Maybe if your dick didn't smell like fish

A hospital in my area recently did a fully mechanical heart implant, the first in a female patient. It's new technology, but impressive nonetheless. I would hope you could be considered a candidate for such a device, since you have had chronic organ rejection.

Story

What kind of strength exercises/routines do you do? Almost-EMT but I'm gonna pick up some technical rescue training with the FD when I can.

We just lost my little brother to suicide less than a month ago. He was struggling to find happiness and was hurting after the end of a relationship, but we never expected him to take his life. He shot himself in the master bathroom of my parents' home.

My mother is understandably traumatized, but she also is often asking the why and what-if questions. Whether she was a good mother, if she could have changed things, what she might have done differently that morning. Lots of questions that, frankly, we will probably never know the answer to.

The issue is, these questions keep her in a state of mind that doesn't allow her to move forward. And she's trapped herself in a mindset which resulted in inpatient treatment for severe anxiety in the past worrying herself to death.

How can I nudge her away from that place and those questions? How do I help her grieve in a way that helps her heal and begin to move forward?

My parents are speaking to counselors and participating in support groups, yes. I just wanted to know if there was anything I could do, personally, to help her accept that she's not to blame.

Thank you.
