death

Avatar n tn If I were you I would try to find a relaxing place and get away from all the negative feed back in your life. That only adds fuel to your misery.. As far as dealing with it alone yeah you could try but I would try to find a group that could relate with me. Once you do that you can talk and people understand exactly what you are saying and going through. I know its tough especially when family says Oh be quiet its in your head!
Avatar f tn How does one cope with a lost in the family without feeling like they are putting there body under so much strain? My husband lost his Dad on April 2nd, It's been hard on us. We're finally giving him his first grandson.. Now he's gone. My husband even told him earlier that day that we got 3D pictures of our boy. He was excited to see them.

1356959 tn?1488975948 Hello everyone,I am 26 years old and I was in my first trimester when I had a miscarriage on the 7th Feb 2012.It all started with brown spotting that turned in to real heavy bleeding. My GNYA said that the only thing that could stop the bleeding is to go to theatre and have myself,so that was the end of my pregnancy. My boyfriend was away when this happened and is still away. I am so stressed,I can't eat or sleep and I feel so alone. Please help me deal with this terrible loss.
1199758 tn?1280749081 Okay, so here's a question for any and all, lol. How does one deal with family who live far away and JUST DON'T GET IT??? Both of my parents, who live in California (I'm in SE Texas), keep advising me to not take my diagnosis so seriously yet, as it came from a "hick e.r. doctor" (don't you love it?), and that I should wait until I can get to a neurologist/neurosurgeon for a 2nd opinion.
Avatar f tn How do you guys deal with family members who try to insert themselves in your life and not respect your boundaries.
Avatar f tn Sorry I hit post on accident. It was hard dealing with my grandmothers loss but I pulled thru. The hardest part was seeing my mom in so much pain. I was about 10 weeks when that happened. Then, just a few weeks ago my hubby's good friend passed away from Luekemia. We are still getting thru that. It's been hard but we try to remain positive and this k about the time we did get to spend with them. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Avatar f tn Hello I need some advice, my parents hate my partner and said if I ever got pregnant with his baby they will disown me and my daughter (not the father to her) well I've just found out I'm pregnant with my second, they don't know I'm with him yet as problems in the past but I'm worried they will disown us because of it, how did you tell your parents, I'm twenty years of age and they still try and control my life even though I don't live with them no more, I try and not
Avatar f tn Im kinda in the same situation with my boyfriends family i swear i have it the worst lol i avoid them and have been for about a 1 year too much drama and they talk alot of trash when im not around
Avatar m tn Several weeks ago, in a fleeting thought, I had a vision/premonition out f the blue that a death in my family was imminent. A few days later, my nephew died. Now I've had another vision or premonition. This time it was a similar fleeting thought, but this time was specific, my brother. I have had issues with anxiety for the past several years that started with some health issues I was unable to get diagnosed. Ever since that time, I have had trouble dealing with anxiety.
Avatar n tn It seemed to all happen at once and in the past year things have gotten worse. Heart disease runs strong in my family,not many have lived past 50yrs old.My mom has hypertension,high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, and heart disease to name a few. This past July she had to have emergeny double bypass surgery and had a minor heartatacke about a month after the surgery. When they opened her up we were told that she has the insides of an 80yr old woman....
Avatar m tn ...I wasn't sure if there was a separate forum for family support or not. If so, I'd MUCH appreciate a link! :) I'm dealing with my mother-in-law. She's paranoid schizophrenic and abusing pain pills and meth. We just got her out of the hospital due to a blood clot in her lung. The clot is still there but they figured she was well enough to be released and has been given a medication to break up the clot.
732810 tn?1232129554 I am trying to go to meetings, but my schedule and family situations are keeping me from doing so. Funny, I could have gone to bars and just neglected family in the past, but now, I am dealing with family situations and trying to be present. However, my children and my husband are DRIVING ME CRAZY. I keep serenity prayering and it helps for a little bit. My son has now been suspended from school 3 times in the last 2 weeks, I have been dealing with x husband and son's issues with Dr.
Avatar f tn How do you deal with 24 hr. 7 days a week pain? I had the same back problems in 2002 when I originally hurt my back. I had take pain meds as I have never taken pills that much. I'm a teacher and I can't do that anymore. In fact, my life is at a stand still. My day consists of getting up (with help), watching t.v., taking a nap, doing small tasks around the house if I don't have to be on my feet any longer than 10 min.
Avatar f tn Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.
Avatar f tn My breakdown helped me accept my diagnosis too, so my recovery really started with the breakdown. If you question it, you owe it to yourself and family to accept it or find the real issue, either way, I believe life will be better for you in the end. I try not to think of the sabotage or power plays I could do to stop corruption and injustice, very difficult at times.
Avatar f tn We had one successful pregnancy a year ago, but lost the baby in October. Since then, nothing. It is so hard dealing with pregnant family members. Since our loss, two girls in our family have gotten pregnant, one just giving birth August 2nd, and the other is due October 11. Of course, BOTH their due dates correspond with the date of our conception for the first, and the date of our loss for the second. Life for me certaintaly has it's way of laughing at me in my face.
Avatar f tn I lost my brother in December 2007, he was shot, my phone was in the car the next day I saw 33 missed calls, when I returned the call I was informed that he had been shot. He went through 7 days of pain in hospital after that he passed away. It was the most traumatic moment of my life but I wanted to be strong for him and I never cired at hte time because I didn't want him to think he was it a worst condition.
1549468 tn?1345468736 if he asked you whats happening at home, you must take it in the correct spirit, he wanted to know about the interpersonal relationships you have with other family members possible since you went to the emergency all alone despite the seizure. Take care.
Avatar f tn for the baby and how much will effect him. I usually a very emotional person when dealing with death and I feel like a horrible person for not allowing myself to feel bad. What do I do???
Avatar f tn Don't blame yourself for enabling him. It's something we family members fall into without hardly realizing it. I look at what addicts and their families endure over time and compare it to boiling frogs. It's so easy to ignore the signs of trouble and deny the problem that by the time we reach that point we wonder how our lives got turned upside down. It seems like the insanity happened overnight but it didn't.
Avatar f tn His real mom passed away when he was only a baby. His dad has been with his step mom for about 4 years. She kicked him out and he came to stay with me and my family. I really can't stand her. She's in her 40s, I'm only 19 and yet she still gets in my face trying to stress me out knowing I'm having a baby Friday.
