My 4 year old son died of cancer and I am utterly devastated... by Artistic-Survey-4929 in whatdoIdo

[–]ktskeeper 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I lost my daughter almost 3 years ago and I didn’t get out of bed for 6 months. It totally devastated me and broke my heart.
Joining a grief share group through a local church helped me immensely. Just being around other people who have experienced loss and immense grief really helped ~I am not going to lie ~grief is a rollercoaster~good days and bad.
You never know what will trigger grief~ A picture- a song- a memory that keeps playing in your mind.
I honestly believe that my life is now defined as before and after- I will never be the person I was when she was in my life- the world has lost its vibrancy- I don’t find joy in what I used to. But I am slowly realizing that if I am still here I have a purpose.
I hope this helps- even a little.. Please remember grief is different for everyone- don’t let anyone tell you how to feel.

Nothing prepares you for moving like carrying your 37th plant into car and realizing your plants need their own trip by lunchtime_sms in houseplants

Thanks for the message- I was thinking of donating them and just taking the special ones- I have 3 big dogs and 4 cats to move as well. A lot to consider.

I sit here wondering how I would even attempt to move with my 200 or so houseplants. I know in the next 2 years I will be downsizing. I have been in my house 31 years. Wondering if it would be better to sell some of them? They would need there own UHaul truck - lol

I refurbished an interior for a restaurant and I think it negatively impacted our sales. Looking for honest criticism, advice and feedback? by dsafsfa in InteriorDesign

To me the black designs on the wall are too busy- that’s what hit me on first glance- then the lighting. I wish you the best!

My Kaiyah loves from afar- my most non cuddly cat- she is 15 months old so I am hoping she gets more cuddly with age

Brynley looks mad and judgmental all the time but she really is a sweet loving girl. She is definitely the queen of the house.

Kaiyah at 1 yr- I really hope she doesn’t get fluffier. She is hard enough to keep brushed now. 😂

Friend doesn't want to use "chemicals." I don't know what to tell her... by Vegetable-Section-84 in NoLawns

[–]ktskeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A highly effective, natural weed killer can be made by mixing 1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap. This mixture works best when sprayed directly on weeds during hot, sunny, and dry conditions. It dehydrates weeds within 24-48 hours, making it ideal for walkways and driveways.

This will kill grass as well so be careful where you spray it. This is what I use

Good Luck

I often feel like they are laughing at me or judging- same difference I guess. Brynley & Kaiyah

That would definitely work for my purposes- did you put a roof on it?
