I'm not trying to be morbid. I just am the one in my husband's and my own family that often has to deal with such matters. The fathers in both of our families are/were not healthy, and one actually died last year, so it was fresh in my memory.

I actually just awoke from my nap to a text of my brother in law being in the hospital due to an infection in the hand, lol. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

I'm okay, but thanks.

To me, everything but actual death isn't that big of a deal. And even then, it took about a week for me to recover from death. Maybe when it is my mom, or if it is my husband or my upcoming child, I'll be different, idk.

It might not be a big deal to me, because we have really good hospitals in the downtown area, which is like less than 20 minutes from me. So far, they have a really high percentage rate of successfully treating all my loved ones. :) And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Doctors make judgement calls on if they do or don't want to do surgeries all the time. My own grandma shopped around for a doctor that would say yes to a very risky surgery (several doctors did say no and she had insurance). Idk if you were generally speaking or talking directly to me after my post, but I didn't shop around for a doc to say yes to a surgery, because I didn't know I needed a surgery.

Umm, I would want them to have the ability to function in society after a week of me dying, yes. I'd prefer it if they took a shorter time, particularly since most companies only offer 3 breavement days. I have actually already told my husband that I would want him to find another after I die and have made several preperations for when I die.

Idk I don't view death as an awful thing. In the case of my father in law, he was on a ton of drugs and alcohol and he gave up on life after his wife left him. We were at the hospital with a serious issue, like a heart attack, about once a month, so although his death was sudden, we all knew one of the heart attacks or other complications would kill him. That might be why it took a week to recover. Of course, there was a ton of emotions to handle after that, but I was functional after a week.

And, I believe we were talking about turning people away, idk. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

I can understand him not being a fighter, I guess. When my mom was on life support for 4 days & the idiot docs were nagging to take her off of life support, she woke up. Later that day, she walked out to the nurses' station & cussed them out.

My family doesn't drink or do drugs, so idk anything about that. REMOVE SILVERHAWK BOOTS FROM RUNESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know about drink. It's caused some pretty bad problems with the family, and a lot of us are alcoholics. Thankfully I was lucky enough to not be one myself, and haven't had a drink since May 2015. I don't really want to either.

The thing is, drink screws the mind up completely. Judgement and reason goes out of the window and basically all it does is cause more problems than you need. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

That is an epic momma, wow. Seems like she stared death in the face and just laughed.

And idk, he just existed. He was seeing a therapist, but he never did anything other than do drugs and drink. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Alcoholism runs in my family as well. And congrats on staying sober, it is actually a big deal. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

How does one give up on life? I know a bit about depression too. That's actually worse than death; I've seen people who went around like there was absolutely no meaning in their life. And in life, I've seen a lot of stress and the kind of trouble that would make any ordinary person go insane.

This is most of the reason why I'm quiet and don't want anyone to get hurt. When people get hurt, it causes a spiral of hate and ends up creating even more pain, sometimes to the point where life isn't worth it. Sometimes I blame myself for everything, but I'm going to try and make as many people happy as I possibly can. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!
