- About my Loss:
- My husband passed away on April 26, 2017. It was a normal Wednesday. He has asthma so its not uncommon for him to have an episode. That night he had a little trouble breathing and we thought it was his asthma. I brought him his inhaler and when that didn't help brought him a different inhaler. When that didn't work and his symptoms were getting worse he used his nebulizer. His hands were shaky so I held it for him. He said he felt like he was going to pass out and I said I was going to call 911. He complained of being to hot and asked if I would turn the air conditioning on higher. I ran downstairs turned the air down and was dialing 911. I didn't hear anything and thought he was better. When I went into the bedroom he was gone. His eyes were open and he wasn't responding. I started screaming as I dialed 911. I couldn't stop screaming. The operator had me pull him off the bed onto the floor and she led me through preforming CPR. The EMR people came and took over. within 20 minutes there were 15 people in my bedroom trying to help my husband. Its hard for me to recall that night, I felt so helpless and guilty, if I had only called 911 sooner. It seemed like just an asthma episode like 1000 other times. I couldn't believe it when the doctor in the hospital ER told me his electrical system of his heart failed and there was no coming back from that, he died.

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…"
