Common Questions and Answers about Dealing with death in the workplace
death
Many people are dealing with their own depression and issues, so know you're not alone in the workplace. Has someone said or done something to make you feel like you're being labeled in a negative way? Most people are very understanding when it comes to depression, and would like to help but just don't know how, or even what to say. Others may not understand, and it's really not their fault.
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.
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.
How do you deal with all the differing views on risk behavior? For example, this forum has a pretty firm stance about the low/no risk nature of oral sex for hiv transmission. Yet even my own cities Met Health Clinic (SA, TX) councils that getting a blow job is high risk due to potential lesions, etc.
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.
Hi there Charlotte,
I thought I should check in with you and see if you are doing any better now that you are taking amitrypyiline. I sure do hope so!!! I know that dealing with doctors who really don't have the foggiest idea about what pain we are in is so frustrating. I'm contemplating a G.P. change soon. I dread having to start once again with a new doctor.
At my age (63 soon) it is getting a little old (no pun intended)!
Take good care of yourself.

I know that you are having a hard time coping with these things i myself have lost a mom then a daughter abd sis and it will take time to go through the greiving process and it is not an easy thing to do, but in time you will heal i did not have asuppot group as i live in the country and there are no support groups here but they could help you i know i cried for so long but the main thing i think that saved me was my work i had to get up and go to work so if you go to sc hool dont miss it also t
At first it seems like the light at end of the tunnel, is so far and out of reach, but with the right support the tunnel is not so scary.
This is what I tell myself everyday. I say, "Rachel, live today like Cooper would want you to!" "Live this day to make all his Angel Buddies proud!!" Your daughter does not want you to be sad, she wants you to LIVE. Keep her alive by sharing her life with others, the more you tell the more will LOVE!!!!!
My mother(age 47) has drasticly gone down hill in the past 4yrs. 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.
I think the worse part is the pain and dealing with no sleep. I sleep for about 2 hours at a time and can't make it past 3:30 AM every morning. I appreciate your reply and i know there are alot of people on here that are going through the same thing. I'm just trying to deal with it. I have no energy and i can't get too far from the bathroom.
I think taking the ultram for a couple of days (200 er, 1 a day) might have set me back on my plan to stop all together.
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.
The cravings come and go maybe forever. How to stay clean IS THE PROBLEM. Look in the phone book (usually in the front) for addiction help, groups, counseling etc.
Day 5 is very early and only the really nasty WD symptoms are over. Try to get him interested in his own treatment. It sounds like you set up a type of detox for him. Eventually he will need to do this on his own and with support from other people as well as you. You've done a great job!
ve apologized very often back then. In the beginning, when the diorder sideswiped me, I had a hard time not reacting negatively to things. It took practice and a few people telling me that I was out of line. That was a chnge for me not to be in control and steady, easily irritated, or show my irritation raw and bare.
Did you get in a bad way when you started taking care of your Mother? Are you also giving total care to your husband, because you mentioned he was terminal.
