardest times who your real friends are and who really cares.Theres so much more I just cant really express it right now.just couldn't believe a comment I read where she felt the same way.i will also always consider myself married. Well thank u .

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…"
