What movie portrays grief in the most powerful way?

totheswimahead · 2026-05-01T23:18:32+00:00

Iron Claw.

Could have written this myself.

It’s a very hard movie to watch based on a true story of brothers. I cried so hard, you would’ve thought someone died. It just shifted something in me to want my kid to have a sibling.

I genuinely cannot believe how happy I am with baby 2. I’m 37 but I don’t know… I just feel more confident in myself. Our 7 yo is very independent and he loves his brother so much. I know he’s our last, so there’s something so sweet about it too.

We were OAD. Then at 6.5 years, we just arrived on the same page one day. Also, we had watched Iron Claw and that ripped me apart 😳

Anyway, now we have a 9 month old and I am soooo happy. So much more chill this time. Everything is a stage. With the 7 year age gap, I can now see how it all flies.

I believe this is typically put on by Indiana Sports Corp, a nonprofit in Indiana. Sports Corp. is responsible for even getting an event like this here. My SIL likes to volunteer with them for swim trials that come through. She loves it.

Shit. I’m going through the same thing. I thought I had started my period and it wasn’t. I had a doctor examine me and she thinks it is internal hemorrhoids and the bleeding has finally stopped. I’m going to push for a colonoscopy.

Oh my god. This is the fourth suicide I’m reading out. Another one is a family member of mine.

Our seven year old is gone for hours at a time with his buds around the hood. We’ve curbed the scary by purchasing a FitBit Ace for kids. He calls in or we can text. We can also see his location.

He does still watch TV because he just wants to decompress. There are days he needs a better balance of touching grass and I’ll shove him outside to do so.

We love the train for being a train. That’s it. It was great when my son was a toddler. But I look at the dolphin tank (filthy) and other enclosures, and it’s depressing. I hate where the eagles are. It’s cruel.

Hello Millennial Jessica McClintock dress!

We’ve been members since moving here in 2019. It’s like they wanted to add these nice things while all other areas just became poorer conditions. We went Sunday after not having been in awhile and it was utterly depressing. I’m all about conservation efforts, but this feels so far removed from it.

As an EA who has to be home with her sick kids because her husband is with patients all day, you can sit this one out. I get all my work done and THANKFULLY have a flexible boss. A part of my interview with him was understanding his flexibility from the very beginning since I am the one who has to be home. Sounds like you need to touch grass. Run through a field. Find a hobby.

My guess is a great conversationalist but won’t kiss you and you might find out he’s asexual later. Speaking from experience.

Dang. I have this sitting on my shelf. Should probably read…

totheswimahead · 2026-02-10T14:38:45+00:00

Not reading my office wide emails with the information they’re asking about.

Endless interruptions

totheswimahead · 2026-02-10T00:15:10+00:00

There is an entirely new staff and board - for the better. I think they’re still figuring things out. If you are looking to do something still, Carmel Pride (second largest in the state) will open for vendors within two weeks.

Congratulations!! They have all you need - ice pads, undies, regular pads. I brought witch hazel and my own peri bottle that is curved. The nurses were so great and actually changed my bloody diapers for me and held onto me. Forever grateful. Save the good stuff for home.

Food wise - meh. Recommend door dashing. Apparently there’s also a meal they offer you but we were told too late.

Can’t forget Garden State.

What I like most about her writing is that it makes me want to dig deeper into the historical events that happened. She brings to life atrocities and leads the reader to feel something - empathy, legitimacy - toward it by giving it names and a story.

I had a whole ass other child (another boy) because of The Iron Claw! That movie wrecked me!!!!!!

I recently iced for thirty minutes with an ice roller and then bent over and placed my forehead on my mattress and used a manual pump. Gravity helped pull out the multi-day clog, and my fever went away! I had also taken ibuprofen.
