About Me:
I'm 47, happily married mother of 2 with 2 step children and 5 grandchildren. I'm blessed with a great family and a great circle of friends.
About my Loss:
My oldest brother Val passed away suddenly at the young age of 51, four weeks ago today. I know it happened but it doesn't seem real.My Dad passed away at the age of 40 in 1973. My mother is still alive,now she is in a club no mother wants to be in, my heart aches for her. I can't come to grips with my own grief I'm so worried about her. We go over and over things but the reality of it is that he's gone. I do believe he is in a better place, he hasn't had a very happy life the past 5 years.He has lived with an alcoholic woman for the past 25 years they never married.She was functional up until the last 5 years.I have so much resentment towards her I know she didn't kill him but stress definetly took his toll on him. He was at work and a customer found him in his yard. We know it was instant we'll find out soon when the autopsy comes back.This is such a nightmare I just want to wake up. I loved Val deeply,my protecter is gone.I have a great husband but I feel like I'm talking about it so much that he's getting tired of hearing it. He has never said that and he loved my brother also, maybe I'm just sick of talking about it. I want the hurt to disappear,and him to come back, greif is so confusing.I thought our family had enough with my Dad dying at such a young age, we've lost all our grandparents, that's expected.It feels good to write this down, I believe in the Lord and I know he's in heaven with my Dad our grandparents and his precious dog Rufus.I know he doesn't have to suffer anymore....but I still want him back. Thanks

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…"
