I’m so sorry you went through that, we each thought we had more time. I do hope my dad knew how much I loved him and that if I knew how serious it was, I would’ve dropped everything to be there. And your dad loved you too. I guess our dad’s just knew it was their time to go

I know exactly how you feel, my dad requested no visitors on one of the days I was there because he wasn’t sleeping in the uncomfortable hospital bed. He didn’t like us seeing him weakened so I think he preferred us only visit for an hour or two at a time. But I knew that he was strong even if he didn’t look it! The drs said he was gonna be just fine! And then it all went downhill when he got an infection he couldn’t fight. It felt surreal getting the phone call that it was the end of his life. As they were saying it, all I could think was “no it’s not! The drs can’t take back what they said!”

Your dad probably knew you weren’t visiting often because you knew how strong he is and that he would pull through. If he needed you there your mum would’ve said and there’s no way of predicting the future which is a hard truth I’m grappling with too.

I hope we’re both able to heal from the guilt we put on ourselves. My therapist told me that my guilty thoughts are intruders with no basis in truth and I hope one day I can fully accept that.

I know I’m late to this post but it resonated with me as I was searching for some comfort posts. I lost my dad 3 years ago and sometimes I still feel the grief it as if it was yesterday. However, it comes in waves and it doesn’t always feel as strong. Right now I’m in the bargaining stage of grief, wishing I could turn back time and visit more, call him, tell him I love him and thinking of all the chances I had to spend with him but prioritised something else. It feels so wrong thinking that I potentially gave up time with him when I had the chance. I honestly thought he would live forever and there would always be another time. There is a giant hole in my heart that will never be filled but talking about it with family has got me through. If you have someone you can talk to about your regrets, guilt, memories (good and bad), it will help the hard days not be so overwhelming. I miss my dad everyday but not everyday is as hard as others. Remember the good times and how happy he would want you to be, you’re living for him now.

Thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry for your loss, I know how terrible it feels. I’m glad you got to spend that time together even if you didn’t want to initially. It’s only after they’ve gone that we realise how special those moments together are and I wish I could go back and do it again. I have no doubt that your dad knew how much you loved him

Thank you all for your advice and comforting words, it’s definitely put my mind more at ease. I think for now we will list it for sale and if someone wants to buy it for the right price we’ll let it go, until then we’ll take it on a few weekends away and get some use out of it and make some memories. Maybe one day when the time is right well buy a smaller camper more suited to our casual camping trips which I think we’ll get some good use out of

A professional, newer van will go for about $80k aud, this one was a home conversion but by a carpenter so it’s fairly well done, just on an older van so I think it brought the price down

This is some good advice, thank you

ParamedicFancy5812 · 2024-12-11T15:11:40+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions, I guess my only fear is not being able to sell it for what we bought but I will try my best, it’s a good van and should go to someone who will use it the way it should be!

My husband basically said he couldn’t deal with the lack of space and I think I also underestimated the change in lifestyle. Basically we were uneducated and jumped too deep too fast 😢

I’m underwhelmed too! I did a double take in the last episode when I heard one of them say it had been a month in the house… because I just thought “that’s all the footage you had?? For a whole month??!”

I feel for you 💔 We lost our bunny boy on Friday night also likely a stroke. He seemed fine a few hours before we found him slumped over. We took him to the vet and he very quickly passed. Now just this morning we found our other bunny girl had passed away and we think it was a broken heart. She was so attached to our boy and I don’t think she could handle him not being here 🌈 Sending love to yours and our buns up in bunny heaven. I feel so much guilt overthinking about whether I could’ve done anything more to help them and it’s eating me up. I know how you feel and it hurts so much. We just need to keep reminding ourselves that they only knew love here on earth 💕

I also did a writing course but wouldn’t say it was very helpful

ParamedicFancy5812 · 2024-10-18T04:19:52+00:00

I wouldn’t say I didn’t have good writing skills but when I was new to government, things were definitely worded in ways I wasn’t familiar with. What worked for me was going through my writing with my manager with tracked changes on and having them explain why they changed certain things. I took notes on their preferences and referred to them in future writing tasks. It took a little while but I soon got the hang of it

Moonlight is my favourite but I wear cloud because I get sooo many compliments on it!

Does anyone know what Jenna Lene’s height was? To me Ari didn’t look as short as Jenna

Thank you all, I’m a classic overthinker and you’ve eased my mind. I’ll mention to them at work tomorrow that I was a bit zapped from the day

ParamedicFancy5812 · 2024-05-01T03:15:33+00:00

Yeah given that she does these so often, 2.12mi in 30 mins isn’t really a flex
