Re: The Vent Thread
I don't know if I want to "get over it" honestly. It's kind of the only real emotional connection I have to him. I don't know if this is an odd concept to anyone else but I feel like the more "at peace" I am about it, the more I lose? If that makes sense.
I do find it quite surprising how many people I know, mostly from the org honestly, who have lost a parent at a young age. It's a sad thought that it's more common then I imagined.

Re: The Vent Thread
My dad passed away over 5 years ago and it still hurts a bit because he was one of the strongest people I knew.
I still wonder how things would be if he were still around. His old company just closed down recently and he either would have easily gotten a new job or making plans for retirement.

Re: The Vent Thread
I feel the same way, but I always remind myself that to keep moving forward is best. It's good to learn from our experiences, but people are people and you are who matters most to you.Iron Solari wrote:It doesn't matter how much you post, it doesn't matter how much effort you put into things, it doesn't matter what you do, because you can't impress everyone.
You can't make everyone happy and you can't force anyone to acknowledge the things you do.
You also can't force people to accept you into the group when they hardly know you.
You can only sit back and hope that some time, in some place, they understand.
This applies here, there, and anywhere. Sometimes you are what is considered "Nothing special" and therefore should be ignored, but know that I, and others, are people as well.
We feel just as much as you do, so know that sometimes your words cut like daggers.
Sorry to be such a downer in the vent thread ^^

Re: The Vent Thread
I think losing a parent especially if you are young would be very difficult. I just hope that I am able to be there to help when that happens to me. Also being a parent, I seem to dwell on leaving them behind. I just couldn't imagine and am lucky to be 30 and still have mine in my life.
But, I would hate to be put in a nursing home.

Re: The Vent Thread
My mother passed away 25 years ago (I was 6)... I've encountered many deaths both family and friends since then.
I think when people use the term "get over it" they really mean more along the lines of "make peace with it" because I don't think anyone gets over it. I've moved on, and came to accept death as a natural part of life, but missing my mom still effects me emotionally I think. I too wonder how different I would be if she had lived.
I haven't had counseling for it aside from the therapist I saw just after she died. My dad thought we needed it. Most I remember of it was colored chalk and everyone got to be X's in Tic Tac Toe, and driving under the "Rainbow Tunnel". The counselor was in San Fransisco.
Everyone has to deal with death in their own way I think.

Re: The Vent Thread
I seem to have developed new allergies. They don't give a damn about the Claritin I take every day. They make me feel like I'm getting really sick. They also make me suffer more if I even try to have caffeine.
EDIT: on second thought I think I might actually be sick on top of all that. Wonderful, just in time for the weekend.

Re: The Vent Thread
You may need to upgrade to Zertec or Allegra. I moved from Claritin to Zertec last year on recommendation of my alergist and haven't had any of the seasonal issues I normally have.BasharOfTheAges wrote:I seem to have developed new allergies.

Re: The Vent Thread
Slipped on the ice while going down the stairs the other day. Bruised up my back pretty badly and it's making things very uncomfortable to say the least :/ I had slipped on the top of 2 steps. The top step got my middle-ish back and the bottom got my lower back right above my arse, plus I jacked up my left arm trying to catch myself. Sitting up and moving around is fucking hell right now, regardless of how much medication I take, and of course, I freakin' work at a job that has me sitting at a desk for 10 hours a day. Combine that with the fact that Org Editor is due on Sunday night, I am in a woooorld of hurt right now.
People keep making comments about my butt because apparently if you slip that automatically means you fell on your ass. God, I WISH it was my ass because I'd just sit on a god damn pillow and go about my bidness.
'Scuse me while I fucking take a nuke to Jack Frost's face for being a massive dick. This is not what I wanted to deal with right now :/
