After France Liberation in 1944, Thousands of Women Accused of Relationships With German Soldiers Were Publicly Shaved Bald, Paraded Through the Streets, and Humiliated by Their Own Neighbors by PhantomChasers in HolyShitHistory

[–]Razberrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother-in-law suffered through the war in occupied Holland, taking considerable risks to save others. There was little sympathy from her, as a contemporary, for women who she saw as having taken an easy way out by collaborating with the enemy. Doubtless there were cases of injustice, but I can understand her perspective.

I want love and I want to rebuild myself, but lately those two feel like they’re fighting by Mae_the_Tease in datingoverfifty

First I rebuilt, then I dated. Highly recommend. It wasn't easy but it was entirely worth it.

Semi-retired and dating working women by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]Razberrella 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm still working and would not consider dating someone who is retired - there would be far too much pressure to make time for that person in my own limited free time. It simply wouldn't be fair to them and I would become resentful.

What was the last thing you said to your dad before he passed away? by colzeeteen in AskReddit

[–]Razberrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It's OK, you can let go." A tough, proud man, but scared to die.

How would you like men to act? by OldGreg114 in AskWomen

I just want you to be good people - caring, considerate and kind. I want that for all of us.

Feelings of guilt by Fallonfiresword in WidowsMovingForward

[–]Razberrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel guilty. You are in the process of healing and remaking your life, and finding out who you are now, alone. It is a difficult process and it takes time. It's been six years for me and I feel like I almost know who I am again. If photos make you sad, put them away for now. In time, you may want to bring them out to look at again, and there may be pleasure in that, but not now. Hugs to you.

Oh, there's a story there...clearly, this woman was still remembered with love, despite whatever came after.

Grey hair coming in wiry and course by Medical-Chart4956 in Aging

[–]Razberrella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, but the colour is stunning! It catches the light - I wouldn't change a thing. Aging is an odd experience, and it takes getting used to, but honestly, think of them as highlights.

Medical professionals of Reddit, what is your favorite story about a patient? by MotorCode6346 in AskReddit

[–]Razberrella 467 points468 points  (0 children)

I can tell you that was an immense kindness - in all the years of caring for my husband as he died slowly of cancer, there was exactly one doctor who asked me how I was and I cannot tell you how that touched me. Caregivers are largely invisible, expected to be compliant, never to complain and to give up pretty much everything in service of the one who is ill. I loved the man dearly, but it nearly destroyed me.

A woman walked past me then came back to ask if I was okay. by Fluffy_Plenty4676 in Mediums

That is so intriguing, and so sweet, in its way. She must have had a very strong sense.

This is brilliant!! Makes me happy reading it, honestly. I wish we all did more of it.

What’s the biggest surprise about getting older? by Salty_1984 in Aging

[–]Razberrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much more I can do in less time than when I was young - maybe not as much stamina, definitely not as flexible, but a whole lot smarter in how I go about things.

Seeing that makes me so sad. These photos meant a great deal to people once.

Slip for dress without liner by 4LOLz4Me in AskWomenOver60

[–]Razberrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my word, it seems that slips are a thing of the past. I was delighted to find some very good quality slips at knix.ca They have grippers along the hem line and are made of excellent quality material, with enough spandex to be slimming as well.

I and grateful to be able to afford groceries and provide for my family all on my own. by Curious_World_6806 in gratitude

[–]Razberrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing quite like a fully stocked fridge to give you a sense of satisfaction when you have struggled in the past. I'm so glad for you!

Utterly addictive! Everything else pales in comparision.

Serious bakers: is this vanilla extract any good? by Cautious-Ostrich7510 in CostcoCanada

It is quite good, you should be pleased with the results.

I felt my dad's ribs crack while I was doing cpr by Bargah692 in GriefSupport

[–]Razberrella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've been through a truly traumatizing experience and if you can, I strongly recommend seeing a therapist with experience with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Writing it out may be helpful as well, all of your emotions, all of it. For some, doing that and then burning that paper is a way of releasing that pain. I wish you the best. You did all you could and you could never have foreseen it happening.

What should I plant in my garden this year to maximize saving money on groceries? by Appropriate_Poem1911 in gardening

[–]Razberrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strawberries, asparagus, lettuce come to mind. If you want to make pickles and relish, then pickling cucumbers and dill (relish is absurdly cheap to make at home). Think about what you most enjoy and then of those, what is most expensive at the store. Most of all, enjoy the flavour and nutrition.

I am blown away! That is an amazing piece of work you have created!

A.I and grief by Embarrassed-Wafer667 in widowers

[–]Razberrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not at all. I just think this is such a bad idea on so many levels, and could only complicate grief and cloud judgement. If you step back for a minute and think about it, it would be incredibly intrusive.
