Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am new to the site, just found it a few weeks ago and have been trying to read posts. I live in Pittsburgh, PA and am looking forward to being able to get to know you all and help offer support to others if I can.

Hi, I just found this site today and have spent most of the day just reading posts. My aneurysm ruptured 3 months ago. I was very blessed to be near an excellent hospital and one of the top neurosurgeons in the country when it happened. I am doing very well and hope to return to work in the next few months.

Busy time getting the house and family ready for you to be gone.
Write lists of things.
Don’t forget to have you will up to date - then you won’t worry about it, because it’s all done.
A 13 year old and 15 year old can take turns in cooking for themselves, and need to be included in the daily household chores.
Then concentrate on relaxing.
Closer to the date arrange a different person to visit you on each day. The more different people who come, the less reaction there is to not knowing.
Also fill an ipod with your favourite music, so that you can listen to it afterwards. Chose the music very carefully so that it won’t trigger any sad memories. Fill your days with upbeat, happy, joyful music. It’s a treat, and it really works.
Best of luck.
