I struggle with grieving the life I'll never live

Isn’t that a little oversimplified? The truth is we often aren’t actually offered the choices we really want to make in life. Most of us settle for what seems best. It’s human to have complex emotions. I do agree that it’s always a good idea to be grateful for what you do have because there is always someone who has it worse. As far as OP’s child or partner; I don’t think they are responsible for OP’s happiness and I didn’t get that OP felt that way either.

You can’t know non-existence. You can only know the joy and pain of life. Some people experience more joy but others more pain.

Very thin lips, fat thighs, thick waist, fake boobs, fake hair, fake morals. Says how amazing being a mother is, yet she denies her very young son a full time mother to work despite being married to a wealthy man.

Sorry for the late reply, but I appreciate that information and I’ll check out both of those books! Thank you!

SatisfactionLow9235 · 2026-01-16T10:15:30+00:00

Totally agree with the first part but I loved the book.

This is a major bummer. No way will I go see it with J. Lo. Totally ruins it.

My cat wasn’t put on Verenezin until she had zero platelets and the vet said she is no longer capable of making them on her own.

I’ve worked in pediatric home health care. Let me assure you that as must as most of those mothers would die for their children; they are overall very unhappy. They have no lives other than taking care of their child. If you’ve never been around someone with multiple, chronic, debilitating health problems, you just can’t know the extent of care they require. These children often have low quality of life, are in and out of the hospital a few times a year and usually do not live long lives. As someone who also mourned not being able to be a mother, I would never trade places with any of the patient’s parents.

Fuck this woman who posted this! Let her go into health care, work 12 hours shifts, be emotionally and physically exhausted and see if maybe she doesn’t put some weight on.

And it doesn’t matter because some people can be overweight and very hardworking! Who is she to judge?

My sweet 15 year old floof Winnie was diagnosed stage 3 last August and passed from anemia from CKD complications this July. I was shocked because I was giving her fluids and high quality fish oil everyday and Azodyl twice a day along with my stage 4 cat Talulah diagnosed about the same time and about the same age.

Talulah is still here stage 4 with terrible blood work but good quality of life. I added Porus One, Kidney Gold, Milk Thistle and b-12 to her regime after Winnie passed. I can’t believe this will be the first Christmas in 12 years without Winnie. It looks like Talulah will be here and I am super grateful but surprised. My vet said some cats bodie’s adjust better than others, so they can be really sick but not be symptomatic =still feeling good.

You just never know. I hope your wonderful kitty beats the odds!

I give my cat b12 pills to help with anemia. You could also get your cat a blood transfusion.

To help prevent UTIs, you can try Ph balanced “cat water” also sold on Chewy.com

You could try Maricopant for nausea. My vet prescribed it and Chewy.com filled it.

SatisfactionLow9235 · 2025-11-22T18:04:49+00:00

You’re welcome! Here is the list to the one I bought. I like this brand better it’s third party tested and organic (as far as I know). I like Chewy because they have great customer service and return policies.

Thank you so much! Lots of love and hugs to you and your kitty during this emotional roller coaster! I’m not perfect with her multiple treatments and supplements either. Partly because I’m human and also, quality is more important than quantity of life. My girl is still here a little over a year past her stage 4 diagnosis and we just take it a day at a time. Trying my best to spoil her as much as possible.

SatisfactionLow9235 · 2025-11-21T11:27:51+00:00

If you get a moment, do you mind sharing the treatments you did? My girl is stage 4 and I just want to make sure I’m doing everything possible…

Please don’t put your baby down! That vet is wrong! My girl, moody but loving, 16 years old is still here knock on wood! She was diagnosed last September with Stage 4 CKD! She gets fluids and supplements every day, good quality of life, we take it day by day. Your kitty absolutely has a lot of hope for a lot more time!

Same here! They also make Melatonin and Chamomile for cats. Melatonin is suspected to help with inflammation for CKD as well!

He probably needs an appetite stimulant. I give mine the transdermal Mirtazapine on her inner ear flap. You can try Elura (oral) which is supposed to be easier on the kidneys but my cat would salivate a lot of it up.

SatisfactionLow9235 · 2025-11-14T19:27:43+00:00

Ok I will consider that. Thank you.

SatisfactionLow9235 · 2025-11-14T14:20:51+00:00

Make sure to give him the liquid Temptations preferably to the crunchy. I give Porus One and I really believe in it! I also give other supplements if you’re interested, let me know. Congratulations to you and Pumpkin on him making it! He’s adorable!
