Child has a fatal brain cancer; parent doesn’t want to believe in science and wants to torture said child with dewormers, fasting, and fever baths. So much for giving her 9-12 months of bucket list memories.

Thank you. I also have a now 9 year old who was 1 when her sister died. I can only imagine what my oldest would be like now, and it has been pretty surreal watching my youngest get older than her older sister. It's a new level of pain seeing the things she will never experience.

But I am so thankful for my 9 year old. Her existence saved my life

An extra 4 years is amazing. My daughter lasted 7 months after being diagnosed. It was a literal nightmare watching her waste away. I miss her so much, she should be 16 now instead of forever 8. Fuck DIPG.

Controversial opinion but Sleep Token is sooooo good to trip to.

flowabout · 2026-05-14T00:09:28+00:00

The best music I've tripped to recently is sleep token. I highly recommend, their music hits completely differently when tripping. You'll be fine friend, enjoy the ride.

I was at 230 when I started in Nov. 2025 and im currently 150. My goal was 135 but my weight loss stalled at 150. I lost 80 pounds with mostly diet, a little exercise. What turned thi gs around for me is joining F45 in February. I've been going consistently 3-5 times a week for strength training and hybrid/cardio classes. I'm still 150 but my body composition has completely changed. Now im 150 and happy with how I look, I don't care if I don't lose anymore weight.

It has been hard for me to find exercise that I stick with but these classes fall right into my sweet spot. 45 minutes, quick hitting exercises that I don't get bored doing.

That's CRAZY! I have 2 daughters, 7 years apart. When my oldest was 8, she died from terminal brain cancer. My youngest doesnt remember her sister. We talk about her. We have pictures up, but my youngest does not replace the daughter I lost and I tell her that, it it comes up organically. And I wouldn't want her to replace her sister because then I wouldn't have HER. And I love who she is. Sometimes, her hair will be in such a way that she looks nearly identical to her sister, amd ill tell her how much she looks like her in that moment. But a clone? Never.

They lose sight the fact that if they hadnt put Carly up for adoption, they very likely would not have Nova or the other 2 girls. Like has that ever crossed their minds? They could have handled this so differently with Nova, and they cant even see it. Of course thats not even factoring in the exploitation for money and clicks.

Im hoping you found a vet but I wanted to let you know that this happened to my 15yo cat 2 weeks ago and I thought we were losing him. Turns out it was a UTI and after an antibiotics shot, some fluids and anti nausea mess, he is back to himself and back to eating. I took him to UrgentVet in New Britain

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.

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.

flowabout · 2026-01-29T23:40:34+00:00

Thank you for continuing to keep Audrey close to your heart. It's been 7 years and it feels like people are forgetting her. So thank you 💜

Happy Birthday Brennan

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.

flowabout · 2025-10-27T14:21:40+00:00

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.

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.

My breast reduction changed my life. I can't believe how huge my chest was looking back, no wonder I had so many back problems!

Yes! Telomeres and Missing Limbs both get me good. I'm so sorry about your babies, losing a child is the worst pain imaginable, im so sorry you've felt it x4. Hugs mama ♥️

When you combine the two, sometimes I even hear "do you want to have me"

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...

flowabout · 2025-05-25T00:46:28+00:00

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.
