well before it was pretty predictable.She would go out to do what she does (nothing bad) I would enjoy those moments. The die had pretty well been cast for a long time for us. I wonder if it would be different if I paid attention to her health.Its hard to say she went on dialysis in 2008 .We got married in1977.So there must have been a time where her kidneys started to fail. Did she ever pay attention to her health or maby I should have. I don,t know.I guess there things you have no control over.We didn,t have a outwardily loving marriage(hugging .kissing presents going out) but we did alright in a sense. I was pretty well dependent on her.She made some terrible decisions,some I feel if I jumped in might have saved us a lot of grief. I wasn .t a real man for her.I started to develope some terrible coping mechanisms in dealing with her "temper tantrums" well.ll leave it at that. I don,t think she saw it that way we let things fall where they may.

 

There is no use anaylizing what has gone on . It just happended as dysfuntional as it gets. Its a terrible burden for someone so dependent for decision making on someone else.We had some good times though.

So there is a void,a dark space which your thrust into and try to work yourself out,

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
