Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm a 52-year-old recent widow. I live in MA and have my own calligraphy business and am the Hallmark manager of a local Paper Store. I was fortunate to find the perfect man when I was 39 1/2 and to spend almost 13 years with him. We were married on the 9th anniversary of our first date.
- About my Loss:
- Paul was 48. He was the best man I will ever know, and no one will ever get me like he did. He wasn't feeling well four days after Christmas, but not anything unusual. I left to get my nails done, and when I came home, I found him unresponsive in our bathtub. I was unable to revive him with CPR, and neither were the EMTs or the doctors at the hospital. It was a massive heart attack, and I am still waiting for the final autopsy report. My world is shattered and will never be the same.

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…"
