  • 10 Tips for Coping with Grief and Loss - Grief is an incredibly agonising human experience but also a natural reaction to loss. In life it is almost inevitable that we will experience grief and loss. Although it is a painful experience, grief is also a process that gives us strength to take on the challenges we face in life. People cope with grief in different ways. Some can overcome it relatively quickly whilst others take time to get through it.

  • Lost Is Lost – Bereavement Grief Is Never A Solution - Man’s responses to various situations vary widely. There are as many numbers of reactions as there are people in this world. The response to stimulus is human and is quite natural. But there are situations in which human responses go beyond the control of their mind.

  • How a Eulogy Speech Can Help to Alleviate Grief - One of the hardest things to deal with is the passing of a loved one. For many the thought of the upcoming funeral or memorial service is very hard on them. They are afraid that they will not be able to get through the service with any kind of dignity or grace. They are afraid that the feelings they have been dealing with will be intensified. However if there will be a loved one that delivers a strong eulogy speech at the funeral, this will often help those who are still so overwhelmed with the passing of the loved one and the grief that they are currently feeling consumed by. It is important to remember what you are doing when you are delivering a eulogy speech at a memorial or funeral service.
  • Ready to Begin Dating Again? - The grief generated by a divorce is about shattered dreams and concepts. It's very natural to process through the stages of grief, because your marriage has died. Once you've taken the appropriate amount of time for you to process the grief, it might now be time to consider dating again. Keep your children at the top of the considerations list as you prepare to enter into the dating game again. To begin, assess how long your divorce has been final. What period of time has passed?

  • Grief- Your surprising tool for momentum - Business momentum is when a series of "events" build upon each other, and multiply their efforts. It's when your business starts to have some steam of its own, and you get carried along for the ride. For instance, we had some February sunshine here in Portland, and I went bicycling. Each time I pedalled was an "event." But, that pedaling only creates momentum that carries me forward when I'm not peddling IF... IF I don't stop after every time I pedal. IF I choose a destination and move towards it. Every time I stop, or make a sharp turn, I lose the momentum I've been building.
  • Who Suffers When You Lose Touch With Your Kids? - In her book "On Death and Dying," when Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross identified the Five Stages Of Grief that an individual goes through when they have lost a loved one to death, I believe her five steps became applicable to many other kinds of loss, among them the loss by a child of a parent through divorce. When an adult loses someone due to a death, they have the lifetime of experience behind them to help them cope with the loss of their dear one. And we all know adults who have suffered a long time trying to come to terms with this very painful kind of a loss.

  • Helping People Grieve: Animals at Funeral Homes - It may not be surprising that funeral homes throughout the country employ grief counselors to help people mourn their lost loved ones and start the recovery process. But that those grief counselors sometimes make people feel better with a wag of the tail or rub against the leg may come as news. Derek and Flags at Hillcrest Memorial ParkA handful of funeral homes throughout the country are using dogs to help people who are in emotional distress. Perhaps the best-known dog in the funeral industry is Derek, a 9-year-old golden retriever and the faithful companion of Tom Flynn, the owner of Hillcrest Memorial Park.
  • Our Life Is Full Of Dreams And Aspirations - Not everyone can manage to bear the grief and agony that comes along with a break up. It comes across as the hardest phase of someone’s life. Though it’s a regular incident we come across these days but still the impact it has on someone’s life is enormous. Besides once you go through this ordeal, you end up distrusting every relationship.
  • Transformation - what is it? - The other day my friend's dog died. She came to me distraught with grief. I sat with her, letting the conversation drift as she would have it do so, sometimes talking about the dog, sometimes about other things. I knew that, painful as it was for her, it was a process for her to go through, and hopefully she would get to the other side of it eventually. We hear a lot about transformation and about things "transformative" these days. Just what is transformation?
  • Writing Eulogies That Honor Those Lost - Losing a family member or close friend can be devastating and can have a lasting effect on all who knew the person who has passed.

I often hear people say that they lost their mother, father, or another person in their lives.

