I want more time

Grief is a teeter-totter
Grief can't seem to make up it's mind
Grief has a million different colors
One minute I am fine... moving through my day like I always have... and then something will trigger me... and I cry...
I find myself curled up in a ball on my couch
I feel very child-like and sometimes a little alone
Even though I know I am not
I am reminded
AGAIN
How much time I wasted
I so badly want a do-over
I want more time
I want more time
I want more time
And then there I go again... cleaning my house
watching tv, making something good to eat
I even laugh and sometimes I smile
I might take a call from a friend... I might choose not to
I know I am not alone
I know others have been through this
This isn't the first time
It won't be the last
As I grieve the loss of someone I love
I remind myself to smile
I go back into my heart and pull out a memory
Savoring all of its beautiful parts
And then I tuck it away... safe... for later
As I know I will need to go back there again
Often
I want more time
I want more time
I want more time
I am not alone
I am sad... but I am not alone
And that comforts me
Grief is chaotic, and crazy, sometimes moody, and it is also...
the reaction we feel when we lose someone we love
Maybe I like grief... just a little...
Because it reminds me that I was gifted love
And I love... love
A lot

🌟 Achieve Radiant Skin Naturally with Acupressure! ✨

Healthy, glowing skin starts from within! Use these acupressure points to promote better circulation, detoxification, and balance for your skin:

🔸 GV24.5 (Yintang):
Located between the eyebrows. Helps reduce stress and promote relaxation, leading to a healthier complexion.

🔸 ST2 & ST3 (Stomach Points):
ST2: Below the eyes, near the cheekbone.
ST3: Under the cheekbone, in line with the nostrils.
Both points improve blood flow to the face and reduce puffiness.

🔸 ST36 (Stomach 36):
Found on the lower leg, about four finger-widths below the knee cap. This point enhances digestion and detoxification for clearer skin.

🔸 B10 (Bladder 10):
Located at the base of the skull. Boosts circulation and reduces tension for a rejuvenated appearance.

🌿 How to Apply:
1️⃣ Use firm but gentle circular pressure on each point for 1–2 minutes.
2️⃣ Focus on slow, deep breathing as you work each point.
3️⃣ Repeat daily for best results.

✨ Incorporate acupressure into your skincare routine for an all-natural glow!

We called upon the South Central New York Binghamton Nurse Honor Guard team to provide the Florence Nightingale ceremony in honor of a deceased nurse.

The family was deeply touched by the service - as were the many retired nurses attending the funeral today who had no knowledge of the existence of this ceremony or the group behind it.

Thank you nurses !

This is a big story for a Friday night, but that's kinda the point of the story - life and death happens every minute of every day and services need to be resourced to meet that fact.

Wanting to honour her patient, Oncologist Ranjana Srivastava writes for Guardian Australia, "We must fund palliative care better."
