Hi! I'm Kat I love vintage jewelry. Thought I'd add something personal. I started Posh to escape. I was the primary caregiver to my beloved husband. It helped me, looking listing and shopping. I lost him January 2017 it's been difficult Posh helps me escape! It’s been 2 years since I lost the love of my life! I still miss him so much, but I’m trying to move forward. My theme for this year in thankfulness, I am so thankful for the incredible marriage we had. The memories we shared keep me going!

mjacobszem Glad you noticed the bracelet. FYI The reduced shipping in dropped price items ends tonight. I'm putting it back up to the period price after that. Happy summer!

May 30Reply

riverpeeps Your welcome love your closet. I'm new so I don't know exactly how the reduced shipping works. I made an offer on something and the shipping is still 5.99.

rlynn1127 Hi Kat, I wanted to let you know I received the Fitbit today. I'm charging it up, before I rate and release payment. But I do have a question for you ... are you a smoker because the black band smells like cigarettes ? As soon as it is fully charged, I'll rate & release.

Sep 21Reply

riverpeeps @rlynn1127 no I'm not, but I know what you mean the gal I bought it from must of been. Since I didn't like the rubber band anyway I didn't care. If you haven't tried the magnetic bands I think you will like them far above the rubber band.

Sep 21Reply

riverpeeps @rlynn1127 I bought the two magnetic bands from Amazon.

blackleocat Hi Kat...in reading your summary I sympathize with your loss. In 2013 I did the same thing. I had been taking care of my mother for 7 years the lasdt of which as a shut in with her. That is when I discovered Ebay...and did the same as you have done. God bless you Kat...you will heal and there will be a day when you will be able to think of him without having to cry. Sincerely, Stephanie

ctrwriter5 Hi Kat J and thanks for visiting my closet. Because all my listings are brand new items please know I don’t practice accepting bundles.. if you are still interested, all of the items you selected received a 5% discount on top of their already. 50-75% discounted pricing. Thanks for stopping by!

Feb 10Reply

ctrwriter5 Because I see that you are already an existing valued customer I applied a small discount as added benefit,

Feb 10Reply

riverpeeps @ctrwriter5 I’m sorry, again I didn’t remember when I read your bio! I appreciate your kindness and will remember that from now on. Everyone does the bundling so I just went ahead...again the pearl necklace goes with another one my husband bought for me. The pearls he bought me are a bit smaller, but color and quality are the same. They look beautiful together yours is a tad longer so they look beautiful when I wear them together!😘

Feb 10Reply

ctrwriter5 Hi Kat: many thanks for your great feedback and continued customer patronage. I know I am a small % minority of sellers who sell only brand new merchandise, not used on Poshmark so I don’t mind sharing this info and reminders until customers like yourself become avid followers. 😉 I will ship out to you on Monday since my post office is closed for today. Am so happy your pearls match the earrings from your husband 👍. Thanks again!!

blinghill Kat - I sent you an offer on that ring. Feel free to counter.... I read your profile and it brought me to tears. I am sorry for your loss. I spent the last 3 months care-taking of my 96 year-old Grandmother-in-law. Although it’s an entirely different scenario, I understand the feeling of needing an escape. Care taking can be bitter sweet; feelings of love, combined with despair, exhaustion, & sometimes guilt.

Jun 12Reply

riverpeeps @blinghill How sweet you are! Thank you for your personal words. Caregiving is the last act of deep love you can give to someone, but it also takes a toll on your heart. I’m still recovering some days are better than others. The loss is indescribable and doesn’t get easier, but I’m trying to manage the daily grief this site helps distract me. I buy some things i keep and enjoy others I resell often not getting my money back, but

Jun 12Reply

riverpeeps It’s okay because i have enjoyed it. Sounds crazy, but it helps! Thank you for your kind words, take care of yourself.

Jun 12Reply

blinghill @riverpeeps I totally understand your need to distract. I think you are being proactive & it can be a creative & positive way to use your energy. Many people in similar situations fall into a state of depression, however, you’ve found a way to keep busy and productive, which kept you from falling into a dark & destructive path. You are a strong and resilient woman and I have much respect for you.

Jun 13Reply

blinghill @riverpeeps 2) Your story found a place in my thoughts. I have thought of your situation numerous times today, so you’ve made an impact on me. God bless and stay strong.

Jun 13Reply

riverpeeps @blinghill ☺️ thank you.

melissalarcher So sorry for your loss ❤️. I’m dealing with it with my dad currently. It’s very hard. I admire your strength.

Jul 13Reply

riverpeeps @melissalarcher it’s hard losing someone who has been such an important part of your life. I can only imagine what your going through.

Jul 14Reply

melissalarcher @riverpeeps my dad is still alive but he has dementia and a really bad heart. In May he underwent heart surgery again but they said it didn’t work that it’s getting weaker. It’s just a matter of time I think. He’s 75 so we just try to appease him and be happy that he does remember who we are so far. 💕

Jul 14Reply

riverpeeps @melissalarcher yep that is difficult as you watch them deteriorate. Those memories of that time, I hope fades because they still haunt me sometimes. Being there is the best gift you can give them! Take care of yourself😘

vtgcovergirl How are you feeling this week? I started out with an abscess and now I think I have the flu...

