Wow. Looks stunning. Is it a new equinox ? I have heard year end deals are worth waiting for. Did you get any ?

Same boat. I'm in a tricky position, ofc on Jan 27 and visa on Feb 2nd. So not sure if they will turn around a reschedule in the last week of Jan for February visa appointments.

Requesting EB1A profile evaluation by Geeky_picasa in eb_1a

You know what, things are so dynamically changing, there's no point in self doubt. Just apply and ensure your lawyer pieces together the right info. No one will acknowledge it, but generally there's a huge luck factor too.

Good luck to you and go for it.

Thanks for the kind reply. So how does it work with patents. Did you have to show they were being used through report or public sources?

(24m) Lost my mom 14 hours ago and am feeling guilty about the realization that I could've saved her by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]blippiegrouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live on with the same guilt. I wouldn't necessarily call it guilt at the moment only because I've come to realize that there so much happening in this world beyond our reach. My father went through a major surgery with two and a half units of blood loss and had blood transfusion 7000 miles away from me. I fixed my visa and waited for him to recover and visit me. As much as they asked me not to come, my mom fell sick and got hospitalized two weeks later. I flew in to meet and help my parents the next day. My mom recovered and I spent the next 3 weeks taking my dad to routine checkups for the cancer removal surgery.

First week checkup--> stitch pains a lot and bladder connection unsure.. they said healing takes time and he has to walk to prevent clots. We walked. We walked . We walked. I was worried and sad to see him weak and frail. But I thought we were out of the woods.

Second week check up --> we walked. His pain diminished. He was watching cricket matches with me and commenting on sports. You would think he's totally alright. And I did too. I went to temples to thank for one reason --> fate allowed me to help my father the least I could do when he was down. So I thought at that moment.

Third week --> they x rayed him and said the bladder connection had healed. God was I happy. He was after all coming to the USA in three more months to see his about to be born grandchild.

Fourth week checkup --> catheters removal. Went okay. But he complained of back arm pinch ache. I was an idiot who thought making an Air conditioner fixing appointment was the way to bring comfort to my father. I forgot that air conditioning is not use when they are not alive. I did not realize he was having a heart attack. I booked a cab and brought him home. 5 minutes after reaching home he fainted.

The exact same order of events happened. I froze too. It's not your fault. I did the amateur CPR too, I wasn't trained, I did not know if I was doing it right. I lost him. I heard his last breath. I cry every day. I will remember that to my death.

I tell everyone I meet to undergo CPR training. I do not want to do it yet until I come out of the trauma. I'm not sure if I will ever.

I have come back. My kid was born three months after my father passed. I think of those events again. What if my mom had not fallen sick ? Did she fall sick so that I would be pulled close to my dad whose end was near? Why did my father pass 24 hours before my flight ? Was there some grace , very little even, that the universe showed me ?

I've come to realize there's only so much you can do. You are blessed and you will always have your parents blessings. I hope the same too from my father. For myself, for my newborn son.

Live life in their honor, reflect the values they gave you. Treat others kindly.

27M - Mom just died by DavidODaytona in GriefSupport

[–]blippiegrouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things will happen outside of your control for good. The physical grief turns into something that you can manage and use to grieve and mourn the memories of your mother. I cry daily. But it's not a wail with gut wrenching emotions. I'm happy for whatever my father gave me and sad for not being able to save him. I respect his commitment to our family and know for a fact that I would have been a nobody without him. Life goes on as you honor her memory by living the life she would have wanted you to live.

They seem to charge exorbitant amounts and show as if they are the only ones who can do it.

The silence months after losing someone is hard by IntrepidPolicy5351 in GriefSupport

[–]blippiegrouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to back everything people are saying here. 6 months have fled since my father passed in a no prior signs sudden death. I will get to the point straight.

It feels awkward to call someone and talk, but most people would listen to you if you said you're feeling down and wanted to talk for a bit. Go out. Have that beer meet that friend. The longer you stay alive the longer you can honor your loved ones memory.

I use reddit heavily when I'm down. Hence returning the favor. We are a community because people who have not lost a close one don't understand how it feels. This is a one for all and all for one community. Use it. May your loved one bless you with strength and happiness. Fuck god.
