#helaena targaryen #is today the time for my rant about how actual bereaved parents and autistic people can and will see what you’ll say about her? #probably not #but rest assured it’s coming #house of the dragon

there is no justice. even if the world cries about all of this years later what use will it be??

#palestine WILL be free. but who will soothe the pain of bereaved parents and orphans #what does justice for them even look like? what possible thing can alleviate pain THAT immense?

[ineedfairypee]

Who is it really helping?

Not those who need it most that’s for sure

I've been a bit quiet recently. My mum suddenly passed away last month and it was a huge shock. She hadn't been ill and was relatively young, having only retired last year. My mum was a single mother raising 2 kids without any financial support from my dad, and managed to send both me and my brother to university where we both got masters degrees. I know how immensely proud of us she was, especially with us coming from a deprived area and there not being big expectations for kids of single mums.

She had to work several jobs to keep food on the table and never complained, and never bad mouthed my dad (even though I made up for that as an adult); she just got on with it. I'm so happy that I was able to bring such happiness to her life with my kids as she relished in being a nanna, and loved having them to stay every weekend.

I hope she knew how deeply she was loved, and continues to be. The world is a much duller place with her gone 💔

the funeral went smoothly. there was so many people that turned up for the service, and still a good chunk of people who went to the burial service.

it was hard saying my final goodbyes, both in privacy and at the burial site. i had my hand on his casket for what felt like an eternity. 2 of my friends stood with me, hugged me as i cried (again). we watched from the distance as they lowered the casket into the vault. ironically, i saw a video about this on saturday so i knew what the cemetery staff were doing. i felt comforted knowing my nephew was in good hands.

i did get irritated—mainly at my parents—halfway through the luncheon and at home. let’s just say my family takes their teasing on me way to far but i am not allowed to be upset because they’re “just joking” 🙄

i’m just tired now and popped some ibuprofen, so maybe my migraine will go away. still simmering because of my parents’ audacity, but it’s whatever at this point.

#Mads makes a text post #a former boss of mine showed up to the funeral! #I was surprised #2 of my friends came #and 1 of them was NOT happy with the comment my parents made about me #like not to dive into the drama #but why would you make comments about someone’s eating #when they are also bereaved??? #and not that this matters but it’s not like I ate or eat a lot anyway #sighs #bereavement

Spoke to someone I don’t know over the phone, 11 dead, 32 injured

#I’m all flowery on here but in real life conversation I am the driest most uncomfortably pragmatic person alive #I’ve been scolded for being so task-focused that I forgot to say hello to the secretaries in high school when I went to do a task #or for having an “attitude” with my parents (often when I was purposefully trying to appear humble with an “idk” voice) #so I’ve amended that by fake laughing at everything and keeping my customer service voice on All The Time #0/10 it works flawlessly but I’ve also made myself into a socially anxious doormat #I’ve been the one to break it to people that their friend died on more than one occasion and I always feel bad about how I do it #I usually just blurt it out because I don’t know how to lead up to it other than saying “maybe you should sit down for this” #it would be wrong if I knew and didn’t tell them #so it has to be me… you know? #I’m so disconnected from any feelings of grief (I’ve never felt bereavement in my life) that it feels wrong for it to be me #because I’m physically incapable of sharing in their pain and emotions; I literally don’t understand it #but sometimes I’ll cry reflexively if I see someone else crying even if I don’t have any actual feelings for them or their situation #I’m more disturbed by knowing of people who are alive going through pain than I am by knowing someone died #because death is natural; suffering isn’t #unless the person is a child or otherwise very young #but if they’re old and lived a fulfilling life I recognize they’ve had a fulfilling life and hope that my life #is as fulfilling as theirs was when I go #I’m not afraid of death; I’d just like to not go before I’m good and ready #When I go away I hope that I WANT to go away; you know?

Christmas Music

I like Christmas music, as long as it doesn't swaddle me to death as it wraps up a story of a little bitty bitty baby! Why?

First, those "Loo-la, loo-lay" songs tend to have dull or unsingable parts for altos like me, while the sopranos (and tenors) soar - sometimes TOO high.

Second, as twice-bereaved parents, we find anything about babies that coincides with our boys' birthdays and anniversaries more emotional than you'd expect. If you have never experienced the pain of losing a child, you can't imagine how that pervades your life! I hope you never find out!

Finally, I believe the Christmas story is richer than a "baby is born" story. It is the story of God becoming human; nothing less than "The Incarnation." Traditionally, I've conceived this as is stated in the first chapter of the Gospel of John; "the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Since joining the New Mexico Black Lawyers Association, and having been honored to have been chosen as our third Vice President, I am actively seeking a metaphor that doesn't equate darkness with negative connotations.

All Things Fragile

All things fragile....

Bubbles floating in the air

Popping as they hit tiny hands

His grandmother's carnival glass pitcher

He handles with care

Classy China used only at Christmas

She flung at her ex when he broke her

Granny's porcelain collectible dolls

Must be loved gently in her memory

The Venus flytrap my husband gifted me

Killed by gluttony and small hands.

Opulent orchids sitting in the windowsill

Needing to be watered carefully

...All things fragile...

Newborn infants crying for care

Demanding love and nutrition

A heart full of love

Craves love in return

An anxiety-stricken soul in despair

Yearning for hope and peace

Devouring depression demons

Desiring comfort and happiness

A mother in mourning

Begging God for her child's return.

A husband weeping

Lamenting his wife's loss.

All... beautiful...fragile Flowers

Longing for tender loving care.

by Joshua Mills | It will not always be winter, though it may be a long and dark winter. On that final Day, “the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings” (Malachi 4:2). In the meantime, you must meditate on the goodness of God, even when we do not see it. I do not know why...

Everyone wants to prevent suicide but no one actually wants to talk about it

Everyone is sorry for your loss but no one wants to hear be around grief

Everyone is there if you need to talk but no one listens when it matters most

Life Update My Dad..

Hello my lovelies I’ve been missing in action for some time mainly due to being ill myself and in between the failing health of my dad. Sadly there was a number of health issues which crept up on us all as a family. Before we knew it he was admitted just over a month ago to hospital. He was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and dementia and while home for a few days he was readmitted to…

I had the biggest melt down today (was forced to wrap presents after my nephew’s services…who thought that was a good idea???) but I watched the new PJO series so now I’m chill

#Mads makes a text post #bereavement #oh I SOBBED #it was so terrible #I was frustrated #I thought about my nephew #and I was furious that I had to do this today #I wanted to do it BEFORE all this #but my mom’s process wouldn’t allow me to do that #and she just told me to do it today when my parents were out #like fuck you guys #why do y’all think wrapping gifts the day after my nephew’s funeral was a good idea???? #I also hate wrapping gifts so this also added to the stress #and then the final kicker for me to scream how much I hated everything: #I pinched the tip of my finger in #**on a stool!!! #sighs everything sucks

Rabbi Leo Dee responded with dignity and wisdom after a Palestinian terrorist murdered his wife and two daughters. He asked for April 10 to be remembered as Dees Day, encouraging people to make the world a better place. He spoke powerfully against the moral equivalence people make between terrorist aggressors and their victims. He discussed how he and his wife, Lucy, “value life over anything else”. That’s the difference between Rabbi Dee and the terrorist savage that devastated his family. Stand with Rabbi Leo Dee against the evils of terrorism and Jew-hatred. Don’t defend the terrorist or his supporters.
