About Me:
I am 58yrs old and have 3 adults sons. We are currently staying with our youngest son and his wife since last year because of my Husband's illnesses. We were planning on going back to Nevada the first week of Oct. 2016. Just trying to figure out my life alone now.
About my Loss:
My Husband was my world. Last year he had a minor stroke and some other issues. March of this year Frank was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and finished his first round of treatments 8/26/16. I took him in to his Oncologist in Sept.14 and asked her to listen to his chest because our kids had been sick. She heard crackling in the lungs but refused to put him on anything until the 28th. He went to the hospital 10/03 and was discharged 10/18 after being on the Ventilator in ICU the whole time because of severe pneumonia. The surgeon before said he had 5yrs because of the cancer. The Drs. in the hospital said he should have been treated sooner and wasn't. He came home on oxygen and other things because the hospital had said there was nothing else that they could do for him. He was getting worse. Hospice was called in on 11/03/16 and by Sunday, Nov 6th my Husband was gone. We were looking ahead for the next five years and had so many plans. He was taken early because someone refused putting him on antibiotics or getting a CT sooner. I am lost without Frank. I cry everyday and my heart is broken. We were married almost 18 years and he was the love of my life. Its been 3 weeks today since my Frank left me. I am just empty. Not looking forward to Christmas as all or any other holidays for awhile. I understand with everyone on here how the loss of your spouse hurts so much. I know we all have to grieve, it just hurts so much. My thoughts are with everyone who has lost someone in their lives.

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…"
