Once you make amends with your loved one, let him or her know that you are there for support. Dying can be a lonely process, especially if the visits and calls from other loved ones and friends taper off as your loved one gets sicker. During this time, you can offer yourself as a point of support as your loved one lives out his or her last days. This will also help make up for the time you spent apart from your loved one before you made amends. Knowing your loved one is going to die will be hard on you and your loved one. Once you make amends, you can be there to help your loved one process his or her death. Your loved one may benefit from coming to terms with death and grieving it. There is no one way to grieve. Let your loved one process it in any way he or she needs. Provide any support or assistance your loved one needs to make additional amends or help your loved one do the things he or she wants to do before dying. While your loved one is dying, he or she will need to get his or her estate and life in order. This will include medical directives, insurance policies, wills, and other legal documents that need to be put in order before your loved one dies. You can work with your loved one's legal counsel, doctors, and other family and friends to make sure that your loved one's affairs are in order. When your loved one is dying, it may be hard to handle the idea that he or she will soon die. Despite this difficulty, don't try to downplay your loved one's condition to make your loved one or yourself feel better. Your loved one knows he or she is dying and nothing you say will change that. Downplaying the situation might make your loved one feel bad and it could interfere with moving your relationship forward. Avoid reassuring phrases such as "I'm sure it isn't that bad." or "I bet you'll feel better in no time."

Summary: Offer support in this tough time. Help your loved one grieve. Help your loved one get his or her affairs in order. Don't downplay your loved one's condition.

Begin by bracing your abdominal muscles. Keep your neck and back straight as you breathe out and pull your shoulder toward your inner thigh, while keeping your lower leg parallel with the floor. Twist your torso to touch your right elbow to your left knee. Make sure to contract the muscles in your lower abdomen in order to close the gap between your pelvis and lower rib cage instead of just moving your arm. You should feel a slight burning sensation around the side of your lower torso as you do this exercise. At no point should your elbow come into your line of vision. Keep the head in a neutral position, eyes looking forward and up with your chin up, not down. Pause for two seconds with your abs contracted as your elbow touches your knee. This should be a bit challenging and should make the side of your abdomen burn with growing intensity. Exhale slowly as you lay back down on the mat. You should now be laying in the position you started in. Once you've returned to the starting position, do the exact opposite. Twist your torso to reach your left knee with your right elbow. Continue completing oblique sit ups back and forth on either side until you've finished 20 total sit ups. Then you can take a break and do another set if you want.

Summary: Bring your knee in and touch it with your opposite elbow. Pause while staying in position. Return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. Do 10 reps on each side for each set.

When you're ready to cook the ribs, get the pan ready. Choose a large pan with 2-inch sides that can comfortably hold all of the ribs in a single layer. Stacking the ribs will result in unevenly cooked meat. Cover the pan in a sheet of aluminum foil with the ends hanging off the short sides. It's important to make sure the pan you use is deep. Ribs produce a lot of juices, and you don't want them to run out of the pan. You can use a glass or metal pan. This will keep the meat moist as it cooks and prevent the bottom of the meat from burning. Pour it directly over the aluminum foil. The arch of the ribs should face up, and the bones should be against the foil. Make sure the ribs aren't overlapping. First bend in the ends of the first sheet of foil, then add a second sheet to form a tent. Scrunch the foil around the handles of the pan to keep it in place. Make sure there are no holes. Keep the ribs covered during this first hour. The ribs are ready for finishing when the meat falls easily from the bone when it is poked with a fork.

Summary: Prepare the cooking pan. Pour 14 inch (0.6cm) of water into the pan. Lay the ribs in the pan. Cover the pan with aluminum foil to form a tent. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 2 1/2 hours.

If you experience any symptoms of anemia, such as persistent fatigue, weakness, pale skin, or shortness of breath, make an appointment with your doctor. It's important to get a definite diagnosis so that you can treat your condition appropriately. Different types of anemia require different treatments. It's also important to rule out other conditions that might be causing your symptoms (such as a thyroid disorder or heart disease). Your doctor will perform a physical exam, which means they will listen to your heart and breathing. They will also check for physical signs of anemia and ask you about other symptoms. Your doctor will also likely draw a small amount of blood to check your blood count. This is a test that counts the number of RBCs and other cells in the blood and check the quality of your RBCs. If the underlying cause of the anemia is not clear, other tests may be ordered. If you try to donate blood and can't because you have a low hemoglobin count, see your doctor and ask to be tested for anemia. Before using any supplements to treat your anemia, talk to your doctor about which supplements are likely to help you and in what doses. You should also let them know about any other medications or supplements you are currently taking to avoid potentially dangerous interactions. If you have deficiency anemia, you may need to take your supplements in forms you can't get over-the-counter. For example, treatment for vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia sometimes involves regular injections of vitamin B-12.
Summary: See your doctor for a diagnosis if you suspect anemia. Consult with your doctor before trying supplements.