Dec 05Reply

riverpeeps @riglem65 I’m glad it arrived safe. I’m okay, getting stronger and so tired of this walker. I can’t complain I’m in the home stretch! Yeah that flu is going around here big time. Take care of yourself.

Dec 05Reply

riverpeeps Tooth abscess?

Dec 05Reply

vtgcovergirl @riverpeeps I’m afraid so. I went to have it pulled and it was so swollen he said I’d have to be on antibiotics another three days, or else he couldn’t deaden the area. He said come back in four days. I got to the scheduling person and they tell me there’s no availability until February. 🤒😵🙃😬

Dec 05Reply

vtgcovergirl @riverpeeps I’m glad you’re remembering that you are in THE HOME STRETCH! So true! As far as my flu goes, I am never around anyone. I honestly think I caught it riding in the minivan with my dad. His wife has it... He took me to the dentist and by the end of the day I was 🤢

Dec 05Reply

vtgcovergirl I’m really struggling over that lapis of yours. Just so you know! 😂

Dec 05Reply

riverpeeps @riglem65 want me to hold it?

Dec 06Reply

vtgcovergirl @riverpeeps Well I’ve got the funds pretty much if you’re able and willing to offer the last offer again.

Dec 06Reply

riverpeeps @riglem65 let me discount it.

Dec 06Reply

vtgcovergirl Kat, we just had a huge blowout and she was so ugly towards me. Please don’t bother sending that piece. I appreciate it but if you had any idea what had happened here today you’d understand. You’re very sweet to offer though. What a difference a day makes... 😢

Dec 09Reply

riverpeeps @riglem65 hey sweetie, boy do I know how that feels. Take heart though, time heals, my daughter and I are doing much better, but I know I can’t trust her to follow through. I just focus on giving her mercy and grace. That helps me! Plus I remind myself to not have expectations! Take care, hugs❤️❤️

Dec 09Reply

vtgcovergirl @riverpeeps I know you do. I tried for I think the fourth time to let her live with me and save money. It never works. She’s nineteen, my youngest and just really hard.

Dec 09Reply

vtgcovergirl Thanks for the hugs... Needed a boost today. It was bad around here today. 😐

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq 😘

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Just read about your husband, praying for you and your beloved.

Mar 10Reply

sebq Oh, thank you so much. When we met he was playing for the Miami Dolphins and now he needs a new heart. I’m a Registered Nurse and although his parent claimed prayer healed him I knew better we had it corrected but it was too late and his heart has worn out. His donor has to be about 6’ 8” to match his size and that doesn’t happened everyday and I cry everyday💞🙏

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I so understand, miracles happen so be hopeful in the impossible because we have a big GOD who can do the impossible. In the meantime make every moment count with him.

Mar 10Reply

sebq It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever endured. Lost my whole family when I was small and married my HS sweetheart but he died. Then I met Sam and now this. How much more🤫

Mar 10Reply

sebq Thx for liking the pitcher. I found it in Boston

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq 😢 I hear you...

Mar 10Reply

sebq Thank you for reaching out. His name is Sam. You can mention him in your prayers. He’s such a good man!

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I think I’m going to buy it from you. I will keep fresh flowers in it until he gets his heart 🙏

Mar 10Reply

sebq We try and do that but he is so limited in what he can do. He has an IV that infuses 24/7 which I take care of. Thank God I’m a nurse bcuz it allows me to do things he would need to go to the hospital for. I have to bathe him bcuz he can’t get his IV wet and he just stares at me and says I never want to forget your face

Mar 10Reply

sebq Omg, I’m sorry I took so long to respond. I just broke down and cried and Sam got worried. I showed him and he hugged me and we both cried. That is without a doubt the nicest thing anyone has ever said or done for us without even knowing us. I am so touched I don’t even have words. Thank you for being an angel on earth and having such a kind heart. I’m completely at a loss. God bless you!🙏💞😇

Mar 10Reply

sebq As soon as we get the call I will let you know. We initially were told it wouldn’t take too long bcuz their are so many drug overdoses and shootings, sad but true, but then the dr hit us with not only does his blood and tissue have to match but he needs a large donor bcuz of his size and how enlarged his heart is. That is why it’s taking so long. Thank you again so very much.❤️💞🙏😊

Mar 10Reply

sebq I just snap shot your comment bcuz I started a journal the night I found Sam on the floor hardly breathing, 9/23/17, and I keep every appt, test, surgery etc in it and I’m going to print out your message to add to his journal. You are part of his journey now. Thank you Kat😇

Mar 10Reply

sebq I see you love animals as do I. I love all the ducks and squirrels where I live and when the community we live in set out traps for the fox or raccoons I set them all off during the night so they don’t get caught.

Mar 10Reply

sebq Btw, I most definitely would have offered you a discount had I realized b4 you purchased it. Thank you again so very much😊

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Oh my goodness, its a privilege to be part of your journey. I journal as well, I believe this is a Devine appointment, not a coincidence that we met here. I believe that God often places people together for many purposes. Your words blessed me! I was looking for a battery candle when I came across your sunlight. The reason I was looking is when I go to the coast with my sister, she also lost her husband in 2017, I take a candle with his picture, actually my sister and I both do.

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq We are getting away together for some needed time together and fun, she lives in San Diego so we don’t see each other as much as we would like. Give your Sam a hug and keep believing in that miracle!

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps I hate that they don’t allow many words here, anyway, I do love animals, mine help me with my grief.

