I’m so very sorry for your loss…however, there’s absolutely NOTHING WRONG with having a really good and long cry every now and then…just sit down somewhere and just let it all out. It is good to keep your mind active and to have HEALTHY distractions, but you do not ALWAYS have to be strong. Losing a loved one hurts to the very CORE of our souls, so having someone who you can be vulnerable around, is great. But if you don’t feel like you have a person in your life like that, please don’t feel silly (or like something is wrong with you if you feel a crying jag coming on at an inopportune time; just let those feelings (whatever they may be; hurt, anger, fear, guilt, confusion, etc) OUT. You might be surprised by how much BETTER/LIGHTER you feel afterwards. I know it’s probably a lot easier said than done, than done, but PLEASE do not EVER attempt S🌸🌸C🌸🌸E again; it’s NOT worth it, nor is it an answer!!! We love you!!!

Paris Jackson, daughter of the late pop icon Michael Jackson, has revealed that years of drug abuse left her with a perforated septum and lasting facial damage. The 26-year-old said the condition developed after years of snorting substances in her early 20s, describing it as a period that “ruined my life.” Paris said the damage, which left a hole in the tissue between her nostrils, caused significant physical pain and emotional distress, leading to multiple corrective procedures. "I have a really loud whistle, you can hear it when I breathe through my nose and that is because I have what is called a perforated septum," she said. She also reflected on her long struggle with addiction, depression, and self-harm, saying the experience has pushed her toward healing and recovery.

The 6 words that changed my husband’s fate

When my husband’s routine hip surgery spiraled into a nightmare, I felt lost in a maze of medical jargon and rotating doctors. It took a stranger—a hospital rabbi—to quietly say, “You can request a different hospital.” That simple advice gave me the courage to demand a transfer, leading to the team that saved his leg and his life. It’s wild how one compassionate voice can cut through the chaos and empower you to speak up, even when you feel powerless. Has anyone else found their voice in a crisis, or had a stranger’s kindness change everything? #Health #BodyHealth #PatientAdvocacy

You are stronger than you know you have I have been through so much all you can say Thank you God for bringing me through this storm I'm happier now thank you

Gut Health Saboteurs Lurking in Your Kitchen

You won’t believe these four everyday foods could be wrecking your gut! Experts say supermarket bread, fried foods, sugary treats (looking at you, ice cream), and even some vegan cheeses are secretly tough on your digestive system. The main culprits? Heavily processed ingredients, sneaky sugars, and gut-disrupting additives. If you’re struggling with bloating or tummy troubles, it might be time to rethink what’s in your grocery cart. Who knew your “healthy” bread could be the problem? #Health #BodyHealth #GutHealth

I was a newer RN grad of 1.5 years. My patient was a man in his 70's, diagnosed with cancer. He was my very first DNR patient, and seemed to be in fairly good condition at the time. But when I went in his room to check on him, he was having trouble catching his breath. Death seemed imminent. I uselessly grabbed a nasal cannula and hooked it up to oxygen, as I slowly watched him dying. It was a dumb move on my part - without the drive to breathe, oxygen wasn't going to do anything. But it was all I had available, since he was DNR. He passed within 3 minutes. I was devastated by the need to bring him back, but legally unable to. Folks, if you think RN's don't care - we do! I've thought of him often in the past 30+ years, and I can't help but feel that I let him down. I'll never forget him. He did have a peaceful passing, but I wanted so badly to save him. Guido, I will never forget you.

Health Care Jobs Are Hitting Pause

Health care hiring isn’t the sure thing it used to be. After a post-pandemic hiring spree, hospitals and clinics are slowing down on new jobs—thanks to federal budget cuts, rising costs, and AI automation. Even roles like nurses and physical therapists aren’t immune. Some hospitals are laying off staff, and new grads might think twice about pricey degrees. With the demand for care still high, will this slowdown make it even harder to get an appointment? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthcareJobs
