- About Me:
- I'm 55 years old, and have three adult children - two daughters and a son. I have three grandchildren and a small dog who I love to walk and play with. I worked for 18 years as a manager of a workshop for adults with disabilities, but took redundancy last year when my husband became terminally ill, following a three year battle with throat cancer. I now work part time in an administrative position. I now enjoy cinema, swimming and spending time with family.
- About my Loss:
- I lost my husband in June 2015 -.11 months ago. He had been ill for three years with throat cancer, and had undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy, plus five major surgeries, removing his throat and leaving him with a permanent tracheostomy to breathe. I cared for him all the time he was ill, and when he became terminal I left work to look after him at home, where he died peacefully, with support from hospice at home team. I was married at the age of 17, and we were married for 36 years. I am lost without him.

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.

Thank you for your comment. I can relate to years of cancer since my husbands cancer started also in the throat three years ago. There were so many ups and downs thinking one treatment would work and then another cancer showing up again. He passed away this morning and was very peaceful. I know he is with Jesus and that is where he wanted to be. He has been ready for a while. I am heartbroken of course, but I also feel at peace knowing that he is over his trauma and experiencing paradise. Day by day now and planning for the service.
