I Can Hear you Whisper - by Sandy Goodman
I CAN HEAR YOU WHISPER
In the mornings
I reserve my drive time
To say hello to you
And to feel you surround me
With your violet eddy of emotions.
In the beginning, a hundred years ago (or was it yesterday?),
My trips to town were for crying,
For screaming,
For asking you over and over and over again
WHY YOU HAD TO LEAVE,
But now it's different.
Now we share the sunrise.
We listen to music,
We reach for love,
I talk . . .
About your brothers, about work, about what I need to do next.
You listen.
And sometimes,
If I am really really quiet
And the sky is especially beautiful
I can hear you whisper.
I didn't know before
That love could be this strong,
And I only know it now
. . . Because you left.

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…"
