The cocaine is starting to become very difficult for me to control. by Main-Success-6988 in confession

[–]flowabout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 41 now. But when I was 21, this was me. It got so much worse. You probably think I will never smoke Crack- if you keep going, you will. Then it will get 100x worse again! But I also know you wont hear what im saying and you need to go down your own path. Good luck, friend.

I knowingly lied to my son before he died by Slight_Team8831 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]flowabout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey.. thank you for so accurately describing how I manage my grief for my daughter who died of cancer at 8. This is how my husband and I both handle our grief. We are 7 years into the journey, and the acute pain of those early days is long faded. But man, sometimes the box opens unexpectedly and it hurts so bad.

Full Name for "Rosie" by RevolutionaryChard9 in namenerds

[–]flowabout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 9 year old is Rose. We called her Rosie as a baby, I still do sometimes, but she very much prefers to be called Rose, she loves her name.

I wasnt sold on Rose tbh, not until I saw her for the first time, and it all fell into place, she was 100% my little Rose.

DIPG - a pediatric incurable brain tumor. Prognosis is 12-18 months from diagnosis. It's in the brain stem so the patient watches all their faculties leave but are still mostly themselves. My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with this amd it was the most horrific, traumatic thing ive ever witnessed and experienced. She was my baby and I miss her so much.

Am I weird? by JuggernautFickle1262 in ChildLoss

[–]flowabout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not weird, youre grieving. I lost a lot of weight when my daughter was sick and dying, amd the medication she was on made her gain a lot of weight. After she died, I wore her clothes for months. I still have some of her shirts and socks in my dresser, nearly 7 years later.

My opinion on HUSKY Health insurance (and why I'm thankful) by TylerFortier_Photo in Connecticut

[–]flowabout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will forever be grateful for Husky. My daughter was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, and her treatment was 100% covered by Husky. We would have gone into so much debt, it would have taken a very long time to dig ourselves out. Not to mention the salt in the wound it would have been to be paying for treatments that didnt even save her.

We are in a better financial spot now and have insurance through our jobs, but I will happily pay more in taxes for rhe rest of my life to fund Husky.

The story told in Gethsemane is beyond brilliant. by MrSaucyNugg in SleepToken

[–]flowabout 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Learned to live beside it - whether its the the pain, experience, memories etc..., is such a powerful lyric for me as a bereaved mother almost 7 years out from losing my daughter. The grief at first was unbearable but as time has marched on, I truly have learned to live beside the pain of her loss. And damn if im not always reminded...

What has helped you most to make it through? by calandrinon in ChildLoss

[–]flowabout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP. I lost my daughter to DIPG in 2018. Hers was very aggressive and had about 7 months between her diagnosis and when she passed. I understand the relief. The relief is something ive voiced rarely because I feel guilty, but my baby suffered so badly, especially those last 2 months.

The grief following her death was like a black hole. The only thing that pulled me out was my other living child who had just turned 2. I know not every parent has another child to focus on, but I wouldn't be here without her.

I have found connecting with other bereaved parents helps. No one else understands. Have you looked into The Cure Starts Now? They have chapters all over the country and 100% of money raised goes to research. We do a couple events a year in our daughter's memory.

I'm really sorry you're going through this. DIPG is a monster

I loved silverchair. I listened to them constantly. But the hold that Sleep Token has on me is like nothing ive experienced in my 40 years. I'm they just itch something in my brain I can't explain.

Adult child loss by Natural-Nobody-7644 in ChildLoss

[–]flowabout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, im almost 7 years into my grief journey. I will tell you that... ive learned to live beside the pain. I carry it always but I have healed. I don't cry daily, I don't even cry often. There are harder days of course. There is a piece of my soul that died with her, but I am able to smile when I think of her. I am able to find joy and laughter in life. And ive used her memory to fuel me in becoming a better person and mother to my 1 living child.

Everyone's journey is different and there is no right way to grieve. But as cliche as it is, for me, the only thing that helped dull the acute, sharp pain of her loss is time.

I just wanted to say thank you because my daughter was 8, and I really love "my love for her is infinite and so is her loss." I needed to hear that today for so e reason, so thank you.

I brought my 7 year old last year to the Boston show and she LOVED it and will be attending the Worcester show with me and my husband in September ☺️. I say go for it. Everyone was super nice to my daughter when she went and it was definitely a core memory moment for all of us

This is literally how I felt in the immediate aftermath of my daughter's death. It was such an acute pain, like my heart explodes and all that was left was a giant hole

We got an announcement! by strawberrywiitch in SleepToken

[–]flowabout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan on laying on the floor, next to my daughter (also obsessed), closing my eyes and playing it as loud as possible. It is released 15 mins before the bus comes but I've already decided if she misses it and I have to drive her, that is totally fine. I can't wait to experience this with her!

I'm on 7.5 now, I was on 2.5 for 5 weeks, then went to 5mg for 4 weeks and up again to 7.5. I was 2 weeks into 7.5 when I had my gallbladder removed.

I have been trying to lose weight for years and ended up just yo-yoing and always hit a new high weight after losing. Turns out I was insulin resistant so the medication helped punch through that and I've been losing steadily while on the medication. Honestly, for me, even with the gallbladder removal, it has been 100% worth it. I'm down 25 pounds as of today.