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps Take good care of each other and treasure every moment!

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I would’t think of asking u for a discount, again, please know that it’s a privilege for me to pray for you and to be part of Sam’s story.

Mar 10Reply

sebq I too believe people are put in our paths as Gods will. I’m so glad He placed you in our path. Have a wonderful time and tell your sister I am so sorry she lost her husband. Sam asked that I thank you and says you are a God send. Thank you again and safe travels🙏

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq kiss 😘 🤗

Mar 10Reply

sebq Thank you for that so much and it’s an honor to place you in his journal. You remind. me that there still are good and kind people in the world. If you are going away will there be anyone home to accept the package?

Mar 10Reply

sebq Sam and I are so grateful for your prayers🙏😇

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq no worries, that’s not until June, my sis will be coming here to stay for a few days then we both are going to the coast together.

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq 😘

Mar 10Reply

sebq Is it your daughter you are going to see.?

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Actually my daughter lives with me here in Oregon, my sister lives in San Diego. She is visiting in June for a few days then the two of us will drive down to Newport Oregon for a few day stay in a incredible Inn, the Nya on the beach. I flew down to be with both my siblings on my first Anniversary without him. I didn’t want to be here. We stayed inCambria Ca where my brother lives. Us siblings had a great time together. We try to see each other each year.

Mar 10Reply

sebq How nice you have your daughter with you. Daughters are very special. I too have a daughter which I go further into detail in a card I enclosed with your vase/pitcher. It’s. Ice to be close with your siblings. I had an older brother who I lost when he was 34. Actually there isn’t longevity in my family. Dad died at 41 and my mom was 50. Bcuz of that I just pray God let’s me live long enough to see Sam well and just on follow up visits. Oregon must be beautiful. Always wanted to visit the NW.

Mar 10Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Yes, Oregon is beautiful. My daughter helps me around the house quite a bit. It’s good to have her here. You are very familiar with grief, I’m so sorry you have lost some of your family so young! It does strengthen you doesn’t it? Along with giving you lots of compassion for others. In our losses God gives us blessings as we travel through that wilderness. He brings comfort in the midst of our sadness. I’m glad to get your address, I will keep in contact with you.

sebq Thank you so much Kat! God bless you and your family and thank you so much for your purchase. I am very grateful but most of all I am so grateful to have met someone like you😇🙏

sebq So relieved to know it arrived safely and in one piece. Thank you so very much for your sweet words and 5 stars. God bless you Kat and again, thank you for everything but most of all for being you!💞🙏😇

Mar 13Reply

sebq Leaving the post up means more to me than you know. Like I told you prior to your receiving the vase when you told me you were going to keep fresh flowers in it until Sam gets his heart, moved me to a point I couldn’t even speak to tell Sam. I don’t have friends mainly bcuz when I worked my hours were so long and Sam’s were too so our time together was just us. You have been more special to me than anyone I’ve ever known I’m am eternally grateful to you Kat😇

Mar 15Reply

sebq Omg Kat, I just saw your purchase. I just lowered a bunch of prices for the contest Posh has today saying that if you lower by 10% and give shipping discount you are automatically entered. It gets sent out to all likes. I don’t know if you ever liked this or not but I’d like to give it to you at the 10% off. Can we cancel it and redo it so I can give it to you for $20. Thank you so very much Kat. I can cancel it on my end I think????????

Mar 15Reply

riverpeeps @sebq sure!

Mar 15Reply

riverpeeps This little sunburst is how we met and began sharing! You responded with a thank you to my like, i then checked out your closet! Amazing, right?

Mar 15Reply

riverpeeps That’s where I read about Sam and got this idea with the pitcher.

Mar 15Reply

sebq @riverpeeps YES, VERY AMAZING.....I didn’t even realize. However although I marked so many things down by 10% I got messages saying I’m not entered bcuz price not low enough and I think I know what 10% is... Some went though but others didn’t so apparently this one didn’t. I canceled the order and give me a minute to change price and then you can re-purchase it you like.. Thank you again😂💞🙏

Mar 15Reply

sebq Ok, bcuz it said sold I made a new listing with one picture with the price at $20.00 so if you want it still just re-purchase there. Thank you and nice to know you will have what brought you to us.🙏😊

Mar 15Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Yes, it will be nice to have it because of its significance now! Will post a picture next to the flower pitcher when the flowers need to be replaced. I have to say that my deep grief is always somewhat lifted when I think of Sam and you. The pitcher is in my family room where I do all my journaling and writing. I pass by it thousands of times on my way to the kitchen!

Mar 15Reply

sebq Thank you. It’s so nice of you to bring us into your home. It truly means so much. I look forward to seeing it there. Sam asked that I send you his love and give you a special thank you. For such a big tough guy he is so sweet and emotional which I love about him the most I think . ❤️😘

Mar 15Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Thank Sam, yes my guy was not afraid to shed tears, it’s what made him so attractive to me. He was very muscular like Sam, but as burly as he was in his prime years he was never afraid to share his emotions.

Mar 15Reply

sebq I just dropped it off at the Post Office .

Mar 15Reply

riverpeeps @sebq 😘

Mar 15Reply

sebq Been helping Sam with some things and giving his IV meds so missed your last message. Yes, I love a man that isn’t afraid to show his emotions. Sam is great that way. Steve was my brothers name and sadly my daughters husbands name.

