Within a few weeks Mark s Cousin is getting married. Mark has been asked to be in the wedding party. I have never met the rest of his family and had hoped to do so at this wedding. His Mother however has demanded that he attend alone since my presence would upset her. Mark has agreed to go to the wedding without me.

My advice is to get some professional help and Stop trying to push yourself and your child into a family setup where you Are clearly unwelcome. Dear Ann Landers. A a. I was touched by �?oj.w., Burnsville whose father slept at the Hospital while her Mother was a patient there. I have a similar Story with a different ending. It raises a question that perhaps you can answer. Is it possible to die from a broken heart my parents were married for More than 50 years. My Mother has alzheimer a. We had to put her into a nursing Home because it was apparent that dad was completely worn out taking care of her. On the Day i drove mom there my father asked if they would allow him to move in with her so they could be together As they had been for 50 years. I explained that he was not ready to be in a nursing Home but he could visit her As often As he wanted to. I then moved him into my Home. Four Days later dad was in the Hospital. He died within a couple of weeks. He had been in fairly Good health until then. It is my belief that he died of a broken heart. Is that possible an opinion from Minnesota dear Minnesota its not Only possible its More than Likely. The will to live can be a vital Factor in recovery. When that Force is not present it is entirely possible that a person can die. 1 have always believed that there is a great Deal of Validity in the body mind connection. C creators Syndicate a please be on the Lookout for your pizza once its ordered. Turn on a Light so your address is visible at night. Have an adult present to pay for the pizza. Also lock up your Doberman pit Bull terrier German Shepherd Etc. Elaine in Baltimore dear Elaine Grazie for the suggestions. Dear Abby i was Happy to Sec that piece in your column warning your readers about bringing valuables jewelry when they Check into a Hospital a even for an overnight stay. In be been an in for 12 years and i am still amazed at the stuff people lug into a Hospital. Some come in with loads of suitcases for a weeks stay. One woman brought All her diamonds and hid them in a Pillowcase which almost got thrown into a hamper. Only last month a Man brought his life a savings of $100,000 in Cash. Luckily an observant employee spotted the stash and called Security to place it in the vault for safekeeping elderly and confused patients Are most vulnerable. I have seen patients throw wedding rings and hearing aids in the trash cans.
