Hi, I don't post too often, but I did contact you the last time you took prayer requests and I'd love for you to add my family to your list again this year.
Mainly for my mom, we lost her in an accident suddenly in July 2013 and it's been so hard without her. We just miss her so much and although it's tough I (irrationally) worry that she isn't resting in peace because she sees us missing her so much. Also, prayers for myself... I do feel like I've lost my way since my mom's death; so for me to find peace with all of this.
Good luck to your mom aak0517. My dad is a 4 year cancer survivor, but watching him go through the process was really hard.
Nausea candies are a great idea, we ordered my dad some through a cancer specific website, but they are basically the preggo pops you can get at any maternity store. Also, lotion would be nice. My dad was hyper sensitive to smell, so he loved anything Aveeno. A really moisturizing lip balm would be something else you could add. A warm pair of slippers too (just make sure they have grips on the bottom so she won't slip) and loose fitting pajamas. The chemo had my dad feeling really fatigued, so he didn't have it in him to read books, but magazines and ditto to the person above who mentioned a Netflix subscription. My dad journaled through out his chemo and stem cell transplant, so maybe a journal if you think your mom would like that.
I know you said you wouldn't be with your mom while she's going through treatment, but one thing my sisters and I did for my dad that he loved was put inspirational quotes all over the bathroom mirror. We just found them online and printed them out in bright colors and taped them that way he could be encouraged throughout the day. Maybe doing this while your home would be something nice for your mom to look at and think of you.
I can get pretty long winded when it comes to this, but if you need more ideas please feel free to message me!
This is a really special ring and I wear it every single day, although the story behind it may be a little strange to some. My sisters and I each bought rings with the same set of colored stones in the city where our mom suddenly passed away. We bought her a matching charm and it was buried with her. For me, it's a nice way to always feel connected to her.
We did last year when our dog was 9 years old since it was recommended by his vet. I was really apprehensive because he had never gone under before (he was neutered before we adopted him). I took him to a doggie dentist that was recommended to us versus having it done by a regular vet. Doing that did help put me at ease knowing that he was seeing someone specialized to do pet cleanings. When we went for his annual physical last week the vet was really happy with how his teeth look. I won't do it again unless it's recommended by his doctor, but he did really well, so it was nothing to worry about after all.
I will add that the doggie dentist did say that pet owners should have their dog's teeth professionally cleaned once a year, but I didn't follow that advice...
Tomorrow it will be 18 months since my mom was killed and I still hate Him, still ask why, wish that one morning I'll open my eyes and everything will go back to normal. I'm constantly yelling at the world that this shouldn't be my life. I am angry. When people say God has a plan, or she's in a better place it just pisses me off. There's nothing better then being home with the people she loves. Plus, if it was her time, why such a violent, ugly death? Why couldn't she go peacefully? I'm haunted by these questions everyday and I think I will always be. .
One thing that helped me was speaking to a random stranger where my mom died, I was so upset and she just hugged me and told me that it's ok to tell God that I'm angry, that he made a mistake just as long as im talking to Him and don't cut Him off completely. Just a simple thing to think about, but it has helped me. I haven't had it in my heart to go to church yet, one day I will, but I'm not ready. A few weeks ago me, my sister and a really close friend started doing a Bible study (Stuck). It's gotten us talking and asking those really tough questions out loud. It has helped me open my heart again to the idea that God hasn't abandoned us, even though it feels like He had.
Everything in time, I don't have any good advice because I'm working through this too, but whatever you choose: Bible study, reading, journaling, meeting with a church member, just don't close yourself off. I want to renew my faith and I think that's honestly what has helped me navigate this awful journey of losing my mom.
I used it when I was doing a major closet clean out, but I didn't have any luck and had more purchases through Ebay. I probably would have been more successful with Poshmark if I was selling super high end stuff. It's an easy app to use though, so it wouldn't hurt to post some items and see if you find buyers.
I just traveled to Yellowstone in November and we took a day trip out to Big Sky! Both are absolutely breathtaking and I would highly recommend it. Like other posters mentioned, go see the Grand Tetons if you have time, that was my favorite part of our trip.
Maybe check local dog groomers? My sister recently found a dog and checked with a groomer in the neighborhood, the employee recognized the dog and he was reunited with his owner! Good luck!
Hi everyone, sorry is this is a dumb question, but I'm confused...
I'm trying to purge my closet, so I thought I'd give Ebay a try and I sold my first item on Thursday! I got a message from Ebay telling me how to ship once payment is received. How will I know when payment is received? Will I get an email about it? Is it automatically added to my Paypal? Do I get the buyers shipping info. once payment is received? I should have probably done my research before adding listings... It's been a few days since the item was purchased, so now I just want to make sure I don't screw over the buyer.
I hope I'm not too late. I asked for you to pray for my mom last year and I ask for that again this year. It's been 16 months since we lost her and it's been such a nightmare. I just pray for her and that my dad, sisters and I find peace. Also, for my marriage. I was only married for 12 days when the accident happened and this first year of marriage without my mom has been so incredibly hard... Thank you <3
Anyone watching? I randomly caught it and I'm really enjoying it. What's the backstory with the guy who came and told the female detective that he needed help?
I hate googling my mom. She died from Injuries she sustained in a major accident that made worldwide news. When I google her name all I read are horrible article and see pictures... I think about the way she died enough... Facebook is a nice reminder that she lived.
Fantastic article, thank you so much for sharing. I lost my mom very suddenly July of last year. I constantly find myself looking through my mom's Facebook page and reading her old posts. In a way it gives me a feeling like she's still around (although I'm not going to lie, my heart skips a beat when I see an old post of hers pop up on my newsfeed).
I am truly sorry about your mom, it's such an incredibly difficult loss to navigate and I'm only 14 months in. I can't wrap my head around how you've managed this for so many years.
I'm in need of some major help. My husband and I are planning a trip to Yellowstone, flying from Houston in early November. Any recommendations? We are planning on renting a car, but don't want to have to do too much driving to get to the park.
Any and all advice about traveling to Yellowstone would be so appreciated. I'm completely lost....
It's been a while since I've posted here, but I need some help. Tomorrow is my sister and her husbands anniversary. Our family has had an extremely difficult year, so I want to send them a little something to put a smile on their faces. No flowers... I was thinking cookie delivery, but I want other ideas. The caveat is that it has to arrive by tomorrow.
For a great storyline I hope it's Jeff's baby, although I do like Juliette and Avery as a couple. The whole Rayna, Luke and Deacon love triangle is getting old. I was underwhelmed by this episode.
GMA just said that no one in the public knew that the satellite pinging/data existed on jets and that they cannot be turned off by pilots until now. Like PILOTS didn't know about this stuff. So it's possible whoever flew the plane thought that they were actually completely untraceable and didn't know of the existence of that satellite data.
Crazy.
That's an interesting take on things- maybe the highjackers didn't even know they were still being traced.
Ok, possibly a dumb question, but it's so hard to keep up with everything. Originally it was being reported that the flight went on for 4 hours after it's last detection. Now it's being reported that it actually flew 7 hours?
