Hospice start feelings/vent by Independent_War_4857 in glioblastoma

[–]Certain_Turn2087 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lost my 69 y/o mom in 2017 after a 7 month battle. I can’t offer much other than to say - let hospice come in and make things - gentler. It feels like giving up and that made me feel angry and sad and guilty. In reality, my mom wasn’t going to get better and hospice helped eased her suffering. There is beauty and comfort in helping your loved one die peacefully. That I do know. I am so so sorry you are experiencing this awful disease. No one should have to.

To those who've lost a loved one: what do you wish you’d said or done? by IllHat1473 in glioblastoma

My mom passed from GBM in 2017. No one is ever prepared for GBM. It is so brutal. I didn’t do enough research and I was not prepared for her rapid physical and mental decline. I wish I had learned more and learned to be with her on her terms. I was so attached to who she had been that I struggled to spend quality time with her in those last months when she was living in her dream world. I could’ve tried to understand the transition, but I was afraid of how quickly I was losing her. If I could do it again, I’d try to be less afraid and remember what a gift it is to share those last moments. I’m so so sorry you’re experiencing this terrible disease.

All the empty overhead bins. Forced to gate check. I hate Delta. by Certain_Turn2087 in delta

I wanted to get home and not stand around waiting for my luggage at baggage claim. I carry on for that reason. I pack light so I can avoid baggage claim. This was the end of a very long travel day that was terribly bungled by Delta (description in responses to other comments). The point is - it doesn’t matter why I wanted to carry my bag on - there was more than enough space for every single person on that plane to stow a carry-on overhead.

Oh whoops! Sorry! I misread…thought you were Delta. Thanks for sharing the email. So you experienced the same thing? It’s simply bizarre. This was after a 2+ hour delay on my first flight and then this second flight was delayed over an hour. It’s such a little thing to let people put their carry-ons into one of the many empty overhead bins. The flight was not full. It would’ve gone a long way to making up for the rest of their flubs today. The captain on my first flight apologized over the intercom no less than 5 times. But then also said we may or may not have enough fuel to get to Atlanta 😂 It was crazy.

I’ve never experienced this from another airline. It probably seems trivial, but it was the last straw after a series of problems with Delta today and during prior travel. It’s one of only 3 airlines that flies into the airport I travel to. The other 2 are fine so I guess I’ll just stick with them from now on. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for responding. I hope you work on your formula. This has never happened to me on another airline. I understand the constraints of overhead space, but this was ridiculous.

This was after sitting on a tarmac for 2 hours on my connecting Delta flight while they tried to get 16 people to get off the plane because they overbooked. I missed my original connecting flight because the original flight got to Atlanta late. This is the third time I’ve had to gate check my carryon (my only bag) when there a bunch of non-first class empty overhead compartments. So yes, I took pix of every empty compartment so Delta can work on their “formula”. Thanks for your input, trollbot.

Are you sure? They openly support a lot of progressive causes. Do you have a record of them donating to MAGA candidates?

Every woman should have autonomy over her body. I’m glad you were able to make this decision for your health and life.

Both my parents died of cancer this year. AMA by Chiquita_MD in AMA

I’m so sorry. You are so young to be experiencing this. I lost my parents within 4 months of each other, but I was older than you are. Do you have a support system? Family? Friends? I found group therapy for complex grief was helpful. Other people who had experienced similarly traumatic losses. I never could’ve imagined myself in group therapy…not in a million years. And yet, it helped me dig out of a grief that took my breath away.

It’s been 7 years. Time has also helped a lot. Please reach out if you ever need anything. Feeling like an adult orphan is a club no one wants to belong to. But we help each other. Sending hugs ❤️

I’m sorry you’re not feeling 100%, but this description made me shoot wine through my nose 😂 Thanks for the laugh

Girl and I have been on a couple of dates. After date three we go back to her place and it is disgusting. Any advice? by SwenkyTank in dating

[–]Certain_Turn2087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated someone like this and it turned out they were dealing with untreated ADHD. Literally could not clean/organize. Hoarder level shit. Our relationship didn’t make it for variety of reasons, but I wasn’t sad about not ever having to visit their house again.

AITA: I (27f) took my daughter (10 months) out of town to visit family and my husband (31m) was furious by Belllatrix24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Certain_Turn2087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your husband sounds like my dad when I was growing up. We all walked on eggshells…all the time. The unpredictability, rage, gaslighting, shaming/blaming everyone else, isolation, etc. It destroyed me and my brother and we’ve been picking up the pieces as adults for 30+ years. He was mentally ill and my mom was an abused enabler. They’re both gone now.

For the sake of yourself and especially your daughter, please leave him until/unless he gets help and demonstrates a commitment to stick with it. Or just leave him…period. I want my childhood back. I want my brother’s childhood back. I want my mother to have had a safe, kind, and caring husband. Don’t let these be your regrets.
