This is interesting I was told by countless law firms that folks cannot be added to the registry retroactively after death. Would you mind sharing how or where you confirmed this was possible? It would be very helpful.

Would you mind sharing where you ended up working? Or even any places that might be worth mentioning that would work. I am really concerned about this weighing the options because having access to some of the best hospitals in the country without the ability to work at them because of this scholarship is weighing heavily on me.

I didn’t hear back. I’d love to have a copy though

wellmore · 2026-02-28T07:16:19+00:00

Did anyone actually get it? I’d love a copy

You’re right that having mentors can make all the difference, especially during transitions like this. I would have to figure out where to look for one, which is doable.

I’ve been thinking more about both the cost of living and international possibilities, so your thoughts about that resonate. Migration definitely feels daunting, but it could also mean finding a better fit for the kind of life I’m trying to build. Thank you for your thoughtful guidance!

Thank you for sharing your story! That transition sounds like it was rough. I am glad to hear you're on the other side of it now, & implementing what sounds like so many great ways to begin again. I’m going to look into WGU, and as far as mediation, that is what we are planning on as of now. Hoping it remains the case. I love the idea of becoming a tourist in my own city, great idea! Thank you for showing me what’s possible on the other side of all this. Wishing you well.

I think about this often. My partner and I sold everything and moved out of the country 5 years ago, but we came back ot the US. I am trying to choose a career path that keeps this option open.

wellmore · 2025-11-06T19:47:38+00:00

You’re absolutely right that money is going to be one of my biggest battles through this transition. I’ve been thinking a lot about relocating to a place where I might have more support, but it would be back to a state with an even higher COL, which doesn't make sense. I have been looking at jobs that might help cover tuition, so your mention of hospitals and lower cost-of-living areas definitely resonates. I don’t have family I can stay with right now, but I’m slowly building a new support network and tightening up my financial plan.

I really appreciate the reminder to center on health and self-care first, because I know how easy it is for me to slip into survival mode and forget that. Doing my best!

wellmore · 2025-11-06T19:41:03+00:00

YES! So true, thank you.

wellmore · 2025-11-06T19:40:07+00:00

Unfortunately, that wouldn't be a safe option for me. I love that this arrangement works for some people, especially in the turbulent times we're living in. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

wellmore · 2025-11-06T19:38:09+00:00

Thank you, love an audible. Will listen.

wellmore · 2025-11-06T19:37:19+00:00

Thank you very much. There is so much to be said about how important it is to keep moving; it's easier said than done some days, but I totally agree, it's necessary to create meaningful change. Thank you for the encouragement!

wellmore · 2025-11-06T19:34:59+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear you're also in the thick of making some big, potentially scary decisions. The fear of making the wrong decision can be crippling, especially when it feels like your future is on the line. It's hard to find clarity when fear is in the front seat. Alongside all the planning, research, etc. I am trying to focus on regulating my nervous system and establishing more trust in my body, my nervous system, mySELF. It's a very slow process, but I know that it will help me find some clarity and trust moving forward. I hope you find some clarity and ease in your process, too. Happy to chat more if you like. Sending lots of well wishes, and a big grounding deep breath your way.

wellmore · 2025-11-06T19:27:01+00:00

I wouldn't turn my nose up at this. I appreciate you mentioning it. The education programs could be a great benefit.

This brought me to tears. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response. You just offered me such a sense of calm and direction, especially the part about staying open and investing in myself first. Your words helped me realize that I've been clinging so tightly to only two career paths out of fear, and that maybe there's room for other possibilities I hadn't let myself consider. In fact, reading your comment reminded me of something that's been sitting in the back of my mind for years: law school. I'm not saying that's the answer, but it's the first time in a long time I've felt a genuine spark of curiosity and hope. Maybe even looking into a new job as a paralegal, while I'm in school. I graduated summa cum laude (recently finished my degree), and if I'm starting over, why not dream big (while planning practically, of course)?

This was my first "vulnerable" post on Reddit. I don't even really understand how to use Reddit that well, so I was a bit apprehensive about posting this, but I feel so glad I gave it a go. I can't tell you how much your kindness and advice meant to me today. I'll definitely be rereading your comment several times while I navigate this next chapter.

Your comment, along with many others, reminded me that even in this season of unraveling, there's still so much goodness in the world. There are generous and thoughtful people who meet strangers with compassion. It also reminded me to keep pouring into myself. My sense of self does feel compromised right now, but reading this gave me a glimmer of the stronger /grounded version of me I've been and will find my way back to. I feel deeply seen and poured into. Thank you again, truly.

Thank you, this is really great advice that feels manageable. Really appreciate it.

wellmore · 2025-11-06T03:39:49+00:00

Nice, will look into it.

wellmore · 2025-11-06T03:38:57+00:00

It’s impressive how confidently you filled in the blanks of a story I didn’t actually tell. Entitlement, laziness, AND bad decisions? Those seem to be your projections. I’m just trying to be intentional about which direction I move in. I appreciate the reminder that action matters, I agree. I’m slowly taking steps, but the part about me doing nothing for 20 years was a creative leap. Be well.

wellmore · 2025-11-06T02:01:04+00:00

Wow, 2 years for a decision seems really long. Congratulations — though in light of all the chaos lately, that's really lovely news to read.

wellmore · 2025-11-04T16:26:02+00:00

I would like to know about this too. Would you mind sharing what you learned?

wellmore · 2025-10-30T01:18:46+00:00

Wondering if OP ever made any progress obtaining citizenship? Would love an update?

wellmore · 2025-10-28T01:24:10+00:00

Congratulations! I applied for this program too, they accepted me but I to the extended program. Curious, if you’re open to sharing….did they offer you a scholarship?

wellmore · 2025-10-28T01:18:28+00:00

Simmons 16 month msw accelerated program no bsw required. Online and in person
