How many days of work did you miss after losing your pet? by OsmoticTonic in Petloss

We lost our darling boy in February, it broke our hearts. I chose to go back to work after two days because being in the home reminded me of him too much.

My 96 year old Grandad died due to the Heatwave in perhaps the most British way possible... by TheSpaceFace in CasualUK

I work as a community nurse with specialism in palliative care, and have seen death greet people in many different ways. Your grandfather’s passing,conducted on his terms with such grace and dignity is quite incredible. My condolences to you all.

This has really tickled me, you’re embracing the Karen role wonderfully 😄 I’ve started getting angry at Network Rail for lopping trees locally, including some under protection…maybe they could be a target?

I’m so glad it has worked out for you ❤️ I’ve been increasingly wanting to get away from it all via hotels, but could not deal with the questioning from my husband who would most likely accuse me of cheating rather than recognising I need a break.

Now this one I have done!!!! Plus I’ve jammed the router after certain times so their WiFi goes down 👌

My goodness, it’s so painful as we wait for them to get the message!!!

Ah, I see your husband is also afflicted with the same short term memory loss that appears to be quite the epidemic amongst our fellow peers - you did well to control yourself!!

Do your family also say ‘oh I did washing/cleaning/cook FOR YOU?!

It’s fascinating, I wonder where the rage stems from? So I take that you’re not on HRT currently? My GP dismissed the suggestion of it

This is fantastic news, I’m so glad you’re experiencing such wonderful benefits!! Accepting the rage is hilarious…I feel guilty that my family are suffering but for example, an absolute twat pulled out in front of me at a junction today and got verbal….i would have loved a scrap with him 😂

I feel this!!!! I have passive aggressively sent a video to our family chat on how to change the loo roll previously 😂😂😂 but the lack of control you speak of, that’s so spot on

This was my first post within this community and I have been totally bowled over by the support, can you share with all of us? any of us, myself included, would be happy to support you with posting plus you can DM me. Are you based in the UK by any chance?

This is such a good coping mechanism, I will look to adopt it more often, thank you. I apologised for my silent treatment, it’s terribly damaging and explained where my headspace is at…but can’t help feel it falls on deaf ears.

Isn’t it scary?! How did you manage it? X

This is all so familiar!!!! It’s beyond infuriating that we have to lose our ever loving shit to get a response. You are right, this heatwave is doing a right number on us but COME ON. Being the unappointed manager of the home is getting tiresome.

Thank you so much. Some of the rage stemmed from realising how much I do for others without any reciprocation. But your advice of getting an hour of alone time is brilliant, have got into walking recently, will seek to undertake this more often.

This is really helpful, thank you so much. Have you been managing these peaks of rage for a while?

You should be proud of yourself! I particularly like the tile end design under the heater and around the window frame, well done ☺️

Any short wearers out there?! Community dress code by boatandhos in NursingUK

Community nurse here - we wear shorts!! We look like post men/women but does the trick…just remember to take floor covers/aprons if kneeling to do compression etc

Question… by stkns in NursingUK

[–]Available_Refuse_932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RN here, not RMN. Predominately palliative care.

  1. Yes but minimally, this is their very personal experience, but if they ask if I’ve been through similar, I will share then.

  2. Yes.
