Praying for your healing and for your heart and mind to be at peace.

Amazon has some heated steering wheel cover options.

To deal with Raynaud's on a daily basis at home, I purchased (3) extra large heatings pads from amazon which cost approximately $20-25 each. I keep one on my office chair at my desk area in the kitchen, one on my spot on the couch, and one on my bed. As soon as I settle into a particular spot, I turn the heating pad on the lowest setting, and as soon as I feel my hands starting to get cold, I place them on the heating pad I'm already sitting on. I cover the heating pads with a hand towel and switch the towels out with clean ones twice a week or so and wash/air dry the heating pads as needed. I also purchased a 12-volt heated car blanket that can be plugged into a cigarette lighter to use when in the car. For me, the key to making sure my hands (and feet) don’t get too cold and then start to hurt is using the heating pads/blanket regularly. It does require me to pay attention to my body temperature, but if I stay on top of it, dealing with Raynaud’s becomes easier for me. Hope this helps. Ymmv.

I have landed on giving pretty dish towels in a cute gift bag. Everyone can use a dishtowel and most of us won't splurge to buy a holiday set. I've found very nice two piece dish towel sets at T.J. Max, Home Store, etc. stores for $10.00 - 14.00. I recently gave a cute set to a 25 year old young lady and a more sophisticated set to a 50-something lady. They both seemed happy with the gifts. No scents, allergies or fussing to put in a vase.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

May you be at peace and comfort as you grieve your MIL. As others have said, thank you for sharing her story. We desperately need to hear the stories of women like your MIL. May we be inspired to live as she did.

I've thought about this. How about having BEAUTIFUL "call cards" or business cards made up to hand out that say..... Mary Jane Jones 123-456-7899 maryjane@email.com New friends welcome ~ No MLMs 🙃

I'm so very sorry for your loss. The loss of a faithful dog companion and friend under any circumstance is great heartache, but to not have time with your dear dog to say good bye and the other things that need to be said, that is a terrible thing. Be kind to yourself as you grieve and settle into your new normal. May you find peace and comfort. Spy Car, I was unfamiliar with the poem you posted. I was crying pretty hard by the end of it. I dream of my dear Herbie, gone 10 years now, on a regular basis. He is part of my story and my heart. I'm grateful we live in a world with dogs.

I've been on the forum for years and though I visit almost daily, I rarely respond besides laughing at things. I've been following your thread and praying for your family. I just have to say, I'm proud of your husband and how he is engaging with his siblings as everything is falling apart. Good for him and good for you. You have been the definition of loving support to him through this hard season of life. Your online fan club is cheering you and your husband on!

Though I rarely post, I've spent time here on a regular basis through the years. Ottakee, I've learned so much from you as you've shared about your journey. Thank you for sharing. May the Lord's bless you and your family.

When I started homeschooling 17 years ago, the warehouse and used curriculum store weren't open, so when they did, I was SO HAPPY. I am very grateful for them.
