On Tuesday, March 1, 2016, I attended a presentation led by Jeanne Bishop, author of Change of Heart, in which she discussed how she was able to reconcile with the murderer of her sister and brother-in-law. Throughout the presentation, Jeanne Bishop described in great detail about the murder itself and the process it took for her to forgive the murderer, David Biro. She expressed her thoughts and feelings with passionate emotions, causing me to feel and see how difficult her hardships were in her perspective. I personally felt that I could definitely relate because I have a younger sister as well. Bishop elaborated that her sister was an expecting mother, had a wonderful, bubbly personality, and that she had an exceedingly close bond with
For me healing was a process that began with trust. Those four years had stripped me of my trust. I simply did not trust
I’m going to share an experience I had. Something that I’ve regretted and hated myself for since, knowing that help could’ve been sought earlier. A few years back, I was catching up with a family member and noticed a faint bruise on her face. Naturally, I asked her what had happened but she just brushed it off, told me it was nothing but a sport injury. Weeks progressed, and the bruises became worse and worse, but I stop questioning. To me, she still seemed the happy go-lucky girl I knew and loved, the only difference were these markings. But let me tell you, sometimes the people who seem happiest, are actually hurting the most. And this was exactly the case. Flashforward a few months, and her partner was being trialled and charged under the case of domestic abuse.
Wild horses of Asstatuge live in Maryland. Asstatuge is an Island so the horses are shown in water. The horses on Asstatug Island survive from each other. Asstatuge's horses are herds of horses so they do not have an owner. That's why they are called wild horses because there don't have an owner.

For instance, it is vital to treat the affected individual as a whole person. One should also take the history of an individual into consideration and the necessary coping mechanisms (Withers, 2017). It is also important for one to accept individual differences that may exist within patients. For example, when dealing with an individual affected by substance abuse, trauma-informed care should be the one that acknowledges that people may use substances such as alcohol, or drugs as one way of surviving trauma. This is because without thinking from this perspective, medical practitioners will not be able to assist the involved individual. Another example is when dealing with victims of rape. Some of the victims of rape may not show emotions as a way of coping with the trauma involved (Withers, 2017). Therefore, when dealing with that case, it is important to consider what the individual might have gone
I chose Bingham Academy because my mom wanted me to go here and it's it's a public charter school. I am not attending another school because I don't want to and my mom does not want me to. I chose Bingham Academy because it's a small school, there's not very many people attending, and there's a higher chance of people actually learning instead of being told what to do all the time, like most other schools we go until three twenty five or later, in our case, we go until three fifty. Bingham Academy is an open campus as well.
Eventually Tammany Hall’s grip over New York City plummeted when Fiorello LaGuardia became Mayor in 1933. LaGuardia had been an outspoken critic of the prohibition of alcohol, but he was passionate about enforcing illegal gambling laws. At that time, New York City’s slot machines generated roughly $180 million a year in profits for the mob, but under LaGuardia’s direction the NYPD confiscated thousands of slot machines. In fact, he once held a press conference as he threw several of the “mechanical pickpockets” in the Atlantic Ocean. LaGuardia took such a strong stance against gambling that he managed to have pinball machines banned. As a result, New York police officers confiscated and destroyed over 3,000 pinball machines. Again, he held
The school i chose to research is florida university. I chose this school because it has great programs and they have all sorts of majors to choose from. And they also have where you can wait four more years to start on that graduate degree. Even if you're not ready. , and they also have a good softball team. I feel like this school will benefit me in many ways not just in sports but also in academics. With this campus i feel like it's welcoming to others. But also you don't have to worry about this campus. I feel like it's chill. And you don't have to be worried about it
I asked her who hurt her and she said it was Tom Robinson”. This piece of evidence is useful because she was so positive and she didn’t change her answer today she’s clearly in her right mind.
Patients who are experiencing a life challenge or have experienced loss of any sort may it be loss of body image, body function, mental function, health, and loss of independence goes through a grieving process. Depending on the circumstances of the loss, grieving can takes weeks to years to overcome. They must first become aware of their loss. They must grasp the fact that their reality has changed, then they may become numb or tearful or even angry. Some may internalize it while other may express behavior uncharacteristic of themselves and their previous personalities. Having sympathy for their loss and encouraging them to start reconstructing their life can be
It seems like she thought I didn’t know what was going on or I wasn't letting it sink fully in. “You realize this is serious right?” She had asked me again and again over those days but in this particular instance it felt like she was giving up. It felt like she was trying to make me see what she saw, that my sister may have come into this hospital but she wasn't going to be leaving healed like all the other times she had spent nights in the hospital throughout the course of our lives. She wanted me to realize this before it was too late to make sure I was preparing myself for the worst. Prepare for the inevitable moment where the doctors finally admitted what she had already realized, that Jennifer might not make it through this
A well-known author once said that hurt people hurt people. Likewise, in an individual’s life, when an untimely and unwelcome situation occurs, they feel angry and hurt, and can even act gleeful when someone else gets wounded and suffers. When Billy stayed in the hospital, he struggled to process the thought that he emerged permanently blind from the operation room. “‘Are you feeling better now?’ I heard the blind boy ask me, and I turned and looked at him… I was very worried about you… and I want you to be very careful about your eyes.”(45). Even though Billy experienced pain and hurting, he was far more concerned about consoling the people in the hospital ward, making time to ensure they were healthy and doing well. While most people feel
The next visit was a couple weeks after, the overall vibe was different. The vibe from walking in, her parents, the nurses…something was different. I couldn’t figure it out, and I didn’t figure it out until I got into Hunter’s room. I walked in to see her standing there, waiting for me with a warm and bright smile on her face. My smile grew so wide my cheeks hurt, and tears of joy ran down my cheeks. I ran over to her and pulled her into a hug, and for that moment, everything instantly became better.
Experience in clinics, hospitals, and especially hospice has taught me that without knowing the implications that contribute to the way someone might act or feel, it is common to naively underestimate the true impact of a situation. One example that comes to mind occurred when I was a volunteer in the emergency department of a hospital. A man complaining of intense pain had been admitted to the ER with a broken arm. Soon after that, a teenage girl in tears was also admitted to the ER with a possible fractured ankle. After assessment, it was determined that her ankle was simply sprained and would heal in a matter of weeks. However, this young lady seemed to be much more distressed than the other patient. When the other patient overheard that her condition was not severe, he asked her “Why are you acting like it’s the end of your life? You should have seen what happened to me”. However, the young lady was not suffering because of her ankle; she was upset that she would be missing the remainder of her prom. Although the young lady was not physically hurt as bad at the other patient, she was much more distraught because that night meant a great deal to her. This put things into perspective for myself as I learned that the surface of a situation does not always tell the whole story. Applying this to other aspects of my life, especially when aiding individuals suffering from dementia, has changed how I perceive others. This allowed
