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.

Mark,
My mother was murdered too 28 years ago. Counselors could not help me because, they did not know what to say. The old story is you don't know what to say...Don't say anything...for your protection and theirs. She was shot with a shot gun..no way for her to survive. She left me her oldest child her two children. I had to grow up real fast...so I am going to tell you this...you will always have people that commit crimes in your S-list. You will move on as the days move. Now, I am back in the same situation it seems like, cause my son was Shot..and the girl he was with telling everyone he shot himself. I know he did not but can not get DA or Detectives to take the case serious and re-investigate it.
