How

My child, my child I miss you

This anguish I cannot bear

My mind seeks for answers
Of why heaven needs you there
I'm jealous of the angels
Who came to take you home
And left me bereft and hollow
... left me here to mourn
Did not they know I needed you
that I'd shed a million tears
Do they know how much I love you
How much I want you here
Why did they not take the agony
they knew your loss would bring
How come I do not feel the comfort
which comes beneath their wing
How do I sleep in a restless world
How do I face the dawn
How do I mend a shattered heart
when the part that was you is gone

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
