- About Me:
- I was with my husband for 30 years; now I am at the bargaining stage: Could I have been a better wife was there something more I could have done? I had been saying the Serenity Prayer, then the three 'C's followed by meditation on wishing my husband would get help and be the man I married again.
- About my Loss:
- My husband died alone on the bathroom floor on or around 20 Dec but his body wasn't found until the 23rd. My daughter and I were in Spain on Holiday when we got the news. I had been going to AL anon since 2004, and tried an intervention with his family in 2007. Nothing wouldn't work. He was fired 2011 due to his drinking and sat in the house the last 30 months chasing Xanax and Zoloft with a bottle of vodka starting before lunch.

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…"
