- About my Loss:
- I had dated Cory before I went in the Navy in 1981. I broke up with her due to some bad advice and an ultimatum a previous girlfriend gave me. It all amounted to jealousy getting the best of me. The breakup was awful and stretched out over a month. A year later I was waiting for my bride to walk down the aisle though my mind was on Cory. That marriage didn't last long. 22 years went by and I never stopped loving or thinking of Cory. No matter where I was in the world or who I was with she was always in my thoughts. I had looked for Cory every time I visited my parents on leave but of course at that time there was no internet and I never found her. I assumed Cory had married, moved away, was living happily ever after and never expected to have a chance to see her again. After I retired from the Navy a job near my hometown brought me back and I was married a few years later. 6 months went by and a visiting old friend mentioned Cory. Evidently she had been here the whole time. I found her on Facebook and she had married a mutual friend 7 years prior and had children. I tried to friend her but she never accepted. I tried once or twice more hoping a new friend notice would work but again, she didn't accept. She may not have ever seen it as she wasn't very active on her page. So I let it go and was content to know she was near and that someday we would probably run into each other as it was a small town and we knew a lot of the same people. Years went by and it occurred to me how awful it would be for Cory or me to pass away without ever having spoken again so I planned to just got to her house and say what I had to say. About this same time my father was dying, he passed then my mother got terminally ill and needed care, Covid came and things were kind of a mess. While visiting my mother in the hospital the day after Christmas 2 years ago a friend messaged me and said that earlier in the week Cory had lain down for a nap and never woke up. The worst possible outcome happened and here I am, still grieving for Cory.

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…"
