Profile Information

About Me:
I am a 44 year old divorced mother of 2 sons. Kelly is 20 and Devon is 17. They are my world. I have 3 sisters - Tracy, Julie and Jenny. My father and step-mother live 8-9 hours away.
About my Loss:
My mother passed away at the age of 72 on August 23, 2010 after a series of misdiagnoses and very ailing health for many years. Not only am I grieving the loss, I have put up a wall between myself and the world. I am hurt and feel betrayed by my loved ones and am not sure how to deal with it. I am not seeking attention... I just want to enjoy getting up in the mornings again and feel a sense of purpose.

I joined this site because of the loss of my mother, but I also lost a son due to prematurity on February 7th 1983. He was 27 hours old, I was 16 years old. I was never able to hold him, but I did touch his little hand, and his tiny right hand fingers squeezed my left pinky for just a moment. At the time, I was told it would be wise to avoid discussing him so as not to cause a commotion. I kept him inside for many years but around the time my son would have been 18, I snapped and realized I still needed to grieve. What hurts is knowing I may be the only person who remembers him, as he was not around long enough to impact anyone elses life.

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
