Profile Information
- About Me:
- I will soon undergo the empty nest syndrome my youngest graduates from HS next month. My oldest is already a freshman in college. I am very well educated and lawyer by training. I also FINALLY ended an emotional and physically abusive marriage (19 yrs) two years ago. I enjoy my career and social life. I have awesome children and the 2-3 people I consider friends are indeed friends.
- About my Loss:
- I lost my father almost 20 years ago. He died of a massive heart attack. Quickly and cleanly. He left the house to take care of business and did not come home. I lost my mother recently in March of 2010. She got sick on my birthday in November of 2009. She had a brain tumor and she never fully recovered. She tried so hard to. I was in a bad place because I knew my sisters were prepared to try any and everything to keep her alive especially my youngest sister. I was the more practical one but I had to hold it within because I did not want to be accused of giving up. I was also viewed as the corporate bossy one so I had to be a bit more low key to keep the peace. I also acted as a referree when my two sisters argued about the care of my mother. My mom died a horrible slow death. She suffered. I was seeing a therapist with my girls after my husband and I separated but I also see him on a monthly and of course I talk about my mother. She was indeed a beautiful person and miss her so much. She was the glue that kept all my brothers and sisters and I together. Sometimes I feel good but at night I have an especially bad time.

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…"
