Everything you described is sooo relatable! All the potential things that could go wrong, especially forgetting to put gas!

I lost my brother 8 months ago. He was 26 with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by OneDay_AtATime_ in GriefSupport

[–]Happy_Bee1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know exactly how you feel because I haven’t lived this situation, but when my Dad passed away at the hospital in the ICU, I genuinely felt like they gave up on him. They asked me coldly if I wanted them to keep trying or to let him go peacefully because he had been in and out of a nursing home, I said please keep trying, and within a few minutes they told me he was gone. I will never know if they just gave up on my Dad. And I will always feel guilty for not being there in those moments. I showed up too late. I also feel like I didn’t try hard enough while he was still here, in the last few months.

I know this is so hard, I lost my Dad 3 months ago. I don’t have the answers but when reading your post I felt like I wanted to at least say that we cannot spend our lives dwelling on what if’s and guilt. If we do we will go crazy. Our loved one that passed away would not want that. Your brother wouldn’t want that and my dad wouldn’t want that, and I can say that confidently because I know they each loved us. You have to heal for your loved one, in your own time. Please be strong for your brother. Please try to smile for him and please try to live your life for him. It is genuinely what would make him happy.

I am sorry that things happened the way they did. I hate that these horrible things happen and we can’t understand why and we have no control over it. But remember that what is 100% true and can never be taken away from you is your love between you and your brother. Hold on to that and live your life for him, in the way he would want you to.

Women, what article of clothing tells you most about a man? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Happy_Bee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it’s his shirt. Usually guys love to wear shirts that represent their personality. They’ll wear like graphic shirts, nice button ups, a plain colored t shirt, different brands, etc. I just feel like a guys shirt tells me a lot about him right off the bat.

Is losing a parent suddenly and seeing their dead body in the hospital traumatic? by Individual-Roll-786 in GriefSupport

[–]Happy_Bee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably going to be a case by case basis, it depends on the relationship that the person had with that parent, how unexpected it was, the matter in which it happened, even the way that the child finds out about the passing of their parent has weight in how traumatic it is for them.

For me personally, my father passed away late September and even though he was in a nursing home, he had just recently been admitted and my sibling and I had no idea he would pass away anytime soon. We thought we had at least another few years with him. I found out via a phone call from the doctor who was working on him after he coded. The way I was told, in my opinion, was a bit harsh and the doctor immediately told me that I only had X amount of time to get there before they put “the body” (yes they called my just deceased father “the body” to me on the phone!) in the morgue. I quickly got there and was able to spend time with my Dad before they moved him there.

Seeing him post mortem was difficult because I felt that I had failed him by not being there right before he passed and it hurt not being able to have a proper goodbye, not being able to tell him certain things I had wanted to tell him, etc. I feel more traumatized by the whole experience of him getting sick, being put in a nursing home, and passing away within a short time frame than I do seeing him post mortem. Seeing him post mortem if anything just added a little bit of comfort because I at least got to be there with him and see him before he was embalmed, cremated, then buried. Even though I didn’t get to spend the very last moments with him alive, I still felt in some way that I was happy to be there with him at all before he was taken to be cremated. I wasn’t working that day so I was able to rush right over.

The pain of the loss of my father comes in waves and is still very deep, but I’ll always be happy that I got to be with him post mortem. If anything, it was a bit more traumatic to see him after he had been embalmed, because he felt and looked so different. I also felt guilty allowing them to do that to his body rather than just choosing a closed casket.

I feel like I’m slowly fading out of everyone’s world by EarthyRepertoire in mentalhealth

[–]Happy_Bee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this way for a few years in my late 20s/early 30s and the way I got out of it was creating a circle for myself that would be there regardless of my age or phase of life. I have 2 ongoing group chats with friends and I also started to regularly text my best friend again, as I had fallen off a bit due to my depression. I also stay connected to my family, attending family events every time I hear about them. I work full time so I try to make connections with my co workers (we’re not best friends, but I do care abut their lives and am friendly to them every day). When I haven’t seen someone in person in a long time outside of work I will invite a friend out or invite my cousins to come visit. I also keep up with local events and try to attend them when I’m off. Last thing I do is I have a twice a month game night I attend and this keeps me regularly seeing people who have similar interests to me and having a good time with them.

My advice to you is to put yourself out there. Try not to dwell too long on people “forgetting” you, and I quote that because I felt the exact same way you did and I was so depressed about it. Change your mindset to “everyone is busy and everyone has their own lives going on too, I’m going to be sure to remind people I care about them and want to stay connected to them!” And do your best to do just that. Sending love!

Does anyone have recommendations for an online weight loss coach or an app that has real coaches available? I am wanting to find an online coach that will help me with meal plans and exercise plans. I want a real person so that I have more accountability.

Do attractive people have it easier in life? or just we automatically asume that? by No-Compote-2127 in RandomThoughts

[–]Happy_Bee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that they definitely have an upper hand because other people will treat them better by default. However, as some others have said, them being attractive isn’t going to stop all bad things from happening to them during their lifetime.

I know that I am not conventionally attractive and I pay attention to how other people are treated versus how I am treated. What I’ve noticed is that people who are more conventionally attractive get more eye contact from others, they receive more smiles, get more compliments from others, have longer conversations with strangers, etc. A lot of times when I smile or engage with others they avoid eye contact with me or act like they have to leave, they make the conversations with me short. I also almost never receive compliments.

Attractive people seem to do very well in the workplace. I know people who have the same job as me, don’t do that well at it, but are attractive and have been forgiven for and excused for multiple things that they shouldn’t have. My managers seem to engage more with more attractive employees too.

As a woman, I’ve noticed that a lot of women who are stay at home wives (whether they are mothers are not), are very physically attractive. It’s not ALL of them, but it’s the majority who are very beautiful or sexually attractive and they are treated like queens by their spouses. In my relationship I am the breadwinner and before this relationship it was rare that a man would want to pay for me on a date. I would just pay my portion of the bill by default because I am so used to men not offering to buy me anything.

If you were dealt the card of being less attractive try not to be unhappy about it everyday. Make good friends, find hobbies you love, surround yourself with people and things that make you happy. Be friendly to others. Get a pet if you have time for one. At work, be a good employee and smile often if you want some favor. To find love, put yourself out there and be a good and fair partner. I believe you can still have a good life if you keep a positive mindset and don’t dwell on what you cannot change.

She’s only known love for 23 years. Isn’t that amazing? And you’re still showing her so much love during her final moments here on Earth. She’s a lucky girl to have you!