  • Best Flowers To Show Sympathy - People use flowers for a number of reasons. They are sent to others when something great has happened in their life, as an expression of love, for encouragement, and also for sympathy. They are a way in which people let others know that they are thinking about them in both good times and in bad, but it is in the bad times when someone needs to know that they are supported, especially in a time of grief. Flowers for sympathy Flowers for sympathy are certainly not meant to take away the pain that comes during a grieving time. However, this gesture is a great way to let other family members and friends know that they are not alone in their grief; that they have always got someone by their side.
  • Passing Up The Poison - Take back your personal power - Here on the Gulf Coast in Texas in September 2008, the daily question was not "How are you?", it's "Do you have power yet?" Friends and neighbors on the same street didn't all have power. Some people in a community got power back the Tuesday after Hurricane Ike, 10 days later- others in the same community were still waiting. It's funny how our "vision" changes once things like this happen. The little things like flipping on a switch or using your hair dryer become huge. Electrical power is one thing. Personal power can be even more important. Today, we cover one of the most difficult areas of struggle for individuals- dealing with what others say about us and to us.

Wondering why he or she didn't come to them. They believe that if given the chance their intervention and support may have thwarted the fateful decision. Most often a note or message of some kind left behind gives clues about the desperation, despair and depression leading to the decision. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Most often the death is preceded by a crippling depression. Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness are powerful emotions leading to despair.

  • Divorce Recovery and Loss – What Is the Secret to Grieving the Losses Caused by Divorce? - Divorce recovery is tough enough without our making it unnecessarily difficult, isn't it? Aren't the losses we endure quite enough to deal with without adding more imagined losses to the pile? The obvious answer to these questions is, of course, "Yes." However, we routinely ignore the obvious when dealing with the fallout from our divorce and increase the difficulty of our recovery by assuming imaginary losses to be real. 1. Our Emotion-Based Reactions to Divorce Exaggerate Our Perceived Losses Divorce brings distress over what we have lost. It also brings a fear of an unknown future. These heightened emotion-based reactions cause us to exaggerate what our actual losses are. Minor issues become huge problems. The real issues get lost in the fog of perception and imagination.

  • Its hard to say Goodbye - I deliberated about writing this article as I find it hard to talk or write about the loss of a pet in the past and I know how emotionally difficult it is for us to make that final call. Writing my thoughts down on paper does however help me clarify my feelings as it's something that has been paramount in my mind these last few months. Let me explain. Some 2 months ago my Jack Russell called Rex developed a back stiffness that was off and on until he started to slow up and battled to climb the stairs. I could tell that in his stiffness he was not in a lot of pain but just enough to warrant a visit to the vet and some x- rays and pain killers. The x -rays showed nothing but the pain killers worked and he rebounded.

  • Parenting Young Children Through A Death - One of life’s most painful lessons is that death is final, and by the time we are adult is we have come to terms with its finality.

  • How To Mend A Broken Heart - Oh, if only there were a simple answer to heartbreak. Alas, I have yet to find one. After witnessing countless women’s journeys on the road to healing from a hurtful love affair, the conclusion that I’ve come to is that ‘the only way out is through.’ This, dear reader, is probably NOT the answer you were looking for. However, I’m a big believer in dealing with reality and not seeking simple solutions to complex problems. When a healthy intimate relationship ends, the pain can feel unbearable at times. But when a hurtful, or abusive, relationship ends, not only are you dealing with the loss of the relationship; you’ve also got to heal from the trauma of the abuse.

  • Natasha Richardson, New Insight Into Life Beyond Her Passing - Recently I watched Larry King Live and then a bit of Andersen Cooper as they commented on Natasha Richardson’s passing. I’ve paid particularly close attention to this story since I received a concussion a few months ago and have struggled with vicious headaches and other problems since. After my injury, I did not seek immediate medical attention since I thought it was a minor problem. It never occurred to me that I could have had a concussion or even something more serious. After finally going to see a neurologist and getting an MRI, I was kicking myself for not going sooner. Any type of head injury is nothing to discount. While watching CNN, I heard Andersen Cooper briefly mention that “it is hard to imagine that Natasha is no longer with us.” But that isn’t true.
