Bluebell I know they are our babies.  I hope your pup is on the mend.

My dog was so close to my mom, that the night before she passed he woke us up at 1 am and started pacing, he just wouldn't settle down, we didn't know what to do, I didn't even think maybe my mom was awake or in distress and he sensed it, the next day after she passed he went and laid down and slept very strange.

We used to take him with us on Sunday's to her house because she loved him and he used to sit outside when we were doing things out there, he would jump out of the car and run in the house looking for her, it was so funny, do you know after she passed we brought him with us when we were cleaning out and when he got out of the car he stood right next to us didn't even want to go in the house and when he did he never looked for her in her usual spot which was downstairs watching TV.  He knew something I didn't......

I hope the new diet works. I have my 11 year old pup on a raw diet and a few supplements to reduce inflammation. He has ruptured his ligament in both his hind legs and torn his meniscus in one of his hind legs. You would think he was a football player as they are prone to the same injuries. Needless to say, since he too is my baby, he had surgery on both legs to repair the damage. Right now he is doing well. He is a happy, clown of a dog and has helped get me through this rough time.

Nancy, that is truly a miracle from God, you must be very proud.

Hope everyone is well, I am pre-occupied trying to get my 10 year old Labrador situated on a food that wound upset his stomach he has had this since a pup, so the vet is having me try one of the prescription foods.  I don't mess around if this does not work we will be going to Penn Vet.

Its always something.....he is my child, so I do what I have to .

Nancy,
You made my year, with your lovely words! Thank you:-). From my experience so far the parents make up a huge component of any child's success. It is apparent that you fought long and hard to give your son everything he needs and the result is a wonderful meaningful and productive life. I love hearing stories like yours:-)! Thank you for sharing your story. It means a lot to me... much peace to you, take care.

It is wonderful to hear to about your son's successful life. You, along with other dedicated people, made the miracle happen. Thank you for sharing. It put a smile on my face.

Heather,
I totally agree with you about the weather making a difference in how we feel. Sunshine seems to uplift me. I was counting down the days for daylight savings time to begin this year as that extra hour of light meant so much to me now.

You have a very challenging job. Our son was diagnosed with autism when he was 3. He was severely autistic at that time. We were given a dire prognosis. He was the nonverbal student who would bang his head on the floor. He couldn't count to 10, recite the alphabet, or write his name until the year he repeated 2nd grade. I quit my job as an RN to be able work with him 1:1 myself. Also, there were amazing people like you who had an enormous impact on his life and ours. We did every therapy available and sought out every resource. Patrick got his miracle, and when it happened it occurred overnight. This nonverbal little boy could suddenly read way above his grade level and do complicated mathematics. He graduated from high school first in his class. He is 23 now and is graduating from college on May 11. He is in a service fraternity where he has fed the homeless, cleaned parks, helped build a home, worked refreshment stands at football games, and planned events to introduce grade school students to STEM fields. He has a perfect GPA and is graduating Suma Cum Laude with degrees in Computer Engineering and Mathematics. He has done important research in number theory, has lectured at other universities, and had his work published several times as an undergraduate. He was even given the award of Most Outstanding Senior in the College of Science. He begins a PhD program focusing on a very narrow area of Number Theory in August, and best of all he has been fully funded by the National Science Foundation based on his research and academic achievements. As you can imagine, it hasn't always been easy for him. He still faces many social and developmental challenges. He'll be 1200 miles from home at his next university and he is experiencing anxiety related to change in environment, routine, and the entire transition process. He will be teaching a class for the first time at the college level. We are helping him, his psychiatrist is helping him, and there continue to be educators (like yourself) who reach out to him and appreciate him for the unique and wonderful person he is.

I know this is long and I am having a bit of a 'mom brag' moment. But the point is YOU are making a difference in the life of every child you touch. We don't always get to see you down the road to thank you again and share with you the important part you've played in helping our children to reach their full potential, but you are SO VERY MUCH appreciated!!

I keep wishing my mom was here to see him graduate from college. Patrick had two 'people' growing up - me and my mom. We were the only ones he would speak to for many years. We were the only ones he felt completely bonded to. He misses her as I do. I have to believe she somehow knows how he's doing and is proud of him. Now I'm crying again.

Hugs,

Nancy

Theresa,
I hope you're having a peaceful day. Things sound super tough at your job. I'm sorry you have this added burden on top of enduring the loss of your sweet mom. I don't know what kind of work you do, but I hope you can find a resolution for the issues or even find a way to change jobs if you need to. I don't know how you do it every day.
Hugs,
Nancy

Bluebell,
I think you're very brave to return to work so soon. I would have similar concerns as you yours. I can tell that you truly care for your patients and their families. Will they let you return on a part time basis until you can see how it will affect you?
Hugs,
Nancy

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I hope you are right.

I pray that you find some enjoyment on your day off.

Sending hugs and love you way,

Bluebell

Bluebell, being a hospice nurse has to be tough

I think you are right because of your own experience you will be stronger than you think.

I am off today and I am going to run errands it helps to occupy my mind, but not completely.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