Mar 16Reply

sebq I have bent your ear all day. I’m sorry but thank you for allowing me to vent. 😇💞

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Hey, don’t think twice about that, it’s my gift to you.

Mar 16Reply

sebq Thank you that. Yes, friends are important. I didn’t form friendships throughout school bcuz my mom was an alcoholic and I didn’t want to bring anyone over. I was the youngest of 3 but I was the caretaker of her. My brother left for the military and my sister who is much older is the spawn of Satan. I’m very happy Sam has his friends. They are all great guys. I actually would have preferred Tracy marry one of his friends than Steven.

Mar 16Reply

sebq Despite the age difference she would have been better off bcuz they are all great guys.😊

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I am the youngest of three also! My sis is 10 years older and we have become pretty close over the last several years. My mom had many mental problems, she always penned her children against each other. It took us awhile to figure that out after we were adults. She also lost her husband the same year I lost Steve. He had heart disease then developed lung cancer. Steve died in January 2017 Dieter died in October.

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps We talked every day helping one another cope. We checkin on each other to see how we are coping. My brother never married again after two failed marriages, but as siblings we keep in touch trying to see each other as often as possible.

Mar 16Reply

sebq We seem to have a lot in common. What did your mom have diagnoses speaking if you don’t mind me asking. My last two years of nursing I worked psych and I have to tell you that field is pathetic the way the patients are treated. The drs over medicate and admit as many times a year as the insurance will allow whether the patient needs it or not. I had one patient so over medicated she was unresponsive and foaming at the mouth... I told the dr to go in and look at her. Cont....

Mar 16Reply

sebq He refused and I threatened to report him so finally he went in and asked me what medication she we cut back on and I was like REALLY! So I told him and he agreed and walked away. Awful field and drs need psych more than patients. I always worked difficult areas to challenge myself like PACU or ER but this was awful and I thought it would be nice & relaxed but no. It’s good you have your sister. Mine is a nightmare. Cont

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq she never had a doctor’s diagnosis that i knew of, but she would do things that no real mother would do to her kids! Both my sister and I were good daughter’s, but nothing was ever enough for her. To make sense of her cruelty we just chalked it up to mental illness. She was in some kind of mental institute when I was 7 or so, but my dad, being German, never talked about personal stuff!

Mar 16Reply

sebq She gave away her two babies and dumped her sweet husband. His parents got the kids. She has stolen from me my whole life and when my brother died I paid to bury him but she called my deceased fathers best friend asking for $10,000 to bury him. Knowing her he called me and I told him it was paid for. She was going to pocket the money. She lives for money and goes with ANY man who will buy her anything. Disgusting!

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq That was my mom, as far as money was concerned, if you gave her money she loved you, but if you set boundaries she talked smack about us to anyone who would listen. Sorry that your relationship with your sister isn’t nurturing. I’m getting ready for, what I hope, to be a fun day. I usually don’t go very many places, but I know it’s good for me so I do it!

Mar 16Reply

sebq Sounds like your mom probably had some type of sociopathic tendencies which not all mean that she would physically hurt anyone but the fact she didn’t mother you in a nurturing way but Instead putted you against each other. My mom was very loving but she drank so much and always promised to stop. My sister drinks still and my brother did also but also did drugs. I’m the only one who didn’t get that gene I guess. My sister is so awful. I stopped talking to her 5 years ago finally

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps Having brunch with a friends brother, a really nice guy and we always have rich conversation. After I’m going to a neat antique faire out in the countryside. Food, antiques, music, and lots of booths with neat vintage and antique stuff. Steve knew I liked those kind of things, he did to before it too hard to go out and walk, so he would drive me there, one thing he still could do, and wait in the car for me.

Mar 16Reply

sebq Yes, it’s good to push yourself. As I said Sam has been down and hasn’t left the house all week. Last night in bed he pulled me close and asked me to understand. I told him I do but that I insist today he at least try and come out with me. Sometimes once you are out you start to feel better so pushing yourself is good and necessary

Mar 16Reply

sebq Money is so true the root of evil

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps This will be my first time going there, it takes place every year, since I lost him I don’t know how long I will stay. It’s called Moly Mo’s. I’m still in my pjs so I better scoot. I will check in later with you, look for the blessings today! Thru all the difficult days Steve and I had during his illness, there always were blessing visits. He always was one who saw the cup full rather than me who saw it half empty. Being married to him the one of many gifts he gave me was becoming a full cup!

Mar 16Reply

sebq @riverpeeps sounds like such fun. I would love to go to something like that. Love antiques. Sam and Steve are very alike it seems in handling there illness bcuz Sam always sees the cup full as opposed to me but this week has been a turning point and I want to snap him out of it. Having great conversation sounds great for you. Have a wonderful day Kat. Let me know if you buy any good things. 😊

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I had a great brunch with my friend Rod, great conversation! We are buds understanding that it’s a friendship, which makes it easy. It’s difficult having male friends, but I so miss their conversation. I did find something, it’s the same china as the pitcher, but in brown flowers, small butter dishes. I plan to use them for my rings in the kitchen or a place to put earrings.

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq they are super tiny, but adorable. I am a sucker for old china! Then I got two incredible handmade aprons made from old linen from Germany. They have pockets which makes it great when I gather eggs. She also had handmade pillows made from quilts, the one I got is rectangular which is perfect for my back when I sit in my recliner. Great colors a deep red and butterscotch with some blue.

