- About my Loss:
- I lost my mother on May 19, 2011 at the age of 85. It started in Feb. with a stroke and I tried to take care of her in her home but it was too much. She went to a NH and fell and had a massive brain bleed. She quit eating and drinking and just went down hill. I saw her everyday when she was ill and called her everyday at 5:00 pm just to say hi for the last 10 years. I have also lost my dad in 2002 and my older sister 35 yeras ago.

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.
