death

1032898 tn?1258598707 We often experience many of the stages that Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross identified for death, dying and transition. We lose the self we once knew and we grieve for it. If you are not familiar with her research and conclusions I suggest that you do some reading. It can be very helpful and provide you with some insight. I bounced between the anger and denial stages for years fully aware of what I was doing and where I was.
Avatar f tn Anger and fear are part of that process. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross outlined 5 stages of grief. There listed below. Reading some of her thoughts on the process may help. Here is a link to a summary of the five stages. http://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/ 1) Denial 2) Anger 3) Bargaining 4) Depression 5) Acceptance Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Hi! I can understand how your husband must feel. I hope for both of you that in time it will get better. I am having a kidney removed for a large mass which has not spread *thankfully* to another organ/lymph nodes. This is not my first go round with cancer. I had breast cancer (caught early) in 1990. I was VERY angry for a long time. It was a time to come to terms with the fact that I am mortal. That someday, that I was NOT in control of, I would die.
Avatar f tn I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.
667078 tn?1316000935 One way to approach the news is to ewquate it to the grieving process following the loss of a loved one. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross defined 5 stages of the grieving process (https://www.hdsa.org/images/content/1/3/13080.pdf). I saw a therapist for a year after I was diagnosed. We worked through the stages and I emerged in a much better state, both in terms of my disease and my life in general.
Avatar f tn I just went in for a transvaginal ultrasound yesterday (11/10) and the tech told me that I was 5 weeks and 5 days. She said she could see the sac and the yolk sac, but no baby yet. She told me this is normal and that the doctor will schedule me for another one in about 1.5 weeks (she did). I am worried and scared to death. I'm 24 and both my husband and I are very excited about having our first child. Please help put my mind at ease. Thank you in advance for any replies.
Avatar m tn Please keep in mind that this varies according to the location of the metastisis. I personally know of survivors of many years with mets to the bone. It would also depend on your Mother's general health and what treatment will be prescribed. Another point is that all the lumps you describe in your Mother's breasts may not be cancerous; it would only take one malignant lump to cause the metastisis. Kindest regards ....
Avatar f tn My father is in the final stages of dementia. He can no longer hold anything or walk. He quit speaking about 4 years ago. I just was recently told that he no longer chews. This has been for about 6 weeks. His food is thickened so he can swallow it. He has lost about 20 pounds in 5 months. His albumin level is 2.7, and 2.5 is sometimes the criteria for hospice care. My question is, how much longer before he loses his ability to swallow?
Avatar f tn I think there are different stages of addiction..the early stages which are most easily broken and then the last stages where one has to do or die. Actually as i type I realize that one always has to do or die because if one does not stop in the early stages it can progress to a much more difficult time and a more difficult recovery.
192055 tn?1263555537 t went through the 5 stages of death. No matter what everyone who loses someone has to go through these stages..So my advice to you is to get out some pictures and just cry. You need to cry..it really helps. but i am no expert..
2123020 tn?1335045458 There are 5 levels of Chronic Kidney Disease that doctors use to determine how advanced your kidney disease is. Level 1 and 2 are mild, 3 is medium, 4 is advanced, and 5 is end stage renal disease (needing a transplant).
Avatar f tn Stage 1 is considered a small amount of fibrosis. Stages 2 and 3 is considered a greater amount of fibrosis or scarring meaning the disease has progressed. The more fibrosis the harder it is on the liver to carry out it's functions. As the damage progresses further, many scars can form together, which can lead to stage 4, or cirrhosis.
Avatar n tn I thought there were only 4 stages of liver disease, not 6. Anyone know what the pathology report cirrhosis stage 6/6 might mean? Thank you.
Avatar m tn I am so worried that my past has come to haunt me... I had exposures to sex workers a number of years ago, 5 years, and every contact was always protected. There were 3 ladies where oral sex was involved unprotected, but apart from that everytime it was protected and once was receptive. these were ladies from reputable places but still they were sex workers and they were always careful with condoms and I never seemed to notice if they broke, I think I would've know if that was to happen....
Avatar f tn It has also been shown that both stages have different predictors of death (1). Therefore, it was recently determined, by consensus, that compensated and decompensated cirrhosis should be considered separate disease entities (4).
Avatar f tn Sometimes an enlargement causes heart failure. In the advanced stages , failure has symptoms of varying degrees. Some people are incapacitated and find it hard to move around, but others can get by ok.

Avatar f tn I am so very sorry about your little dog's passing. I obviously can't tell you what the cause of his death was. Only a necropsy (autopsy) could determine that. I am making an educated guess however, as when you said he had belly contractions, this reminded me of my own dear dog who passed from hemangiosarcoma. She had a massive internal bleed in her last few hours, and kept contracting her belly muscles. I know this was an instinct to try to get something out of her insides.
Avatar f tn Beware of the morning sickness of you havent had any by now. Mine kicked in at about 9 wks and just went away at 16 wks.
