I recently lost a family member. What's an appropriate response when someone says, "I'm sorry for your loss"? Do I tell them, "Thank you" for their kind words, or do I say, "It was unfortunate," or something along those lines?
Thank you for your concern.
Why is it so prison mail so slow???
All prison mail is screened - meaning that they probally x-ray all incoming and outgoing letters. This usually adds a couple of days to the delivery time. You should make sure that you address the letter correctly - the jail sometimes asks that you put the person's Prisoner number on the outside of the letter.
I don't think my husband really loves me...?
This is a lot of crap to go through! I will give you some good advice....dump the loser! He will never change and you will ALWAYS be last on his list! Take everything you can and do not tell him where you are going. Get out of there before he abuses you any more! Protect your grandmother, apologize to your dad! Squirrel away some money, take everything of value to you and leave. He is not worth it. Do not tell him you are leaving. Who knows what he will do if he thinks you are going? Get the upper hand and consult an attorney to see if you can be compensated for all the abuse you had to endure during the marriage. How long have you and this guy been married? Demand alimony and do not let him off the hook. Hit him where it hurts....his wallet! Keep away from him and find a REAL man to keep you safe and appreciate you! Run as fast as you can! Oh, you are right, he does NOT love you! Edit: Emotional abuse IS abuse! He has abused and neglected you long enough! If you take this and always do what you've always done, you will get what you've always got......the same old thing! He will not change, probably never! Do you want to hang around wasting your life on him? You need to get counseling at a battered women's shelter. You will find that emotional abuse is just as bad a physical abuse! My advice is the same....get out while you can with as much as you can. Have no compassion for him, he has none for you!
"REST IN PEACE" in Arabic?
The Muslims do not use the term "Rest in Peace". They use the term "Allah Yarhamak" instead, which means "Allay Have Mercy on You". Or, "Rahmatullah 'Alayk", which translates to "Allah's Mercy be Upon You". This is customary and is usually said to someone who has passed away. The writing in Arabic is: ﺍﷲ ﻴﺭﺤﻣك - Allah Yarhamak (Allah have mercy on you) or رحمة الله عليك - Rahmat Allah Alayk (Allah's mercy be upon you) Both ways, the Arabic is written from right to left. One of the answerers above gave you a translation (yarhamokallah), it's not wrong because it means "Allah (God) have mercy on you", but that is usually said in response to a person after sneezing. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions =]
