I am so sorry you too have faced the passing of your husband.  Kathy here are some hugs for when the numbness wears off.  I believe the numbness is our brains way of protecting us from feeling all the pain in one tidal wave.  I hope you have a support system of family and friends to help you as this curtain starts to lift because I have to warn you it will get worse, or it sure did for me both after my son died suddenly and when my husband died after a very brief struggle with cancer.

I hear you Cathy.

I lost mine on May 31st after a short 12 week battle with cancer.

Feel free to go to my page and read what happened.

I am still kind of numb too, in fact sometime I still wonder what I am doing on this site.

I suppose I'm here trying to find something, but I really dont know what that is yet.

I totally understand that you sometimes wonder what you are doing on this site.  I am glad to know I am not going crazy and the numbness is a normal part of the grief process.  I am so sorry for

loss Polly.  May God wrap His strong arms around you and comfort you.

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
