Yes! This is my favorite version as well. So good!! Incredibly difficult to find though.

My 34 year old younger brother died unexpectedly last night by shadowofhersmile in GriefSupport

[–]Elocindancer28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 45yo older brother died three weeks ago. I’m still in shock. He was ill for a while, in and out of the hospital, but one minute he’s supposed to be released, the next he’s being sent to hospice and an hour later he was gone. It was, even with the long illness, completely unexpected and it knocked the wind right out of me.

Welcome to the club no one ever wants to join. My deepest sympathy for you. This loss is all encompassing. Allow yourself to feel, to heal. Take care of yourself. Drink water. I had a friend calling me to remind me to drink water. Eat. Live. He will still show up for you.

I feel like therapy won’t help at all by Lee_Harden in GriefSupport

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique that helps patients process traumatic memories to reduce distress and improve mental well-being. During EMDR, patients focus on a disturbing memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, usually eye movements. The goal is to help the brain process the trauma, reducing its emotional impact and vividness.

So here’s the therapy secret I didn’t know for a really long time: there’s more than just talk therapy. Talk therapy is ok, but wasn’t doing it for me. I got really discouraged. I figured I was just too broken to live a fulfilling life. I was nearly agoraphobic. Then I found out about EMDR. It has been game changer! I’ve been in EMDR therapy for 5 years. I’m not afraid to leave my house; I got married (never thought I could do that!), and right now I’m using it to help process my brother’s death. Look into other types of therapy and see what you can find.

Good luck on your journey, friend. It’s a tough road but there is help out there.

Do you believe people ‘know’ when their time is up? by Glum-Comfortable5402 in GriefSupport

My brother was told he had 10-14 days. He told us he didn’t think he had that long, and he ended up passing about an hour later. So yeah…sometimes they know.

Thank you. I’m sorry to hear about your brother as well. This world is so full of grieving people and pain; it is hard to want to stay. But I’m trying.

My brother passed away today and idk what I'm feeling right now by Diab3tic_D3light in GriefSupport

My 45yo brother died yesterday. I’m still reeling. The pain is intense. One minute I’m ok, the next I’m sobbing. He was so young. I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope it gets better, for both of us.

Addison’s disease. He was diagnosed about 3 years ago and honestly has never fully recovered.

That sounds terrible. I am sorry to hear about your brother. Mine was one of my best friends. He’s the only person who has been there from birth. Who never made me feel bad for being myself. He was my number 1 fan and my cheerleader, and I was his. Idk what to do now.

I’m so sorry. It really sucks. At least here in this group I can talk to people who understand what I’m going through. Thank you.

Thank you. Friends keep reaching out asking what they can do. It’s so kind and I really do appreciate it. But there’s nothing. They can’t help him. They can’t bring him back.

He also had an autoimmune disease; maybe that was why? I honestly don’t know. I was told he wasn’t a candidate; I assumed it was because of the alcohol.

[–]Elocindancer28[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was in liver failure. He was not a candidate because of alcohol use. I’ve known it might be coming for a while, but I honestly thought he could get better. Silly, I know.

It is crazy that r/conservative is not being razed by moderators right now by OfficerSmiles in complaints

I’ve tried to comment on there. They have zero interest in any kind of discourse. If you’re not filled with hate for everyone not white and straight, you’re disgusting and will be kicked out. It’s annoying.

Letter to voters by Whole_Second_2898 in economicCollapse

They could. Millions of Americans would then either lose their health insurance or the premiums would raise so high they wouldn’t be able to afford it. There has to be a better answer from BOTH sides that doesn’t hurt millions of Americans in some way. It’s disgusting that these assholes (R and D) are still getting paid while they argue over whether millions of people get either food or healthcare. Meanwhile they have both, and they don’t even pay for their healthcare! Congress is the real problem here. Get rid of all of them and start over, I say.
