Us Southerners LOVE us some grief.  It seems that we enjoy wallowing in it.  That’s the only conclusion I can draw from requiring the family of the deceased to sit  and watch while everyone streams past the open casket.  Every third person or so looses their shit and then it’s water works from just about [...]

By Harriet Hodgson - Grief is a complex process, so complex that mourners may not see themselves clearly. As a friend of mine commented, “You think you’re doing well [in grief] but you really aren’t.” I kept doing my grief work after losing four loved ones, and thought I was doing well. Family members and friends, [...]

Helping Those In Grief by Amy TwainThere are times in our lives that inevitably we will become face-to-face with grief. Or somebody and anybody in grief for that matter. Friends and family are there ready to support and help loved ones, and helpers often alleviate those who are grieving. There are some practical suggestions on how to give appropriate help in their trying times of sorrow. 1.) Allow

Do you know that, your lover really desires for your care and love, even when your in home? Unless your love is not a synonym for physical relation, your love must transcend ordinary relationships.

Strong feelings of grief are normal and healthy after the death of someone you love but recent research from UNSW suggests that some people grieve for so long that it becomes a significant mental illness. Estimates are that between 10 and 15 per cent of bereaved people experience an intense, prolonged sadness arising from longing or yearning for the deceased - so much so that their overall health is impaired, they withdraw socially, become depressed and even suicidal. As well, there's growing recognition that traditional grief counseling may not help. However, other recent findings suggest that such people can recover with Cognitive Behavior Therapy, an approach already shown to be more effective than medication for a range of psychological problems, including anxiety and traumatic stress.

Grief moves like a subterranean stream through my life, and its liquidity is a constant yet frequently unconscious presence. Days can pass wherein I dip nary a toe in the rushing waters. Yet other days, the waters rise, and the briny fluid reaches the wells of my eyes.These past few weeks, that subterranean tributary is quite less than subterranean. Its level has risen, and the melting winter snows seem to have swelled the stream, feeding its depth, its breadth, and its velocity of movement.This month of March brings with it the dying breaths of Winter, as well as the birthdays of three dearly departed loved ones. Grief is natural at this time of year, and the lack of sun in this New England late winter only adds to the challenge.So, what to do in the face of grief's rise? Watch, breathe,

Yesterday it was the third day of the grief recovery workshop. It was the roughest day for my part as this day consisted of making a relationship chart over mine and my mother relationship, and also writing a fullfilment letter, that you can also partly call a goodbye letter. Reading the relationship chart was really hard, but reading the fullfilment letter actually made me feel like something was flying away from me. After I had read the letter I remember watching up to the roof and thinking she is free and so am I....I am not going to publish the whole letter as it was quite long, but I will publish the end of it here, the part of letting go:I want you to know, that despite everything I really miss you in my life and I wish that things could have been different. I want you to know that

Today we presented our loss charts. A loss chart is a chart that shows the losses in your life. It was hard to tell about it to the other people in the goup and some losses definetly still hurts...Our second task was to imagine that you would die in an hour and you needed to write our last toughts before you would die. You also needed to write a letter to the ones left behind and here is my letter:Since I moved away from home, my life has become better and better. With theese words I dont want to make anybody feel guilty or punish anybody, it was nobodys fault how things were. We were all unhappy in my family home and it is is better for all of us, as things are now. The meaning of life is to be happy, and that is why everything happend just the way it was supposed to happen. With this I w

Today was the first day of the grief recovery workshop (www.sorg.se) I am attending.This day was not that hard as it consisted mostly of lectures, but there were som tragic lifestorys that were shared with the group. One woman for example is there because her 14 year old daughter committed suicide without any warning, and there was a lot of people who has lost their loved ones to death.Tomorrow and on Friday we are going to work more on our own grief and we are also going to choose a person that we are going to mourn. I am guessing mine will be my mother although there are two more candidates that needs closure, but I will probably take them at a later point.Right now I am just feeling sad, but that is part of the process.....

