thatonekid Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 My mom just got fired..... :( *super ehugs* ♥ Who watched Glee tonight?Diva-off! But as soon as the one man Bieber band (or whatever) was created, I was tempted to turn Glee off. Not a fan of the song choices (except for the singing with the kids. Too sweet.)

Cerena Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Bad and good news today... A family member died at age 53 of a heart attack... this is really shocking to everyone, he was so healthy. And I was just talking yesterday about an 80 year old who I met yesterday who was incredibly healthy. This is so messed up. Why does this happen? Why can a 50 year old die of a heart attack, out of nowhere, while some live much longer? I don't get this, it's really sad. On the other hand, I got fantastic news about starting another research project after this one is finished. I don't know what to think right now... very shocked, sad, angry... trying to focus on the positive, but I guess it will take some time. Every time I've dealt with death, it seems to strike out of nowhere... life is way too short, nothing is ever going to stop me from making the best of it while I'm here.

GGGSaint Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I hateeee lifeeeee... gf broke up with me a few weeks ago... And now the semester is getting busy and I can't do anything So brutal Sorry to hear that, hang in there bud. I had a pretty emotional break up at the end of my 1st year (around this time actually). It sucks but you'll have to work even harder to stay focused on school. Don't want to regret letting your hard work go down the drain because of the break up. Finish the year strong and *then* enjoy your summer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 In cases like that I always tell myself that my futur career is more important thant whatever is going on in my life at that moment.

Death is hard to deal already. Death of someone far younger than average life expectancy is much harder to stomach. A teammate of mine in high school also ran with a private track club in her down time. Her coach was also quite young (early 50s, I believe) when he died -in the middle of a run - because of heart enlargement related complications. If life was always fair and predictable, it wouldn't be worth living, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two times I had to deal with it, it was my dog (passed away when she was 7 during the night, perfectly health though) and one of my friends (murdered by her father, it was surreal). Thanks for responding though It's something I'm going to have to try and deal with the next little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange123 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ahhh! I want to read "Power up your brain" by Dr. David Perlmutter. I'm waiting on TPL to order copies! They're at 0 copies right now. Hmmm, or I could just buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for responding though It's something I'm going to have to try and deal with the next little while. My advice is to pay the proper respects and not to dwell on it. All 4 of my grandparents died in a more or less two year time frame; so or a while...there seemed to be looking up or things getting any better. I was struck especially hard when my grandfather (who pretty much raised me) passed away due to stage 4 lung cancer ON MY 17th BIRTHDAY (what a nightmare!). I was a wreck for a month and everything suffered - relationships, school, athletic ability and drive... etc. Don't let that happen to you. And don't be afraid to seek support and find someone to talk to when you're having a bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2MD Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Cerena, you have the right attitude. Live through the feelings and as mm88 said, talk if you need to. You'll see that life will take its course and you'll be back to your excited, postive self soon. Sincere condolences. ...life is way too short, nothing is ever going to stop me from making the best of it while I'm here. Thx Karma...

Cerena Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 C2MD and mm88, thanks I'm trying not to let it affect me.
