Hi JPR – Am so sorry to you are going through this. It’s understandable to feel regret or guilt when caring for a loved one with cancer. You’re not alone in these feelings, and it’s okay to acknowledge them. Remember to take care of yourself and seek support when needed.

Comment on My Mom’s Unnecessary Cancer Death… and why I Will Always Have Regret by JPR https://diggingdeep.org/moms-unnecessary-cancer-death-will-always-regret/#comment-189 Sat, 13 May 2023 09:44:41 +0000 https://diggingdeep.org/?p=12689#comment-189 Hi, thank you for this piece. I found it while searching for intersections of lung cancer, caring for a loved one, and feelings of regret/guilt over not acting sooner / noticing earlier signs.

Comment on Dispelling Diabetes Stereotypes by Anthony Green https://diggingdeep.org/breaking-diabetes-stereotypes/#comment-173 Fri, 06 Aug 2021 08:23:59 +0000 https://diggingdeep.org/?p=12634#comment-173 I know this article is from 2017 but just thought I would comment anyway (as I often do!) as I found this article informative. I love the focus on your own struggle with diabetes but how you point out that it’s not your lifestyle that caused it which is such an important point that folk forget Jenn. But the main focus I like (apart from the importance of World Diabetes Day of course) is the point about children and how people need to think about how they deal with diabetes etc. Really thoughtful and easy to read piece and great as I am researching childhood diabetes myself so some real thought points to digest. Anthony.

Comment on The Day I was Treated Like A Drug Seeker by CJ https://diggingdeep.org/the-day-i-was-treated-like-a-drug-seeker/#comment-171 Tue, 27 Jul 2021 05:10:01 +0000 https://diggingdeep.org/?p=12902#comment-171 I have to agree with the original poster. Doctors and nurses need to look past the med list. I’m on a long term opioid due to a medical error of all things- and had an ER visit this week due to severe dehydration and kidney infection. I was sick and in pain. The first thing out of the docs mouth was “are you here for pain meds?” No! I’m here to be treated for my symptoms. But because she only saw the opioid on my chart I was given an oral zofran only. I really needed IV fluids, maybe some pain meds in the iv due to the nausea and vomiting. But since I got none of this I was sent home with continued nausea, vomiting, fever, pain and dehydration for the next 48 hours. I wanted to go back and get fluids but didn’t want to go through that kind of treatment again.

Comment on The Power of Assigning Meaning to a Memory by Anonymous https://diggingdeep.org/the-power-of-assigning-meaning-to-a-memory/#comment-170 Mon, 14 Jun 2021 17:39:57 +0000 https://diggingdeep.org/?p=15547#comment-170 Thank you for this article. I had a similar experience with my mother abusing my little sister. I was 7 and my little sister was just a toddler on the first incident and it absolutely traumatized me, as did the subsequent moments of abuse. I was expected to understand my mother’s behaviors and as the oldest child, take the pressure of parenting from her by watching my siblings while she slept off her rages. I will be 50 soon and am only now beginning to feel like I’m in charge of my own personal narratives. I love how you expressed the way you choose to parent differently. I feel the same. Totally not a perfect mom, but man. I KNEW I’d never parent like she did. Behaving differently has been healing in itself. It is brave of you to share your story. I appreciate it. Thank you.
