Paula,

I just saw this. How tragic it is for you and your husband to have to go through not only the death of his brother, but all the pettiness that has come out in regards to the funeral.....

Sending you as many strength vibes as I can muster up! Hugs to you and your hubby....

Take care,

Karen

Im sorry your struggling with his family, we are still dealing with my grandma's stuff and its been almost a year. I do know they bury people in the winter as my grandma was buried in December. Is there a way you can get a payment plan since others arent willing to help? I know our local funeral home gives payment plans for families.

Thanks everyone, we made the arrangements to have him buried in 3 weeks, we made the arangements for the memorial and burial, we called the bank to get the money. we had everything planned out. Then the sisters got pissy and said no we wont do it til the spring, so we were like ok fine, we will wait til spring. Well now they dont want to bury him. This is what they want cause they dont want to spend money on the burial(which we were paying for in full) and now dont want an memorial in our hometown for others can say there goodbyes. They also told hubby he could pick the date for the memorial cause we are supposed to get a major storm on friday. Well then they called and said it will be thursday and friday. They keep calling now and hubby is just refusing to answer the phone. cause we are done with their lies.

Hi Paula,

I just wanted you to know that I am so sorry for all you are going through. We had a similar situation when my husbands Dad died 3 years ago. The hospice nurse told us it was so common for families to have big problems and become bitter over the death of a family member. It's sad, but so true. My husbands brother and his wife stopped speaking to us when they found out my husband was executor of his Dad's will. My children still ask me why they can't see their cousin. It's very sad.

Anyway, I just wanted to send some extra hugs to you and your husband. I know how difficult and draining this situation can be.

Take care,

Joni

I just wanted to thank you for helping me get threw all of this and for listening to me cry and vent. We will be buryuing him this spring with another memorial and big celebration of his life. this holiday is going to be so hard without him, we are trying to get into the spirit but it is so hard to do. I did do a little memorial here for him, i got wreaths and big bows and put their names on the fence, of all the people we have lost this yr, i put one for my neighbor we lost, my grandma i lost, my bil, mil and my grandparents, it looks very nice and it is bringing us some closer in the whole matter.

But now that im starting to think straight i wanted to thank you all again, i could not have made it without all of u to listen to me.

paula

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
