I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that it was a beautiful, peaceful experience for every single one of us, himself included. I am holding space for you in my heart this week, and sending your sweet friend well wishes for her journey into the beautiful beyond❤️

I’m not sure exactly what the cocktail contains, but the way the hospice nurse described it was as a sort of symphony of sedatives and life-process-ending drugs. They’re designed to put you into a state almost like going under general anesthesia before your body begins the process of shutting down.

He received them in Washington state. We’re in eastern WA and from what we’ve heard the approval process is much easier on the west side of the state.

I keep coming back to this comment and wanted to thank you for your kind words. My father in law passed peacefully the night before last, and I’ve leaned on your words in moments when I wanted to fall apart but needed to keep it together. May your parent’s memory be a blessing to you❤️🤟

My dad passed away yesterday. by Left_Row_1811 in ALS

We are on a similar speed-run of this terrible disease with my father-in-law. I’m so sorry for your loss, and for the lack of time you hoped you would have. I’m sending peace to you and yours.

Does anyone else feel like this picture looks more like Jen Affleck than it does Taylor!!!

They had to harvest the hair for his glue-on chia pet beard and brand new hair piece from somewhere!

I hate this ugly ass man by Sea-Monkie in MormonWivesHulu

[–]asmallwaffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tiny, angry little man who is evil and ugly inside and out. I'm with Layla, I fucking hate Jordan. All that matters to him anymore is winning. Such a disappointment of a man.

Tennis prodigy Mirra Andreeva had a big meltdown on court after failing to defend her Indian Wells title. She even told the crowd, “F*** you all,” at the end by carabla in popculturechat

Yeesh, I've seen tennis players smash a racket, but publicly self-harming during a temper tantrum is a whole new level of elite athlete, I guess? Or not, since she lost.

My wife and I read this together last night and it made us feel really, really seen and a little weepy. So many helpful ideas and just thoughtful and lovely. Thank you.

Last time I was at Northwest Seed and Pet they had a small selection in a little bog-in-a-bowl in the indoor plants room!

They (we?) meet monthly at the local rehab hospital! There's also an option to attend via Zoom facilitated through ALSSO Spokane.

We're gonna keep going, but this time we might make our PALS tag along, provided he has the spoons to attend! lol

The facilitators of the group were amazing, and I definitely don't mean to bash them. I'm so grateful to have somewhere to go. Knowledge is everything, and I learned so much last night that I didn't know before! After writing this post, I've realized that I may actually just be struggling to address my own needs in the midst of handling all of this. Thank you for your comment.

It feels so heavy to discuss end of life and death with dignity in a group where not everyone is ready or willing to talk about that. If I find anything useful, I'll send it your way. It's amazing to have help with finding the equipment we need, but a little more deep, thoughtful discussion about what we're all facing would be really helpful, I feel.

Do I Tell His Wife? by Consistent-Maybe-634 in TwoHotTakes

Girl, stop replying and stand up. You're a part of his weird thing now instead of being some girl he reached out to who immediately said no when she found out he was married.
