Just the thought of holidays coming make me sad, because he will not be here. It's so hard to believe that he's gone. I keep thinking, randomly, things about him and i don't even remember that he's not here anymore, but then i do and it sends a wave of shocking pain and sadness over me. I hate this... I just want to be better again, but I'd feel bad if i got over it, i know i would. But what else can I do? I know I'll have to be OK again someday... I just don't want it to be now. And the holidays are going to be hard, Thanksgiving and Christmas, because of going up to visit Kenny and his family. But it'll all be different, because I'll be alone. Never, for big holidays like this, have I ever been without him to come with me. And thinking that he wont be here this year just makes me feel worse. I don't know how I'm going to stand it...

I am thinking I will find a homeless shelter and volunteer on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Keep busy helping out wherever I am needed. I dont think I can do a regular celebration this year.

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