Mar 16Reply

sebq I hear you about male friends. I feel like I’ve been married my whole life, actually I have, lol, so I have made friends mostly with drs in the hospital but too often they headed down that road that I don’t do. I had one male nurse friend, gay, but he turned on me bcuz I knew more than he did and felt threatened but I was older so of course I knew more but he didn’t like it. And I don’t like drama queen women or women who complain constantly about their husbands. Not me!

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I have an idea for you that might cheer him up, but most importantly have him look forward to the future. Talk with him about what he is looking forward to the most when he gets his new heart. Do some dreaming together! Write it down as you both think of things. I don’t know if that helps, but when we focus, intentionally to the future, making plans, dreaming, all that helps our state of mind!

Mar 16Reply

sebq I’m excited you found that pattern. I’m like you in that I have to have a place for my things like rings or even rubber bands. Lol. It’s great you have a male friend bcuz they understand in a way often women don’t. I’m glad you got out. I got Sam out and he’s in better spirits. Even talking about buying more things for his guitar and more music. In college he won the talent contest. So handsome up there singing and playing .

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq oh wow we are so much alike. I actually preferred male company over women because of their pettiness or gossip. Women can be so cutthroat and competitive with each other. We all are gifted in different ways we should celebrate that in each other, not being jealous! Sounds like your gay friend had much more women in him, because most guys don’t do that. I’m careful with male company because, as you said, I don’t do that. Even today when I could be dating...

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I don’t date because I had the best in Steve! I can’t imagine being with someone else intimately! I relate with what you said, that it seems that I have been married most of my life. The thing I miss most is, well, it’s really everything we had together. I can’t imagine anyone could come close to what I shared with Steve. I also feel like that part of my life was so incredible, my life with him, it can’t be duplicated.

Mar 16Reply

sebq Yes, I wasn’t going to say it bcuz I don’t know your views, but definitely he had more girl in him and as far as cutthroat women most certainly are as was the male nurse. Sam always says which I hate, if something happens to me please find love again but I cannot see that happening or what comes with it. I’ve never really dated. My HS boyfriend and then Sam. I was so innocent Sam even commented the first time; I thought you were married b4 bcuz you don’t know anything. Lol. Cont....

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I love someone playing guitar! Steve and I shared the love of music. That sounds wonderful that Sam is thinking about starting that! Well I guess I need to get something productive done. Before I go, tell me about the pitcher. You got it in Boston?

Mar 16Reply

sebq But I told him Rob had issues with his scars which affected a lot. Omg, Rob, did the guy today have the name Rob or Rod. Just hit me

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I so relate with what u said! I don’t have any issues about gay people, their lifestyle, or their choices. It’s not an easy road and I really do believe that many are born that way. I think I read somewhere that upon conception we are all female until things start forming. Something goes off when our sex is being formed. I don’t if that’s completely true, but I don’t have a problem with having friends that are gay. I wish we lived closer, it sounds like we would have a lot to share.

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Lol, no his name is Rod.

Mar 16Reply

sebq Yes, we are all female b4 the male genitalia change and when I hear it’s a choice they make and the parents disown them I get furious. Why would you choose something that causes so much grief. We are who we are. Do you get or watch the show “I Am Jazz”

Mar 16Reply

sebq Yes, I was up actually on the Cape and Tracy and I drive into Boston for the day. They have like a street fair with all kinds of foods and wares being sold and this older woman had such unique things but being I love pitchers and green I gravitated right to it. I worried about getting it home but Tracy chose to pack it up and mail it. That was shortly b4 she began to morph into this other person.

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Yes, super interesting! Me too on disowning your child because of that! Now its a difficult situation for people who believe in God, but for me I don’t judge that. Are you on Facebook?

Mar 16Reply

sebq The pitcher after that made me sad bcuz it was like the last time she was my sweet baby girl and not this other person. She’s so brilliant, always gifted classes, they wanted her to skip grades but I said no. Although Steven is bright himself I feel he uses her for his personal gain. Go be productive Kat. I realize you have a life too. Thanks for sharing your day with me😊💞

Mar 16Reply

riverpeeps @sebq 😊 😘 Its neat getting to know you.

Mar 17Reply

sebq No, never duplicated. Me too, I have the best and could never be close again with another man. I just pray I’m with my Sam until “I” die

Mar 17Reply

sebq You too, so special!😘

Mar 17Reply

sebq Yes I am in FB

Mar 17Reply

sebq Yes, checked, Rod. How close tho

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I think. Found u? Is your picture you have up, with your daughter?

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps One more thing before I go, have faith that your daughter is not lost to you! Steve and I thought our daughter was, because of her husband it became more difficult having any relationship with her. I prayed for a lot of years that we would be reconciled with her. We were, but I believe that it was an answer to our prayers, bit partly because of what I choose to do. Drop my expectations, and extend mercy and grace to her!

