Deeply saddened when alcoholic boyfriend died suddenly. We were together 4 yrs. The last 1 1/2 he was over drinking. 2 weeks before his death he showed thinking confusion and was leaving me horrible mean messages on phone. So I ignored him 2 weeks. When I tried to call no answer. Then his friend came over told me he died.
No warning, no closure, severe grief!
How can I get through this?
I hope there are some answers.

Hi Carrie, my girlfriend dieed 5 years ago. She lived in ~Canada and I live in Scotland. I visited her often because she couldn't travel. She had type 1 diabetes and caught a cross contamination in a foot wound. She was attending a wound clinic that passed on the infection. Sadly she died within 3 days. Her funeral was arranged so quickly, I didn't have time to go out there to say goodbye properly. A few months afterwards, I went slowly downhill and found myself in a Clinical depression. Life wasn't worth living. Although i'm on the other side of me coming to terms with my loss. I miss her every single day. Sorry to say, there is no easy answer. Grief is a very personal thing. I do feel for your loss as we share that pain and the emotions surrounding our loss. It is simply one day at atime, often one minute, or one hour, or one second at a time. Hereis a big huggg from Scotland, John

Hi Anne, thanks for reply. Yes it is a constant struggle when unexpected.
I am seeking counseling to learn how to get over all of the wondering if I could’ve done something more to help him. Been 1 month. Sorry for your loss too. I guess we just gotta get up and out. New sights do break up some of the depressed moments.

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
