- About Me:
- I am a 52 year old mother who lost the yougest of her three children. He was only 25. Icalled him Nathaniel because it means a gift from God. They say it was an overdose that he died of. They say April 8th, 2009. But I say April 7th 2009.
- About my Loss:
- I would give anything in the wqrld to have been with him holding him in my arms that night. Nathan had a hard time struggling with life, love, and alcohol and drugs but he was still my gift from God. I feel very guilty over his death like I could have changed that last day or that last week or the last fights or especially the last things I said. It was five months ago and it feels like its even getting more painful every second of every day. There's many times that I don't want to be without him.

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…"

We all share the bond of grief on this website and after the tragic death of my 33 daughter daughter (and only child) I found compassion and understanding with the other members.
Like you there are so many times I feel I just want to be with her...
My experience with this "thing called grief" is that it gets worse before it gets better and others have told me it never really leaves us, we just learn to cope with it as the days go on. (my daughter was killed in a tragic accident on Memorial Day of this year)
Writing about my daughter has really helped me cope and sharing with the other members seems to help.
Take care.
Sincerely,
Laura