Mar 17Reply

sebq On my page you mean? I don’t post pictures bcuz both Sam & I HATE how we photograph so we don’t post pics but there may be a pic of us. She’s blonde and very thin. Shows you how much I visit my page. I only recently in maybe the last 6-8 months started on Newsfeed bcuz Sam used to always show me things so I started going on there. That pic in my closet of Sam is actually from a professional photographer in NY who asked to photograph him for modeling

Mar 17Reply

sebq He was told he is too handsome and his pics don’t do him justice. Imagine that. When I met him I swear he had a glow around him. I thought he was the most gorgeous man I had ever met and he still is to me

Mar 17Reply

sebq I listed a post of Tracy with her boys in the Cape let me know if this is who you saw

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq a quick check with morning coffee at hand to see how u are before I start my day. Hope Sam’s spirits are lifted today. Yes, I felt that way when I first laid eyes on my Steve!

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq the picture I saw was of a beautiful gal, thought it was you, and her beautiful daughter. The caption on the picture is this beautiful s my beautiful Daughter! The reason I asked about if you were on FB, I’m not on it very often, I do it for my grown grandsons and,daughter. I thought we could communicate with as many words we wanted on private messenger. I wrote quite regularly on FB after I lost Steve, it was very therapeutic. A lot of what I wrote is locked

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps ...but a lot of my experiences are not! The reason I shared some of it is because I realized that our society doesn’t know what to do or say for someone who is grieving. Through my 2 year journey without Steve I have learned a lot the hard way. I felt prompted to come up with a curriculum, “There is Life After Loss” I’m prepared to share it in a classroom setting, workshop, retreat, or an informal gathering of hurting women.

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps It’s not just a loss of a loved one, but divorce, loss of reputation, loss of job, loss of health, etc. The deep grief surrounded by those losses can be as traumatic as a death! I know it will continue to help me as I share with others what I’ve learned and how I’m getting through each day. Hope you have a good day😘

Mar 17Reply

sebq Yes, that’s probably me & Tracy. She’s even thinner now bcuz Steven upsets her. She lives in her mansion made of eggshells. If it weren’t for her boys who she has wanted kids since she could talk I believe is why she stays but kids see everything. Absolutely FB on messenger is better. I’m not a big FB person either but messenger I like. Private and no limit You can ask me to be friends or me to you and then we can messenger

Mar 17Reply

sebq @riverpeeps I think you should start a group for grieving women for whatever reason. If you feel confident in what you have learned through reading plus your own two years most definitely it would help not only them but you as well. If we lived close I would go bcuz sometimes I just need to let it out.

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq thanks 😘

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I just did if you are the right one, lol!

Mar 17Reply

sebq Let me look. Lol

Mar 17Reply

sebq Idk who you asked to be friends but apparently it was someone me. Lol. I don’t see an invite. Did I you spell my name right bc I doubt there are too many females named Ricki Mandel

Mar 17Reply

sebq You are welcome. Go for it. I think it would be great and cathartic for you

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I’ll try again!

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I did press the friends button.

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps Let me know if you found it, or just look for me. Don’t want to post it here, you have my address and name still don’t you?

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps During the later part of Steve’s illness I gained weight because of the stress plus I was trying to cook everything and anything he had an appetite to eat. Then I had surgeries so I’m finally where I want to be weight wise, just like the funny picture of Steve, me and Annelise.

Mar 17Reply

sebq I’ll look again. What is your last name so I can look for you In case

Mar 17Reply

sebq Ok

Mar 17Reply

sebq Its quite apparent you are as bad on FB as I am. Give me your last name and I’ll try inviting you. Lol. We are like Dumb & Dumber on FB. Lol

Mar 17Reply

sebq Your know, I’ve never actually gone through your closet bcuz I try not to spend right now with Sam so sick, but you have amazing things. I love it

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq LOL LOL, how true that is!

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps My grandsons wanted me to go on it years ago so I did. I post mostly encouraging things and sometimes my struggles.

Mar 17Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Check in your FB notifications, there should be a friend request from me.

Mar 17Reply

sebq Ok, let me check. Been cooking all night. Ugh!

Mar 18Reply

sebq Idk if it’s you or me but I do not see a request from you anywhere. I went under requests and zip

Mar 18Reply

sebq Give me your name and let me try you bc I’m just not seeing any requests and I had some but not you

Mar 18Reply

sebq I checked and nothing. Then I looked up spelling of your name from shipping labels but ALL of them were Jo and not Ju for your last name so I clicked on all and nada. Where are you. Is the spelling right. Katrin Ju and not with Jo

Mar 18Reply

riverpeeps @sebq lol, I guess I messaged the wrong person, hope not, don’t know why you didn’t get it! The last name is Jurdan, I also have my maiden name included in case relatives from Germany look for me. (Gunka)

Mar 18Reply

sebq I’m just now seeing message. We were at Cleveland Clinic all day. Nope, not one Jurdan, only Jordan. I don’t get I. With me I’m probably the only Ricki Mandel but for you, holy moly. Tons! Is it a picture of you or your backyard. I couldn’t find you. If you can go to my home page you can request it there. I checked everywhere but no luck. I should be easier to find than you. We need messenger much better

Mar 18Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I think I found you, I entered your initial too, are u wearing a nurses hat and outfit?

Mar 18Reply

riverpeeps Yep, that’s you! You have comments under your profile picture you mentioned Sam so I know it’s you! You talk about not photographing well, same here I seldom like me in a photo, mainly because after my daughter was born I fluctuated in weight. I have been at a comfortable weight!

