Gosh the news today is focusing on the parents big time........Mrs McCann interviewed 11 hours today..and tomorrow is Gerry's turn....apparently some DNA evidence has come to light...gosh this is just awful.........
Gwen Stefani..is a singer..used to sing with No Doubt..married to the dreamy Gavin Rossdale...formerly lead singer of Bush..probably not your taste in music Murray...but she does quite well for herself..
I know all about pain..both from watching family members die of cancer or neurological disease...and my own more personal pain experiences...one of which I am currently experiencing a flare up of.....and has really been serious.....I think this is a very tough question........but you cannot say until you have walked the road of pain....on my mum's last day.....the nurse refused to give her morphine for pain because she said it might suppress her breathing......no concern for her pain relief but covering her butt lest there might be cessation of breathing...needless to say.....I bypassed her and called my mum's doctor and said I would give her the pain med if needed....however that was not needed another nurse came on shift and gave it.....my mum calmed considerably....had a few last clear words with us all..and passed away peacefully after a brutal battle with cancer......
I do think its important if you are in a province with a health care directive and you have strong feelings about what you do or don't want do in terms of prolonging your life in such situations thats you ENACT a health care directive on your own behalf.......
great choice Jen!! also reminds me of another Bryan Adams song...with the guitar ....mmmmm what is that song called now..I am blank....kinda spanish/flamenco guitar music in it...
I have been doing some more reading today about this.....apparently the Neurology expert that Chris Benoit's father has allowed to pursued studying his brain post-mortem..is saying steroids are iffy in this case...but more likely cause of brain damage evident is repeated brain injury....apparently repeated concussion and brain shattering is likely the cause...this again speaks to this in professional sports happening repeatedly...ANYHOW! it is very sad
When a person reaches the point of contemplating suicide or homicide it is a really desperate place to be.....I encourage all to take this seriously....sometimes people put off things as "a cry for attention" but it must always be taken seriously whether it is your own thoughts or the thoughts of a friend or loved one..always always taken seriously......
I wish everyone well who struggles with thoughts of self-harm.I see this all the time in my work..and truly there is help available..no matter how hopeless life seems or can seem..there truly is help available.....
Actually visual exams of slices of Chris Benoits brain matter reveal areas of "dead" brain matter.....grey areas appear under microscopic exam....simliar to appearance of a brain of an individual with dementia...causes of death of brain cells differ...but resulting personality changes occur...his is likely related to long term steroid use....especially in the frontal part of the brain that controls mood and impulse control....and that is often seen in individuals with dementia also...a normally calm person changes into a violent aggressive emotionally unstable individual...very very sad indeed....however hopefully this will be a huge wake up call for professional sports...to address the issue of steroid use.....I find it bizarre that Barry Bonds is being given the actaully Home run record..when its very clear he has used steroids for years.....
I think there is alot to be learned as yet .....in all the toxins in our environment and how that is affecting our mental health...did you know the number one reason people in North America see their GP or seek ER treatment is related to mental health issues? The same stats occur in the UK.......I think that is very interesting and needs to be explored further....
Yes, absolutely, 100% without a doubt yes, I find a great deal of comforting in praying....its a release for me....and especially in situations that feel out of control.....or that I cannot do anything about..or feel I cannot do anything about......and also helps me keep an attitude of gratitude by praying for thing I am greatful for....and for blessings to those I care about....
I am here.....and read the forums alot...I just have been ill the past few weeks...and energy is at a minimum to reply .....but trust me I am very much here..and praying to be back at 100% soon....
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, hold your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!
And stands by you when life hands you illness and pain.......
