Ain't that some 💩 😄⁉️

Choose peace. Choose happy! Anything else shouldn’t even be on the menu. These bags of chips filled halfway with air for $6.40 at Walmart is one of my biggest worries. 🥹 Like, WHY 🤷🏽‍♀️?
no matter what’s going on 😬💜🎼

I don't have a wife but if I did, I'd hug her, too! 😄 💀

About to happily wipe my arse with some ALL-WHITE “toilet Tisha” because WWWWHHHHYYYY do I remember this?

I learned of her fate in February 2011. Birth her April 2011. She was gone September 6, 2011 but could’ve lived a little longer. Blame and guilt. It’s lessened but still present.

Anticipatory Grief: Knowing My Child Is Going to Die
Written by Clara Hinton
One of the most silent griefs in all of child loss is one that clinicians call anticipatory grief. Putting that in terms we can better understand, it is knowing your child is going to die, but not knowing how to handle the pain. It is also looking to the future death of your child and attempting to play out in your mind how you can prepare for this moment that no parent should ever have to face.

A brief article such as this can never do justice to the magnitude of this grief, but we will attempt to give some thoughtful suggestions on coping skills for getting through this anticipatory grief.

We are people made to function with hope, and even when given the news that death is imminent for our child, hope will invade our every thought. Allow it to! Hope gives us the courage and the mental padding we need to make it through the exhaustion and stress caused by this heart-wrenching type of grief. Preparing for the death of a child is almost an unspeakable task!

Don’t think too far ahead because when dealing with crisis situations and terminal illness, the prognosis can change almost hourly. Think one day at a time. Then, when you have that in handle, allow your mind to think a week in advance. Thinking months in advance is too much, and you will often encounter grief burnout and a deep, paralyzing depression as a result.

Family disruption is a fact. When a child is terminally ill, normal family life as we once knew it no longer exists, and we are now faced with creating a new normal that involves knowledge of medication, trips to the hospital, daily emotional changes, financial strains, and learning medical terms and treatments. Seek help when dealing with all of this. Do not travel this difficult journey alone!

Seek the help of others for the day-to-day activities that must continue. Friends and family members want to help, but they don’t know just what to do unless you give them guidance. Find someone that can volunteer help with daily activities such as cooking, laundry, and taking care of other children that live in the home. Be a list maker and designate the help of others to do tasks that will take precious time of yours away from your child. By allowing others to help you, they can share in your grief, too, and become a strong support system.

Most important of all is to take care of yourself. This might initially sound selfish, but it is imperative that you take care of yourself so that you can have the daily energy it takes to get through the grief of the day. You are not made to function without replenishing your emotional state and your need for rest. This double grief will deplete you very quickly if you don’t make provision to replenish yourself daily. Eat nourishing foods, drink lots of water, and take frequent naps. Take a walk, a soak in the tub, get a new haircut – do something just for you minus any guilt. Replenishment is a necessity and not a luxury.

Finally, remind yourself often that when you make it through one day, you’ve taken one very big step forward in your journey of grief. One day at a time, one step at a time, and you will make it! With the help of your family, friends, clergyman, hospice care – you will receive adequate support to get through the deep grief you are facing each and every day!

I’m really never gonna have any children who look like me 😢.

"You’re going to realize it one day — that happiness was never about your job, or your degree, or being in a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you, it was never about being like the others. One day, you’re going to see it — that happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go.

was always about being kinder to yourself, it was always about embracing the person you were becoming. One day, you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that happiness was never in the hands of other people. It was always about you. It was ALWAYS about YOU."

I just knew this time would be different.🪴

A new month has arrived; my fave. It’s mid-year, summer is weeks away, possibilities seem renewed. What’s behind us is done. What lies ahead is up to us & greatly depends on our choices, our focus and being intentional with positive progression in our lives. I wish each of you an abundance of peace, joyfulness & restoration for this month, the rest of the year and beyond. 🌻🐞🦋💜🦀♋️🌺

Where do you NEVER want to travel to again?✈️🛳️🚙🛻🚆

Sincerely, 😂

It’s unfortunate that people try to “SHAME” you for renting instead of minding their financial business. There are “well-to-do” renters who simply don’t want the commitment or responsibility of home ownership.

Thank you, Strangers. 💜
