About EarthMother
About me:
I have worked in social services (nonprofits) for over two decades. At this point, there is little I've not heard, and therefore, I am able to give pretty grounded advice.
I like to write, and I'm currently working on my first novel. I created a 5-week workshop series for midlife women; and, I also have a midlife advice column in a small SF Bay Area paper.
Feel free to ask me whatever is on your mind &/or in your heart. I'm here, just ask!
I wish you well,
Earth Mother

My grandma had a stroke a few months now...4 to be exact! There are some problems in the family rite now so can you please help me. My grand-dad , who died, his niece came and she started bad talking me infront of me for the babysitter , my mom and even right next to me. This happened 2 days now and she's makin me ill. My mom told her to go home and don't come bak quickly. And now the doctor made me buy my grandma this expensive tablet...whre I live it's $3690 a month! And I am gettin money to buy groceries and stuff for the house but I'm not gettin that much money to buy it...and I know I should take it on because I'm only 14! I think I'm goin in a depression because this evenin I jus bought 12 tablets for $367 and that's only for 3 days!!!! I realised I am only crying and crying and it's relly buggin my mom!! What do I do? And I don't want to visit a doctor...so please help!
Dear I Don't Want to Get Sick,
If you google "free medicine" or "medicine assistance," or something similiar, there are many drug companies that will supply your grandmother with her medicines at little or no cost. Now, each company has there own rules about how to apply, and that information is provided on their website. Most drug companies have toll free 800 numbers on their websites.
Also, drug reactions happen sometimes. In this case, please let her doctor know about this as she'll probably need to try a different dose of that medicine or a different medication all together.
As for your depression, might you speak with a shool counselor, or chruch minister? You can also google "teen hotlines" in your area and speak with an anonymous hotline counselor. You are dealing with a lot and in times like these, it's important to get emotional support!
I wish you well.
Take Care,
Earth Mother
