years ago...on an old message board...I met a woman named Terry. She introduced me to her brother Kevin. Kevin became like my brother. He believed in me when I no longer believed in myself. And I loved him. We all reside in different states but managed to get together, the most recent visit in June. I just found out that he was found in a parking lot around midnight. It looks like a heart attack.

I cannot breathe. I called my husband, he is helping decorate one of the local churches and will not come home. I cannot be with Kevin's family right now...they are in Ohio and Canada. I cannot handle any more loss. I just can't. This has to be a bad dream.

I'm so very sorry Diane. My thoughts and prayers are with Terry and the rest of Kevin's family and for you . I know this must be such a terrible shock for everyone. I hope your husband will be able to get home soon to be with you.

My heart goes out to you my dear friend. I know how you feel with losing one person after another. What we have to keep in our hearts through all of this is our faith, knowing they are in a wonderful place, and just because they are not here physically, they will always be here emotionally and with a lot of love. I'm here if you want to talk honey. Much Love and extra strong yet gentle hugs! GB

I'm very sorry for your loss Diane! I am 45 and both of my parents are still alive. I know their time is coming soon! I have Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) I already know after either one of their deaths, I must go to the mental hospital! Death of a loved one is a horrible thing! I'm so sorry for your loss!

    Do you think anxiety is genetic or comes from your environment? What are your thoughts?

    Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ.  Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...
