I have been married over 23 years. I lost my son 7months ago and now my husband and I can't even talk without yelling. I did not know it was this bad, I guess until cause we don't know what to say to one another  anymore. I just want everyone to know if you loss a child often times the marriage is gone too. We are like room mates.

I have experienced the same in my marriage. I have so much anger that I do not know what to do with it. We are not able to talk about my son without me getting angry and it is not like he says anything bad I just take everything the wrong way. I have given up on most everything and everyone in my life as losing my son (who is my world) forever destroyed me. My husband and I do not sleep in the same room anymore. Most days I do not want to be around anyone, just by myself. I can not watch TV  I have to keep busy because if I don't then my head plays with me and I try to figure out what went wrong and look at all the things I did wrong. Every time I think of my son being gone forever and never seeing him again or hearing his voice is like a knife that cuts deeper and deeper killing me. Most days I just wish it would because I do not know how to go on. 

Please try to be gentle with yourselves. Everyone grieves differently, especially men and women. You are both suffering from the worst possible thing a parent could ever have to face. Try not to let it destroy 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
