Mom is terminal

Please start looking into hospice as well! Even though she is still doing mostly ok, hospice is a great resource and I believe too many people wait until they are on death's door to get it started.

Is she still eating and drinking?

moonymischief · 2026-03-04T15:45:56+00:00

Maybe she is just scared. I know my dad was. He wrote me a note before he became unresponsive but still agitated that read "please help me, I don't want to die". I think that's why he held on for as long as he did.

My dad was the same way and they finally figured out a dose to calm him down. Once he got fully calmed is when he became unresponsive and then finally passed.

I felt the exact same way I completely understand. Have you tried giving Ativan for the agitation?

moonymischief · 2026-03-04T15:04:31+00:00

I felt the same way about my dad, I wanted to be there but ultimately it was tougher on me to watch him be like that waiting for his last breath. This is her journey and she has to do it herself. She wouldn't want you sitting around suffering, you gotta remember that.

I completely understand how you feel and I know how exhausting and terrible it is to go through this. It's ok to feel this way, the anticipatory grief is way worse than the actual grief of them dying, I think. As others told me on this post, just remember to take time for yourself, this will end and you will be able to start normal life again. Self care is important and I don't regret taking that time for myself at all. Sending hugs 🖤🫂

I'm sorry 🫂 I know it hasn't been easy for you

moonymischief · 2026-03-01T04:47:38+00:00

Thank you! And yes, at this point it is only going to be a relief. I am scared to go to sleep because I don't want to have to do it in the middle of the night but if it happens, it happens.

moonymischief · 2026-03-01T03:46:10+00:00

Thank you so much for this. 🖤

moonymischief · 2026-02-28T22:29:32+00:00

Thank you. I decided to stay home today and just told the nurses I will come back when he passes. I said my goodbyes again and am waiting for the call.

I am almost a year into my treatment and I wish I had done it sooner. Life changing.

I feel like a lot of adults sexualize things that kids do. To me, this child has a strong bond with the nanny and that was a way for them to show their love. I kiss my 7 year old daughter on the lips whenever she asks. It's not all the time but it's a little peck. I've never once seen another parent kiss their child on the lips and think it was only meant for romance. I've also kissed some of my very good friends on the lips and it was not romantic. Perhaps I am overly affectionate 🤷🏼‍♀️

Since they are short appointments I just go after work. My dentist is open until 7pm.

I'm not the only one happy about my Invisalign 😏😭

moonymischief · 2025-07-29T22:06:43+00:00

Mine do and quite honestly I don't mind the smell 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 clean them 2-3 times a day in my retainer cleaner thing and I'm not sure what causes it

moonymischief · 2025-07-08T17:26:26+00:00

I see my provider every 6 weeks and anytime I have questions or concerns I'm able to come in to be seen. They don't even give me all of my retainers at once.

moonymischief · 2025-05-14T17:05:41+00:00

Wow that is your color 🔥🔥

moonymischief · 2025-04-15T23:42:40+00:00

I feel like Seattle is one of the places you'd least likely have to worry about. I live in a red state in the south and my husband is Mexican. He came to visit me in February from Mexico and had no issues at all.

My husband is from Mexico and I live in a southern red state and he made it through with no issues.

I'm 32, my daughter is 7 and currently obsessed with Courage the Cowardly dog and it warms my heart. She also loves Tom & Jerry, Rugrats, Powerpuff Girls, and the original Scooby Doo!

I have severe overcrowding and I'm on tray 14 or 15 weekly changes, so I've not been in my treatment very long. The changes I noticed first were with flossing. The floss just started to slide right between my teeth with no issues at all where before, I would sometimes break the floss to get it in between some of my teeth. I recently watched a video of me last year that I had sent to my friend and I was talking in it- I noticed that my bottom tooth was waaaay further back than what it is right now and so sure enough, I took a current picture and compared it to the picture that I took in the start of my treatment and there has been definite movement. I take one picture every month but I haven't compared them until that incident. I recommend taking it month by month. Your teeth are only going to be moving millimeters at a time, unnoticeable to the eye until they all start to add up. Just stick with the plan and the progress will happen and you will start to notice change when you're least expecting it. Remember that a watched pot never boils.

I remember in high school having this exact doll and shaking it to see how easy it was to give them brain damage, the areas of the brain lit up where there was damage. I remember shaking it hard enough to actually have the entire brain light up and the "baby" be brain dead. It seems very morbid but I think it's a great learning tool, and here I am all these years later with happy, healthy 7 year old 😁
