Last year during #BellLetsTaIk I was trying to come to terms with the fact that Michael was dying. Today I'm trying to navigate life with my grief as a 20-something widow and no one knows how to handle me so here's what you need to know about grief
@hankgreen I found that most trials were so particular in their qualifications for patients that it was hard to get the chance to participate. A lot of patients I knew would apply to several trials hoping to get approved for something
People don't know how lucky they are to see their kids grow up. I would give anything to do that. They don't know it's lucky to get to go to work every day , even if you hate the job there is always hope you can change it. They don't know how lucky they are to retire one day and spend time with the ones they love. To have holidays with family and friends - even if it's simple and you don't have a lot of money every moment is priceless every moment is priceless to a dying person who will not get to do those things again. Ordinary lives seem so ordinary that people crave more but getting to live the most ordinary of lives looks like heaven from a hospital bed where you lie waiting for your life to be cut short. Please remember that. Material goods are worth nothing compared to what time with loved ones are worth.
@LibbyMbc I remember sitting in the hospital and bargaining with the universe. I literally would have done anything to have the mundane parts of life come back. To go to work everyday, to buy our own house, to have a normal day to day life with my husband. I so so hear you 🤍
I look forward to NHL players releasing statements on not wanting to wear camo jerseys for military appreciation night bc they don’t support colonization or war crimes