Mar 18Reply

sebq Yes, that nerd is me. We had to wear them for pictures for something. I look like a geek. Lol

Mar 18Reply

riverpeeps @sebq It’s a beautiful picture! Did you get the friend request? Boy I know what that is like to be at a clinic or doctor’s appointment. That seemed to be our outing, but we tried to make it a good day out together!

Mar 18Reply

sebq Yes, I got it. So happy you found me and your maiden name is on it. Yes, the hospital is always a worry bcuz I worry about his numbers and his bleeding time was way off so I have to monitor his meds carefully not that I don’t already but they are always like, get it straight or lose 5lbs or you are off the transplant list.....cont

Mar 19Reply

sebq Talk about zero empathy. Sam is an athlete an always active with muscles everywhere but he isn’t allowed to be active and being a big guy he likes to eat. But now he can’t burn it off. We even go to the mall to walk so he doesn’t perspire to much but he still perspires. I just wish they wouldn’t throw his donor heart in his face...

Mar 19Reply

sebq When he had gained a few pounds this nurse who was easily 100lbs over weight told him lose it or you are off list. Omg, it was all I could do to hold my tongue. At least ask him if dietary could help him and don’t threaten him with his life. It is so upsetting. I want to say things but I truly worry they will pull him off. Post transplant I plan to say something!

Mar 19Reply

sebq I’ll be nice but I plan to stress empathy for transplant patients and not threats. He’s worried next week bcuz he sees Transplant dr and I know he gained about 6-7lbs. So now I have to help him and I always want to be his place of comfort and not negativity. How did you do it Kat??? So sad. I just want to love him and not upset him😢

Mar 19Reply

sebq Omg, you got it. It still shows pending on my end. That’s odd but so happy you received it and liked it. Thank you so much for the kind words and 5 stars. It is so easy to stop taking care of ourselves. For me, I have been skinny skinny all my life and now I have put on 8lbs. I’m not watching what I eat and find I put on dark glasses and no makeup. Not me

Mar 19Reply

sebq Today his pump went off about 5am and I had to get up to change it. I climbed back in bed but couldn’t go back to sleep. Finally I dr idea I’m going to try and look pretty for my Sam so after I showered I put on all my makeup and dressed up. I felt better about me and Sam always compliments. I had to force myself.

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Oh sweet Ricky, how did I do it? Well some days I felt likeI was just going thru the motions. Before his first near death episode I was in ministry, a leader with my own group of women. All leaders had training each week before class. Approx. 60 leaders who were my support each week. They prayed for me and supported me so much thru those days. It was good for me to have a focus and a purpose cont...

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I knew I had a ministry with broken women, it is a true calling which I love, but it became difficult as he required more of my care and attention. He wanted me to continue as long as I could because he knew that it made me feel alive. He also loved hearing about it each week because he prayed for me and all leadership. So I continued, had leaders meeting on Tues then taught my class on Thurs, but on Dec 18 2015 it all changed.

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq We didn’t know it then, but his lung collapsed, I know the medical name, but will probably spell it wrong. Called ambulance tried to calm him down, but he lost consciences the EMTs didn’t think he would make it to the hosp. He did, they inserted a chest tube and took him to a more equipped hosp. I wanted to go thee first, but the EMT said he wouldn’t make it if they did. I rode in the front of the ambulance,

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq Looking back constantly seeing his vitals plummet to almost nothing. EMT asked me his heart stops do I want him to be resuscitated. Steve and I talked about, but when your there facing that you feel differently. Please I said do what you can for him! There is a lot more detail, maybe we can personally talk sometime. He pulled through with a long stay in the Hosp. Nine days in ICU then two more weeks in the hosp with rehabilitation.

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq We were hopeful coming home, but it didn’t last long. Again it began it had collapsed again. Our doctor who literally saved his life several times said that in all his years of practice along with his colleague combined they had never seen such bad lungs, paper thin. This time he was driven to OHSU which is about 2 hours drive. They did a special treatment on him which is incredibly painful. But he was on a respirator heavily sedated so his body

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq responded to the pain, but he didn’t remember it. They said he would not survive another nemothorax, probably not the right spelling, but that’s the medical term which I’m sure your familiar with. His second episode was just a month or so later in January. Another long stay in ICU then a regular hosp room. I stayed with him sleeping there too, but I needed to go home after a few days to take care of things then I drove back.

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq All this to say that his third episode was the beginning of the end, the end of the line. The following January he couldn’t fight any longer. Our faith carried us both, but honestly I don’t know how I did it some days. God just gives you what u need at the time. I had a lot, I mean a lot of prayer support. Trust that’s what you will have too. I’m here, I know exactly what your going through! Remember self care is important, getting dressed up, etc, what u did for you and Sam helps.

