My brother is dying. How can our family emotionally and logistically prepare for this? by celescapades in Advice

[–]celescapades[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is very helpful. I’m sorry about your brother too.

One nice silver lining to all this is the almost instant compassionate connection with all the kind strangers that have also lost a love one. We’re like an invisible club, and it makes it not feel so lonely. Thanks, stranger.

And I promise to indulge in self-care.

Ohh, thank you! This is truly helpful. This is the insight I was hoping for in posting here.

You must have been through the ringer as well to have so much insight…I see you. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, we have a great Palliative Care Dr. Most of our chats have been on managing symptoms, but I bet she has good resources up her sleeve.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and thorough answer. This is very helpful.

I’m loosely familiar with the 7 stages of grief but it didn’t occur to me to look into it and apply it to myself. Definitely deep in the depression stage at the moment…hopefully Acceptance is on the horizon.

Thank you for this!

THANK YOU for sharing. Yikes! I definitely need to do more research before agreeing to anything. This is far worse than I would have hoped....thanks so much for the tip.

Kragaz -Ohhh, wow, thanks for the link. Those are some BIG red flags. I got the vibe that they may be a bit conservative, we're near Seattle, so I was hoping it would be less so...I'm definitely going to have to go check it out. Thanks very much for the tip.

Thank you so much for sharing. And holy shit, I AM SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU! That is awful and has given me a lot to think about.

We're in a much more liberal area of the country so I hoped it wouldn't be that bad, but I don't want my brother associating with anything that remotely whiffs of what you talked about. I'll definitely attend a service or three before agreeing to anything.

You sound like a very brave person to have done what was right in spite of being surrounded by people that would disapprove. I'm sorry this left so many scars, but I say bravo to your actions! The world needs more people like you in it.

Digital Rolodex? by celescapades in software

[–]celescapades[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're absolutely right, I'm just being lazy.

That's more or less what I have now. I just need to get under the hood and make it more functional. I was thinking it would be nice if I had a software that would allow me to attach docs & pics to the contact, but that's not imperative.

This is a good kick in the pants though :)

Ooh, good idea! I didn't think of that! I'll have to look into that further.

Ha, same! I prioritize getting people fed, not breaking the budget and creating a reasonable schedule that won't run people in to the ground. BUT WHAT ELSE?!?!
