- About Me:
- 38 year old mother of 3. 12, 8 and 7. I work as a nurse and am doing the best that I can for my family.
- About my Loss:
- My husband passed in January after a heart attack caused by arterial blood clots. We aren’t clear what caused them but think they are related to low testosterone treatment. He fought hard for two weeks and was on the transplant list before his body started shutting down and there was nothing else we could do. We tried dialysis one last time but his heart couldn’t handle it and he passed away. He was only 42. We had been together for 19.5 years and married for 15 years. The immense loneliness is suffocating. It’s been 7 months and it still feels like yesterday. I still cry everyday and am wondering when the pain will start to ease if ever. I look at my kids and it hurts so much that he isn’t here to see them grow. I only hope I can be what they need to be happy healthy kids. Putting on a brave face gets harder and harder but I get up everyday with hope it’s better than the last.

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…"
