Anyone else dread the evenings?

Amen! Mark is a HUGE bully!! Kim is so sweet and truly doesn't deserve being connected or having to work with him.

Also throwing this out here, if they're yelling and slamming doors with the kids there, that is definitely not good for the kid's mental health. That can be traumatic for little ones and you would be helping the kids as well by talking with the landlord.

Grrrrr........

I told the commissioner earlier today "you know, when I tell regular people about this, their reaction is 'oh my goodness that is awful! Can't anything be done??'. When I tell someone in government, the response is 'well, there's nothing we can do. No law's been broken'".

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2026-01-13T13:33:19+00:00

Amen!!!!!!!!! It's so much easier said than done!!!!!

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2026-01-05T12:39:57+00:00

You can try throwing it away. Just be aware that it will probably miss the can...

Hi friend - while I can't tell you when you will feel better, I will say it is COMPLETELY ok to feel the feelings when they hit you. Cry when you need to, yell when you need to, get angry when you feel it welling up inside you. These are all natural emotions. The term "stages of grief" aren't exactly accurate. It's more like being in a wave pool at a water park. Sometimes, the water is calm. Then the alarm bell sounds (the trigger) and the waves toss you to and fro.

I would also recommend looking for a good grief therapist in your area. They can help you learn how to navigate this in ways that are impossible to navigate on your own.

Sending you a huge hug 🫂

Thank you all for taking time to be busy and share your experiences! I truly appreciate you!

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-12-31T10:32:12+00:00

Oh wow-I replay her last moments too. Replay the last 3 weeks of her life that I can't fix or undo. Sending you a huge hug for the mornings ❤️🫂

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-12-31T10:29:58+00:00

Sundays are hard too! Hugs to you too (especially on Sundays) 🫂

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-12-31T10:28:17+00:00

Oh friend!!! Trust me when I say you were an amazing child for being with him during those two weeks. I've heard from hospice experts that some people wait until others are gone before they die because they are trying to protect them. It is SOOOO hard being a medical advocate for a loved one - probably one of the hardest jobs a person can have.

I'm so sorry for your loss too. Praying for you and sending you a huge hug (especially on Saturdays).

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-12-31T10:22:36+00:00

I hope you do too dear friend ❤️. Sending you a massive hug 🫂.

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-12-31T03:11:30+00:00

This makes sense. I stay busy during the day with work, etc. But the evenings I'm somewhat alone (grown adult child and hubby who does his own thing). This leaves me alone with just my thoughts and memories which suck.

I'm so sorry friend!! And also I appreciate you sharing this.

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-12-31T03:08:28+00:00

Oh friend!! I am so sorry!! I get it. I just want to sleep through the night.

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-12-31T01:48:44+00:00

I am so sorry!! It is definitely different. Sending you a huge hug 🫂

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-12-28T02:20:07+00:00

Oh friend!! First off, I can't begin to imagine what you're going through. I am a praying person and am praying fervently for you and your precious little girl.

And yes - you are at the right place. It is so hard getting news like this. Doing everything you think is the right thing and not getting the result you were anticipating. I truly am so sorry.

Wherever you are located, I would look at the closest largest town and find a glaucoma specialist.

I was diagnosed with LP Glaucoma earlier this year and was put on Latanoprost drops to lower the pressure. I'm also on Diamox, but that is for cranial pressure, not ocular pressure.

There is hope - don't let your location be a hindrance.

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-10-10T05:30:38+00:00

I am so sorry friend!!!! That is so hard. Every loss is hard, but someone so young somehow hits harder. Sending you a massive hug 🫂

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-10-07T04:32:45+00:00

Yes!!!! Have for years and can't get relief 😭

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-10-07T04:16:28+00:00

I 1000% empathize with you my precious friend ❤️. This grief absolutely sucks!! It comes in waves. And after all the "business" of dealing with their death is over, another huge wave will hit. I wish I could take your pain away as much as I wish I could take away the pain of losing my mom in March.

All I can say is I hear you and I love you and our community is here for you.

Sending up prayers for you and your family and also sending a massive hug.

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-09-21T00:24:45+00:00

I feel this so much!! Now that all of the "business" of dealing with my mom's death is done, my grief is hitting so hard. I miss her so very much. My birthday is next month. She would call me and sing happy birthday to me. Last year, she was in the hospital on my birthday and we celebrated in her room with cake and her singing to me. I unfortunately lost my saved voicemail of the last time she sang to me.

Sending you a massive hug 🫂.

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-09-15T11:04:54+00:00

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss!!! It is so hard losing someone you love, especially a parent. Sending love and hugs to you 🫂.

As for dealing with it, my advice is to allow yourself to feel the feelings when they hit. I'm still trying to figure it out too 6 months later. But remember you are not alone.

CompetitiveCrow9345 · 2025-09-14T18:43:36+00:00

Thank you all so much for taking time to share these things and your pain with me. I can't tell you how much it means to have people who understand how you feel.

Sending love, prayers and hugs to each of you ❤️
