- About Me:
- I work as a case manager for a non-profit organization and am 57. I have 27 year old twin sons and my daughter 38. I also have 5 grandchildren.
- About my Loss:
- My daughter had surgeries and became dependent on prescription drugs during a period of 14 years. Long story short, she was found on the floor of a motel room she was staying at for the weekend with another mother and her children. My 4 year old granddaughter found her. This was April 13th, 2014. She had no insurance and so I spent the last two weeks raising enough money to bury her and have a viewing for her children because they wanted to say goodbye. Now that everyone has gone home and I am alone, this is hitting me so hard. I miss her so much...

I miss her random texts
I miss her random texts. We had communication almost daily. I miss her calling and leaving a voice message on my phone that starts out "Hi Mommy It's Me..."
Even though she was 38 she still sounded like my little girl and called me mommy.
A few years ago she lived in a different state and sent me a page she colored out of a coloring book. I will cherish it…

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…"

I am so sorry you have had to come here. Your daughter is beautiful and your loss is so new. My heart knows what you are feeling as do most of us on here. I hope you will have support from family and friends and also here. It's a rough journey. Allow yourself to grieve and get through each day as it comes.
I also lost my son to a prescription medication, but he had other problems as well. He had just turned 41. I am going on 4 years and it has gotten to where I have kinder and gentler days but it takes time.
I pray you are given strength and compassion as you work through this.
