Hello Grayson! I don't think anyone is intentionally ignoring you. We have all written posts that didn't seem to get any response. It can happen for lots of reasons. For instance, i had to go back and search for your post that the others were replying to. I just never saw it earlier. The time or day of the week that something is put up can also make a difference. And sometimes folks just don't think what i posted is nearly as interesting as i did, lol, and that is fine, too.
peace&love
@bright-opal, I am so sorry. That's an awful lot on your plate. I will pray for strength, support and divine guidance for you and your family. Please continue to post here when you feel the need; you're going through a rough time right now.
Too-ti Luv is a beautiful name for your sweet bird. I hope that she will be a source of joy and comfort to you.

I have a friend with lymphedema and so I’ve read a little about it. It seems there is a certain massage that can be done like someone else mentioned. I understand your panic as I always panic when told I might have a problem that I fear doesn’t have a solution. Please get all the info you can to lower your anxiety and find treatment.
all the best.

I feel like I'm always being ignored here and I don't understand why... :(
@grayson - I know that for me, sometimes I get overwhelmed trying to reply to each person in a thread, sometimes I just direct my comments to the group at large. You're not being ignored, if you feel you are, I'm sorry to hear that. We support each other here, and I accept your critique and will try to do better in future. Sending you peace and light.
Is there someone who is there for you right now as it seems you are there for so many others currently in their time of need?
2 thoughts about your accident prone niece. 1- Does she need glasses? Has she ever had an eye exam? 2. Perhaps she is not "present" and needs some help learning how to be in the present moment.
Art Therapy might be a great thought for both girls. And Laughter. Fun and laughter work miracles.
Do you live near any of the people in your life that you just mentioned?
I am sending everyone ( and you) peace, hope with lots of love.
I should do more art therapy with my girls. God knows I do a lot of that myself, I should have thought of that. I try to make my niece more aware of the things she is doing and how it can work against her. I wonder if she is not doing self-sabotage...
I need to work on the laughter and fun aspect of our relationship. I babysit them often and since they began seeing their mom again, they are having behavioral issues. I need to adjust my responses to them. At least they feel comfortable enough to talk to me.
I've been in contact with my brother this am and he is looking for psychological help for the girls. He is taking this very seriously and will be talking to the children services about this. The problem is that he wants his girls to have their mother so much, and it breaks his heart to have all this happening.
I live close to everyone, we are close knit but we respect each other's space. We all have major issues. My father also has cancer (slow moving) and major heart issues. Ans his diabetese is out of whack.
So yeah, I have a full plate. But I'm able to compartementalize, I know have zootherapy going and I'm looking for a psychologist to help me through the rest. I have some friends but they are dealing with a lot as well. But this forum is a tremendous help to me. Thanks to all of you!
@bright-opal, I sense you are helping the girls more than you know. You are a loving, stable force in their lives. Speaking from my personal experience growing up, that goes a long way. I am a senior, and even now I vividly remember those people who provided that love and stability back then.
Love and blessings to you.

I know several veterinarians personally and one of my children worked as a vet tech. She was often asked to help the pet owners through the trauma of being part of the process of lowing a beloved pet cross the rainbow bridge after passing.
She was also part of the presenting to the owner, a special momento in honor of their pet. She spent as much time as needed listening to their grief and stories about their pet and helping them know that little one lives on in their hearts . Perhaps, as one way to honor your loss, you might gift yourself with a little momento that reminds you of that little companion.
One of the things vets often share and that I always do with my friends is to simply suggest that I have found that anytime you are ready to love another pet and be comforted by them as a companion, is a good time to let another little one into your heart.
Many people get new pets as soon as they see one they love and find it doesn't lessen their love and memories of the one that has passed but reminds them that love never ends and gets stronger and stronger the more we share it with others.

HI Grayson, I actually responded to part of your question in the Introduction to Tarot Section of the Forum here wondering what kind of cards you use. I would love to chat with you about that and about anything else on the forum ? You touched my heart to the point I couldn't sleep without thinking of you last night because I have felt and felt like you at various times in my life. I hope you will have the time to respond since I'm truly interested. Sending you love & light!
PS: I'm a Pisces and used to read for people on a line many years ago. I gave it up because I lost my "ability" after my dear friend/'sister' passed away in 2011 who was my mentor... I actually stopped meditating and doing the line. Cards then were only used to help me feel things over the phone for others but I never memorized their meanings the way expert tarot readers do. I'm trying to do them now and get back into it.
This brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful suggestion and way to connect. Sure hope you take her up on this @grayson
Sharing of interests and special gifts between any of us is the perfect thing to share!
Love to you both and all who connect with this thread ?
