Today while I was eating lunch I had the television on, just as I always do.

I can't even remember what show I was watching now..

I had my head down, looking at my lunch- not in a sad mopey way but looking at what I was picking up with my fork. All of a sudden I heard Becky's voice. For real, not in my mind. I looked up and there she was. As beautiful as ever and alive. 

Months ago her and her boyfriend went on the show Judge Judy over a dispute with breeding their dog. It's airing tomorrow so the network was playing a preview. The timing was just horrible..

I had completely forgotten. I never thought that I'd see her blink again or smile or talk or tuck her long dark hair behind her ear. My heart stopped for what felt like an eternity and tears just spilled from my eyes like it all hit me again that she's gone.

And, then, there he was. That monster, standing next to her. I wanted to reach through the screen and hit him and strangle him and scream everything thought and feeling I've had towards him since that phone call. But I couldn't.

This isn't fair. I was having a okay day- better then I have lately- and then this. This awful reminder that she isn't with us anymore and HE was the reason. Right there in front of me and I could do nothing. This feeling, this pain, this helplessness. It washes over me when I least expect it to but today it was harsher. I never ever expected to see her or hear her. Maybe in my dreams but not at work. This is so unbearable, I don't know how anyone survives this awful pain.

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
