- About Me:
- I am a mom of a toddler and 9 year old stepdaughter and I work as an assessment clinician at the local community mental health center. I love the outdoors, reading, writing, and creating mixed media art.
- About my Loss:
- I lost my beloved dad to pancreatic cancer May 2nd of this year (2017). I was beside him for his last breath with my then 14-month old daughter on my lap. Weeks after he died I learned that his wife was spending time with another man in the garage while my dad was in the house dying, and that was too much for me to bear. I had told my dad that his wife and I would remain in each other's lives, but now I find myself completely unable to tolerate even the thought of her. That situation complicated my grief.

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…"
