@Katerintree @living_wgrace Omg yes. Thank you. I tried all kinds of alternatives before going on hormonal BC & my symptoms are now tons better. I researched & prayed &found a hormonal BC I was comfortable ethically (ie no abortifacients). The BC aspect is a symptom of this treatment, not the intent.
@DrJoshMadden In the Wichita, KS diocese, Catholic school tuition is covered by your parish if you are an active member. Tithing/stewardship is seen as similar to paying taxes for public school attendance.
@that1mum it’s still very much affecting my life today. love your people &don’t rush their process. Grief sucks &it’s exhausting to be someone’s ear while they’re grieving, but if you’re really their friend, then be there for them as they’d be there for you. Hope this helps.
@that1mum for those around you. I don’t know if you ever really stop, I just know being isolated because you’re too “sad” for your friends doesn’t help. My therapist said that repressing my grief and not dealing with it is a major cause of my anxiety so even tho that was 7 years ago (3/)
