Does anyone ever feel this way..?It is so sad.:0(
Comments (27)I choose to enjoy my plants when I can. I live in China now, so I have a good friend who is taking care of my collection for me. I have him send pictures during the growing season. I am trying to figure out which ones of my relatives are into c & s, so I can decide who to 'leave' my plants to. I start most of my plants from seed, including saguaros and pachycereus pringlei. So I have no hope of ever seeing them grow arms. I plan to be cremated and thrown into the Atlantic off Maine along with my dog's ashes. I can't validate, but I believe VT was one state that took up the issue of being buried on private property. The school I teach in was on a former cemetery. The bodies were dug up and moved somewhere else. China has a very large population and cemetery land is being reclaimed for second uses. The government is encourage people to consider 'green funerals' such as cremations and burial at sea. The whole area was once a rural village. Traditional Chinese want to be buried in their traditional hometowns, so many want to be buried here. Where do they bury them? Along the median strip of the boulevards under the electrical towers. Last Christmas, I saw one burial right out side the school gate. Coffin and all, along with one guy digging a hole and the other lighting off firecrackers (the ever preset firecrackers). I was told there was another funeral yesterday. You see mini cemeteries along the roadside. Walk along the road and you'll probably bump into a grave. Maybe I use part of my ashes as a growing medium for my pachys or pachypodium rosalatum!...See MoreDoes anyone feel especially sad at the holidays?
Comments (30)Is anybody else on this forum the last remaining family member due to a recent loss ????? If so I could really use some advice on getting back on track!!!! It's especially hard for me now, I had a small family to begin with consisting of my mother, older brother and me. We all had health problems but moms and brothers were the worst and I was caregiver but lookin back I feel I could've done better. We lived in a condo together and turned the downstairs into a hospital bedroom for mom until she started having frequent mini-strokes and had to have 24hr. care, then her cancer returned and took her in 2004. While it was tough I had my older brother Mike 58 to console me Mark 54 but we both grieved constantly, after all we were all we had left except for our kids and Mike's were kind of far away and didn't care to visit because of his cirohsis and they didn't like seeing him that way (geee) Mike's cirohsis got much worse and we fought to get him on Johns Hopkins Liver transplant list,but after taking all tests we didn't hear anything back from them after making many attempts. My brothers ability to walk with his walker now was seriously in jeopardy now and I was in a constant state of denial and when I got flashes of his passing I got mentally upset and lost my ability to deal with the my caregiving duties until I gathered myself. I couldn't face the possibility of my brothers death and me being completely alone so I blocked it out totally. That weekend I was helping him back from the bathroom and he stsrted talking and not making any sense and after several attempts he managed to tell me to call rescue, but I remembered the last time this happened he responded to me when raising my voice and kinda snapped back but it didn't work this time, my brother fell into coma and passed 2 weeks later. He was so much to me because we lost our dad when I was 11 and he was 15 and I looked to him as father figure and then we became work partners and later to become growing old together until now. He was always there for me and we both realized we were all that remained from our deceased parents and tried to console each other but he always seemed to keep calm where I had anxiety and he calmed me down. I am totally by myself now and feel like I am loosing it because I feel I should've paid more attention to those feelings I had that Mike was nearing death instead of blocking them out, I should've had him re admitted back to the hospital even though I had just brought him home a week ago. Then He had a few good days to make me think he wasn't getting worse and the back and forthness of this disease drove me to the brink and I would find my ability to deal with his next downturn almost impossible because that sinking feeling of the worst reality that my brothers death returned made me want to knock it away and made me lose my temper knowing I was loosing the battle. Since his passing on October 18 I constantly have feelings of guilt like something I did or didn't could've prevented his coma and I keep replaying it over in my mind constantly, and the constant solitude is neverending, but when I try to go outside I feel like the "Stranger in a Strange Land" and hurry to get back home where no-one is. I agree with the other poster that this is the worst year of my life and after 2 1/2 months since my brothers passing I can't tell if I am making any progress in my grieving because being totally alone it's so hard to tell. I saw my kids for a few hours for a late Christmas visit because they always visit their mom and her most recently divorced husband for the holidays first, and I could tell they were slowly getting bummed out by me and my problems but I guess I have to try and pretend I feel alright. I am sorry for everyones losses and I hope the New Year is a better one and I thank you for listening and welcome any and all responses. Sorry for the long read Mark...See MoreAnyone here have anemia ? I hate feeling like this.
Comments (32)Find out the root cause. Maybe you also have thyroid issues? Hashimotos? Check your cortisol levels. Maybe your thyroid isn't working properly due to an immune disorder? So many health issues caused by the thyroid not working properly. Also, the celiac issue, mentioned above could be the reason. Try gluten-free, dairy-free (as it mimics gluten), Soy-ree, sugar-free, grain-free diet for a while. Do an AIP (Auto-immune Paleo diet). But get checked by an integrative doctor or a well-informed Endocrinologist. Most MDs and Endos do NOT know enough about the thyroid and you'll be banging your head against the wall in frustration....See MoreDoes anyone feel like a New Year 'Old Rose' Quiz...
Comments (11)No, you didn't miss it, Vaporvac. I'm so sorry to have to let down anyone who was looking forward to it, but unfortunately I've been unwell (I have severe ME/CFS) which the brutal summer heatwave we're in currently is making even more challenging. The neuro-cognitive impairment aspect of the ME means I simply can't think properly in the particular, somewhat more complex ways, including doing computer-y things, necessary to organise the Quiz into its final usable form. In the midst of this, an urgent need for online advocacy has recently arisen - an issue that could radically affect the lives of people with ME in Australia and around the world for years to come - and this has been taking and will continue to take almost all my energy - what doesn't go into the bare basics of survival - over the next few weeks, in order to for me to be able to make my contribution before the deadline. (We sort of 'run on empty' most of the time in a state of permanent physical, mental and even emotional exhaustion because the mitochondria in our cells can't produce and replenish energy in the normal way.) So, my apologies again to you and others, but it looks as though this is going to be one of those fun projects I so often just have to 'let go'. It's both frustrating and embarrassing to offer something and then to not be able to deliver, but since it happens so often, I did put in that little disclaimer about not being able to guarantee I could do it....! So, thank you, Vaporvac for asking about it, and maybe we can do it later in the the year, circumstances permitting... :-)...See MoreD C