Mar 19Reply

sebq I read your words and I actually feel myself going there. I am so scared for Sam. I believe if they get him the heart he needs it will buy us time but every time I ask is there a data base where a donor comes available and you punch I. dams blood. Tissue and size. But nobody gives me answers. The transplant dr said next time we see him Sam will be getting his heart so I don’t see him... cont

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq reach out to me anytime you need to. Did u get my FB invite? I will send you that letter I talked about with my cell number u can text me if u can’t talk😘

Mar 19Reply

sebq Sometimes we get lucky and run into him in the Clinic but not lately. I just want answers and I don’t want to be afraid to tell them to have a bit of empathy for Sam. Seeing Steve like you did I think you go on auto pilot and maybe later question how you got thru it. That’s just a guess but I almost lost Sam when he coded and I couldn’t keep him out of the hospital. Cont

Mar 19Reply

sebq I just remember yelling his dropping bcuz nobody was doing anything and I wouldn’t let them push me out of the room. I wanted to. E sure they ran that code right. I just kept screaming don’t let him go. Somehow he pulled thru. Tracy continued her iciness too me during it all. Cont

Mar 19Reply

sebq I wondered how could this girl I raised who always had the biggest heart not hear my voice and my fear but she didn’t. I just told myself to forget her bcuz Sam needs me but you can’t forget your child no matter how hard you try and no matter what they do. So I mourned her loss and stayed with Sam. Cont

sebq I pray I get to take that picture of him post transplant with his college blanket draped over him to show him when he wakes up. His idea, not mine. His friend sent him his college blanket with his colors and he asked that I cover him and take his picture. He will be in a medically induced coma at that point. I said I’ll try

Mar 19Reply

sebq Yes I got and accepted your FB request. It would be great to text.

Mar 19Reply

sebq I believe God brought you into my life when he did. I truly believe that bcuz you do understand what I am going thru. I can imagine seeing him respond to the pain was horrific but it’s true they don’t remember. When Sam was in and out of the hospital I thought I was losing him then bcuz I’d get him home two days and then right back in

Mar 19Reply

sebq Then finally we ended up in Cleveland Clinic ICU for two weeks and they got him stable enough to come home. I only came home to shower and change. I got so worn out but the nurses were amazing there I have to say. I just wonder now WHEN DO WE GET THST CALL?

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I can’t imagine what it must be like for u both! I was always waiting for the next possible,episode. You have to take those thoughts and bring them to another place, do the next thing whatever that next thing is.

Mar 19Reply

sebq I always hear people who died while waiting for a heart just have a massive heart attack and die. Sometimes I look at him and I just say to myself God won’t do that to him. He won’t take my Sam from me. I just tell myself he knows he’s taken enough but I may be wrong. I beg him nightly to spare Sam

Mar 19Reply

riverpeeps @sebq I just read about your concern about his weight, and possibly taking him off the list. Get rid of that thought! It’s destructive, replace it with his new heart will be here soon. I am going message you now because what I’m going to tell u might be long, its something I did automatically (about my neg. thoughts) which helped me. I do believe God gave me those thoughts!

sebq Ok, thank you Kat. I need something

eclectic_booty Hi Kat! Just wanted to check in and see how you’re doing? 😊💕

Jun 21Reply

riverpeeps @eclectic_booty your sweet, had my sister visiting which was so special. It’s been a rough few weeks, I had to euthanize my female goose, Gracie. Only a year old, but she had a rare complication to her reproductive system. I thought she was egg bound, her first laying. Surgery would of possibly corrected it, but the chance of her surviving wasn’t a guarantee plus she would of continued having issues even after the vet removed her uterus.

Jun 23Reply

riverpeeps @eclectic_booty She still would of produced eggs, who knows what would of happened. She did a free necropsy and found a unshelled egg the size of 4” by 8”, it took up all the room in her digestive and gut. It was like a Russian egg, an incomplete egg in another. Was a hard choice!

Jun 23Reply

eclectic_booty @riverpeeps I’m so sorry, Kat. As you all too well know, losing a loved one (feathers or not) is so intensely heart breaking. Making the decision you did takes tremendous courage. I bet Gracie was just beautiful! I’m sure the time she had with you was very special 💕 I am no stranger to grieving lost animal family members. I’m here if you need to reach out 😊🌺🦋

Jun 23Reply

riverpeeps @eclectic_booty thank you so much! I’m out by the river watching a movie on my iPad with her mate George who is napping. I’ll post a picture.

sebq No it isn’t but if anyone can relate it’s you so I feel guilty when I tell u what I’m going thru. You went thru hell, lost Steve and you hold it together so much better. 🙏

Sep 27Reply

sebq My biggest problem and I guess always has been it I’ve never really learned how to cope or just trust in whomever or whatever. I’m a HUGE worrier and it’s been taking its toll. I know the caretaker goes they so much but how does one just let go and trust. I try, God knows I do🙏

Sep 27Reply

riverpeeps @sebq that part is a learned journey, little by little you give away to trust. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all deal differently, rest in knowing that it's a process which God does within your heart.

Sep 27Reply

sebq That’s comforting to hear bcuz I need his patience in understanding. My stress has gotten to here I’m constantly checking my blood pressure bcuz I have erratic pressure anyway and like this morning even after taking my medicine is was sky high out of worry. Can’t have that😇

Mar 04Reply

riverpeeps @lilradcloset yes I’m trying to do that, living my best life, some days I don’t know what that looks like. I’m liquidating my closet trying to sell the luxury then donate what’s left. It’s time to leave this platform, I won’t close my account, but I’m going to slowly sell what I can by the end of this year. Live Sellers like yourself help by having share shows. Thank you it was fun being in your show, but I couldn’t stay awake to see who won.

hot_mess_les @riverpeeps I am so very, very sorry for your loss. What an amazing tribute you wrote about your husband. You obviously had a phenomenal relationship, the kind of love which most aspire to experience. How fortunate you were to be able to have that deep of a love 💕 My heart hurts for you, though, that he was taken from you far too soon. May you find peace and comfort in your memories.
