Profile Information
- About Me:
- Canadian citizen, was married for over 18 years, now a widower. I am on disability for PTSD and concussion from a car accident.
- About my Loss:
- My beautiful wife Julie had muscular dystrophy. She was in a wheelchair since childhood. In early 2019, she started having breathing issues related to her MD. She spent 7 weeks in an ICU and had a tracheostomy. She was doing very good after that. She was transferred to a nursing home for therapy, and on her first night there she passed away. I believe it was because there was only 2 nurses for over 40 patients, and they ignored her when she called to have her trach hose cleared, and she choked to death. But the death certificate showed "respiratory failure" which was purely to protect the nursing home from lawsuit. That's the American health system.

Losing Someone to Drug Overdose
If you've lost someone you loved due to them overdosing on drugs, let's talk about it here.See More
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…"
