- About Me:
- My first significant loss was my mom, when I was two. I've been hurt and healing ever since.
- About my Loss:
- Because I didn't know that I COULD grieve my mom, I never did. So when I lost be best friend from college when we were 32, I just added to my already existing grief. In 2007, the mom who adopted me when I was 4 passed away. At that point, I had a better understanding of how to grieve in a healthy way. I recently lost my dog of 10 years, who I adopted to help me heal, and a month later, I lost my 27 year old nephew in a car wreck.

- I would like to be, but I want to make certain I am being appropriate and respectful.
I have recently finished an album designed to help people heal, and I would like your insight and direction on how to let people know about it without being predatory.
If you can go to www.bringyoujoy.world and give it a quick glance, I would appreciate your thoughts on the best and most sensitive way to let people know about it, and what options would be available to me.
Many thanks for your feedback.

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…"

Hello ,
How is everything with you, my name is Charles McGrath,I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately.
