Pet lovers who have no family, friends, or human of their own can attest how they grieve to the extreme, how they feel empty, and what a huge loss they have. My mother is one of them. Aside from losing his dad this year to a massive cardiac arrest, her constant companion and therapy passed away before Christmas. Based on my observation, she is more hurt when her fur baby went to the rainbow bridge in December 2020. She joined Reddit and the Ontario Pet Loss Support Group. To her, our pet is not just a dog. He is her too, her family of which I agree. The bond, companionship, unconditional love, genuine friendship, and protection our gave my mom are amazing. So I fully understand that after eight months, she is still in immense grief, depression, and emptiness.

We cannot avoid leaving the world behind when the time has come.
In any way, we must be ready and never be afraid when we all
consumed the time we just borrowed. Live the life we deserve.

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to your brain is interrupted or reduced. This deprives your brain of oxygen and nutrients, which can cause your brain cells to die. A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) or mini (mild)stroke, occurs when part of the brain experiences a temporary lack of blood flow. It is a brief interruption of blood flow to part of the brain that causes temporary stroke-like symptoms.Unlike a stroke, a TIA doesn’t kill brain tissue or cause permanent disabilities. Since symptoms of a TIA and a stroke are nearly identical, you should seek immediate emergency attention if you experience any symptoms like vision changes, trouble speaking, confusion, balance issues, numbness, weakness, tingling, muscular weakness generally on one side of the body, an altered level of consciousness, dizziness, passing out, an abnormal sense of taste, an abnormal sense of smell.
People with TIA may temporarily find themselves unable to speak. After a TIA, people may tell their doctor that they had difficulty recalling words during the event. Other speech problems may include trouble saying a word or understanding words. This condition is called dysphasia. In fact, dysphasia is sometimes the only symptom of a TIA. Trouble speaking indicates that the blockage or blood clot that caused the TIA occurred in the dominant brain hemisphere. Sometimes, it manifests as a particular visual disturbance known as transient monocular blindness.

| Be Brave During Tough Times |

Courage is being defined as the ability to do something that you know is difficult or dangerous. While the definition is true, it lacks the substance of emotional and physical struggles that are necessary to truly embody the word bravery. In order to overcome tough times, one must build courage that is bigger than their fears. It's not easy to acknowledge and revisiting tragedy can be overwhelming, but admitting what causes you to be afraid of is the first step to succeed in dealing with those obstacles.
You have to recognize that revealing your true emotions is part of the healing process. It is also important to believe in yourself and what you stand for. If you believe that you're bigger than the problem, then you will build the strength necessary to face your fears. Being willing to take risks and confront what threatens you is a huge step that you have to do so never allow your bad days to define who you are or what you're capable of doing.

| How to Cope When Life Gets You Down |

Life's daily hassles can really blow our mind. No one said the road is easy. Once we can accept that we can't control everything around us, it will be better down the road. When we take tough times to heart, it will make it harder to bounce back. Use this as motivation to tackle the situation from another angle. Our potential actually increases when we are disappointed or hurt. Sometimes life is a soul crusher if we are truly honest with ourselves and with others. There is little sunshine when we are hit with multiple dilemmas. It makes sense that we might be feeling pretty down but we can shine a spotlight on any inner gloom or tragedy by pressing on and digging both heels into the hope that this bad time will also pass.

Inside the mind of a mentally fragile person

Being down in the dumps is no easy. It can take over a person completely by distorting their thoughts, feelings, and overall well-being.
They always say, "I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything." "I don’t want to get out of bed." "I can’t motivate myself to go to work." "Nothing sounds appealing anymore. Not even my favorite things…" "Let me spare you the trouble, I’ll be out of your way soon."
"I ignore the phone, emails, and the door." "I don’t want to leave the house." "I feel fragile, weak, and tired." "My anxiety is through the roof." "My head hurts terribly."
"I find myself drowning in this darkness trampled by constant, troublesome thoughts. Feelings of loneliness and abandonment, I feel no one even cares."
When the depression hits, it is mean and nasty. It is crippling. During a major depressive episode, the world can literally seem like a dark place. The depressed person may believe loved ones are better off without them. Nothing seems comforting, pleasurable, or worth living for.
What was challenging feels overwhelming; what was sad feels unbearable; what felt joyful feels emotional agony.
If we’re being totally honest, the people who fight depression and its symptoms sounds like the opposite of weak. That kind of fight takes major strength.

Randy VanWarmer who was born on March 30, 1955 reached the peak of his short lived career with a lovely ballad he wrote in 1979, "Just When I Needed You Most." It reached No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1979 after peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart earlier that year. He was inspired to write "Just When I Needed You Most" by a devastating breakup with a girlfriend, he wrote the song six months after. VanWarmer attributed his single's success to empathy for its heartbreak scenario: "It's happened to everyone. That emotion is universal...I always hoped the record wasn't wallowing in self-pity..."
Randy VanWarmer died of Leukemia on January 12, 2004 at the age of 48.
JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.
But I miss you more than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most.
Now most every morning, I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me.
'Cause I need you more than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most.
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.
Now I love you more than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.

Taste of Manila brings the culture of one of Toronto’s biggest immigrant communities to the rest of the city. The Philippine Cultural Community Center and the Philippine Consulate General host a street festival highlighting Filipino culture and cuisine. The event is slated to close down Bathurst St. from Laurelcrest Av. to Wilson Av. from 12 a.m. on Saturday (August 20) to 12 a.m. on Monday, with dancing, live music, street food and the “world’s largest boodle fight.”
From 60 vendors in the 2014 inaugural festival to 170 vendors in 2015, Taste of Manila has proven to be the Filipino choice event to showcase food, crafts and merchandise. A whopping estimated 180,000 to 200,000 people attended last year and it will surpass these data today and tomorrow.
The biggest Filipino fiesta in the largest city which is Toronto is in n cooperation with the City of Toronto, the Toronto Transit Commission and the Toronto Police Services. Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Ontario Premier will attend this Saturday.
Both the 160 Bathurst North and the 7/310 TTC bus will divert west at Wilson, north on Wilson Heights Boulevard and east of Sheppard Avenue West before continuing north on Bathurst.

Discernibly, these are the things needed for any long distance affair else it will not survive. I know everything about my beloved Issa and vice versa, no wonder we clicked and our love for one another grows stronger more and more each passing day.
This is my promise, sweetheart ...you will always be the apple of my eyes, the light in this world, the love of my life, my everything.
