- About Me:
- I was married an alcoholic for 10 years before I finally divorced him. He had lost his job and was on disability due to his alcoholism. We have one son who was 8 when he lost his dad.
- About my Loss:
- I was still very much in love with Ron. I had hoped the divorced would help him sober up. He had been in rehab 3 times before which didn't work. During the divorce, he drinking increased. The damage to his liver was done, and he had veraces. After a procedure to repair holes in his throat, one bled out. I knew he could die any day, but I thought we had a few more years. He was 46. My son struggles but isn't ready to discuss it. I cry every chance I get without him seeing. I have also cried in front of him a few times to show him that it is ok. I can't see to get over the hump and start feeling some happiness again. I don't know who to talk to about it.

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…"
