About my Loss:
Although I have struggled with my own loss, my concern right now is for my friend, Ron, who lost his eldest son 2 years ago to suicide. Michael was a vibrant young man, who had a young daughter and a common-law spouse. He had asked some family members what depression felt like, but never did anyone think he would truly contemplate suicide. One day, after an argument, Michael returned to his home to find his girlfriend had left him and taken his daughter with her. Michael did not reach out to anyone...instead he chose to end his life. Ron's life has spiraled out of control since Michael's death. His marriage ended and he barely holds himself together, but tries for his other 3 children and 2 grandchildren. A man who once had mischievous dancing eyes, and who was always the rock everyone leaned on, is now quiet, subdued, sad...a shell of what he once was. Please help me find a way to give him purpose ago...a way for him to cope. Thank you.

For me the only thing that helps is others who have lived it & truly understand. Also- online helps for I dont face to actually face anyone - I can just say it like it is without feeling like an ambulance will pull in. I truly would not be here if I did not have other children. - I struggle to just be... He sounds like me... See if he will come on the site - hand him the web address or pull up the page & just ask him to read some of our stories - If it will help him - he will return....

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…"
