Havent been on in awhile, but I have read the post.
I have been working on my anger with my husband and it is getting better.
I go to grief counseling with my church and it helps a lot.
it has been 2 yrs and 7 months now and it feels like yesterday.
The evenings are the worst, very lonely.
I try to keep busy during the day.
The friends that stay in touch, try to help, and I am grateful for that.
Its is good to know that all of you have the…

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

Dear Jackie, I just read your post. My heart feels your pain. I too lost my husband Sept. 29, 2010 from liver cancer due to alcoholism...He was 55 years old. Three months later I was run over in a parking lot by someone driving an SUV and texting. They also backed off. After much time I am not able to function like I was and miss my husband immensely, I too know what it is like for friends to scatter. I can't even work and have no other family. I connect with a few on line support groups that are helpful. I suggest you look into Al-Anon if you haven't already. Be easy on your self and know you are not alone. Painfully Ellen, HUGS to you.
