Profile Information

About Me:
I'm 54 years old, I live alone and am divorced with no children. Everyone in my immediate family has died. I have four cousins, but only one speaks to me. I have two cats. Most of my friends are married with families of their own or have moved out of state.
About my Loss:
In 1981 I lost my mother to cancer. My older brother (and only sibling) Mark died of sudden cardiac death syndrome in 2001, and my father died of a heart attack the same year. My brother was my rock. We lived together most of our lives and were best friends. When he died, it changed my past, present and future. I miss him every single day, but I am finally okay again.

Hello, Lori.  I'm sorry I'm so late posting here, but I too have lost a brother.  Actually, I've lost 3 and it's difficult.  In addition, I've lost my mom and dad, who both had Alzheimer's disease.  Dad had cancer as well.  I watched them both waste away.  It was heart breaking.  One of my brother died from cancer, one from heart attack, and one for respiratory arrest (COPD).

Unlike most of you, my losses are not new, but they still affect my life every day.  When I was really lost, an online grief group was my lifeline.  I've learned that helping others also helps me, and I hope that sharing some of my experiences will encourage you to believe that things will eventually get better.

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…"
