- About my Loss:
- September 28, 2013 my father-in-law passed away. My son and his wife and children fell on some hard times and could not afford rent and utilities. So in January 2013 they moved into my old house rent free they just had to pay utilities. October 28, 2013 there was a house fire. A 4 year old granddaughter and a 2 year old granddaughter passed away. October 29, 2013 my son, an 11 year old granddaughter and a 2 year old granddaughter passed away. The 2 year olds were identical twins. On November 12, 2013 my daughter-in-law passed away D/T injuries from the house fire. November 26, 2013 my mother-in-law passed away. November 30, 2013 while attending her services our house was robbed. All within a 2 month period. My father-in-law and mother-in-law deaths were expected. He had cancer and she just gave up after he passed. My son, daughter-in-law, and grandbabies are the hardest to deal with. The twins were micro preemies when they were born weighing in at 2 pound 3 ounces and 1 pound 13 ounces they survived that and one had a very hard first year on and off life support only to make it to 2 years 9 month. The 4 year old just started pre-k. My son had been through the school of hard knocks, Still busting his butt to provide for his family taking any job working long hours. He could still smile and joke and dearly loved his family. The 11 year old was highly intelligent and earned all kinds of achievement awards and an avid reader. My daughter-in-law could make the most beautiful quilts. It is just very hard. I do not care to be out and around people. My doctor will not allow me to go back to work. I was given till the 19ih of this month or I would lose my job. I am tired of being told you have to move on and others saying take your time to grieve. I just was hoping to find someone somewhere with a similar experience that can tell me what helped them. This hole in my heart is too large and too painful.

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…"
