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 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 Hi, My 11 year old maltese was diagnosed with chronic renal failure in November '14. She is on Pepcid and blood pressure meds. A few days ago she was also diagnosed with Demodex and is on oral medicine to cure it. I am going into the vet's office on Friday for new blood work / check up. I am have read about other dogs' symptoms and I am wondering if there is any sort of progression with the symptoms.
Avatar f tn If depression levels are dangerous to the point of loss of health, persuade them to go to a doc for medication to balance them out a little. Other than that, just be there.
Avatar m tn What you are experiencing is extremely common, and normal. When we are dealing with the loss of a loved one, it brings our own mortality into sharper focus. The death of someone we love is unquestionably, in my opinion, THE most stressful life event we must all endure. And that stress can manifest itself in countless ways, anxiety being very close to the top of the list.
Avatar n tn 7 Any of these things can lead to the cause of death. Patients with IPF can die from heart failure, respiratory failure, or collapsed lungs.
640548 tn?1340553355 I am so sorry star to hear of the loss of 2 of your children. I am glad you have a wonderful daughter to support you through your grief. From the daughter side...I'm sure your daughter doesn't feel you love her any less, I know I don't feel that. If she feels like me, she is making her own way through a traumatic loss as well, and she probably wishes there is much more she could do for you.
Avatar f tn 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!!!!!
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 jem...first of all...if I could reach thru the computer screen and give you the biggest bear hug, I would. I can feel the pain in your post. Sweetie, you are dealing with SOOO much right now, it is understandable that you are going thru these feelings. FIRST of all, you are FAR from alone. You are suffering from panic attacks, which are not at all uncommon after a person goes thru a loss like you did, especially so unexpectedly. You are dealing with numerous issues.
Avatar f tn Anyone here dealing or have dealt with the loss of a newborn. My baby boy was born 9/11 and lost him the same day.
Avatar n tn Welcome to the dog forum, very sorry for your grieving and the loss of your pet! I read your situation, that is odd, did your vet have any explanation? Over to right of this thread and scroll down, you will see small box "ask a vet" Dr. Cheng, I have seen others post the same concern regarding the death of their pet, and the vet here has some very informative info that may help, so repost your question there too....
Avatar f tn I too lost my Son. All our lives we hear that "time heals all wounds" and I do agree on all OTHER aspects - but NOT the loss of my Son. It's been 4 years and 7 months since my Son died and it doesn't get easier, fact is - it gets harder. I've come to realize that the "loss" of a Child does not "fade" with time, the loss GROWS with time. Each year I cannot fathom that it's been another year that He's gone.
1201072 tn?1289760591 t think I could handle what you are dealing with personally. Please take care of yourself and the kids. This has to be leaving a deep impression on your minds and spirits. So as I mentioned before, you all might find it helpful to talk to others who are dealing with similar situations. It is not good to bottle up these powerful mix of feelings as they can rack havoc on people for a lifetime.
228686 tn?1211554707 As mentioned above, it is very hard dealing with the suffering of the animals. I always felt I had a good perspective on the whole issue, but this recent death made me realize I was perhaps somewhat out of focus. I think I've just had to personally put down and seen put down just one cat to many. It's something I've never cared for and with changes to funding and services I'm beginning to feel more like an executioner than a help.