Miscarriage is so strange. It's like a parallel universe. Suddenly women, so many women, come forth and tell their stories that live in utter silence otherwise. It is not something people discuss. Even the name is a holdover from the days when the mother was blamed, like a duck who's a bad sitter. She mis-carried, carried badly.The numbers of women have made me realize it might be just a few who escape what I'm beginning to think of as a fairly pervasive right of passage. If we count early miscarriage to stillborn or even those who died shortly after birth, it's a huge number of families. Huge.I know I've already said it, but being the recipients of so much love and care from our friends, neighbors and community is really humbling. It is a gift we struggle to receive. At the same time all

  GamerDude and I pay an extra $10 a month in our cable bill to have DVR service. This allows us to record the shows we like and to watch them at a time that fits our schedule. With my juggling of work, school, and homework it is the only way I get to watch anything. Recently we got caught up on some episodes of Pushing Daisies.  It is probably my favorite show on TV currently because it is sweet and funny and touching and silly all at once.  Also the use of color is really yummy.  It reminds me of the flashback scenes in Big Fish where everything is so bright and vivid it just pops off the screen with surrealism. Anyway, in a recent episode one of the characters has a scene where she sings the song Morning Has Broken.  It is a scene in which she starts out singing softly and almost sadly and transitions into sheer joy.  It is a scene in which she is moving away from grief and back into living life again. And yes I know it is a Christian hymn.  I sang it way back when … i

A silent tear punctuatedHis placid eyes, Andswiftly rolled down his cheek onto the floor,A forlorn moon gazed at the black silhouette-Standing at the window,His mind racing in another universe, Ofhappiness & freedom,A life he'd longed for so badly,A life that would end all his miseries.Below, the roar of the sea intensified hisDying feelings, Intensified his restlessnessto abandon this material world,To reunite with his Lord.He wouldn't have to be itinerant any more,He wouldn't have to beg for mercy any more,Many a crime he had perpetrated with ruthless aggression,And yet, he had felt sympathy for the victims sometimes.He wasn't that bad after all."But, what does it all matter now?", he said aloud"When Black has engrossed me?"This inevitable end seemed to be the only fitting conclusio

A grief-stricken man threw himself on a grave and cried bitterly, "My life, oh how senseless is it! How worthless everything about me, because you are gone. If only you had lived, if only fate had not been so cruel as to take you from this world, how everything would have been different!"A clergyman nearby overheard him and said, "I assume the person lying beneath this mound of earth was someone of great importance to you.""Importance? Indeed it was," wept the man. "It's my wife's first husband!"

The following material first ran three years ago today.The text (Dylan Thomas) and the illustrations (Chris Raschka) of A Child's Christmas in Wales have transformed the geography of the imaginations of the Misses M-mv, whose desks are strewn with their own drawings depicting their favorite passages of this seasonal favorite."But that was not the same snow," I say. "Our snow was not only shaken from white wash buckets down the sky, it came shawling out of the ground and swam and drifted out of the arms and hands and bodies of the trees; snow grew overnight on the roofs of the houses like a pure and grandfather moss, minutely ivied the walls and settled on the postman, opening the gate, like a dumb, numb thunder-storm of white, torn Christmas cards.""Were there postmen then, too?""With sprinkling eyes and wind-cherried noses, on spread, frozen feet they crunched up to the doors and mittened on them manfully. But all that the children could hear was a ringing of bells."Have you heard Th

December is coming. The end of 2007 is coming. My contract is ending in a few months’ time. Everything seems to be ending for me. I feel demoralised. Depressed? A little. I’m not sure what this coming months will bring. Joy? Hope? Lost? Disappointment? I’ll be graduating once I receive the letter to attend the ceremony. I’m sure my parents will be going with me. However, I don’t feel excited about this ceremony now. After 4 years of tears and hard work, it doesn’t seem so attractive now. With the coming contract ending, I’m once again wondering if I should strike out on my own. I’m not sure where my personal life will be going with my mishandling, yet again. I still haven’t learnt from the other time. I asked myself why is that I must insist it be done that way. I keep hurting others instead. After knowing that they are hurt, I’m disappointed with myself and depressed with the way I’ve handled the situations.

This is a serialized story. Click here to read the previous post or here to start at the beginning. After her encounter with Kevin O’Meara, Jeanne’s grief for her lost husband changed into something worse. When Dr. Kevin O’Meara issued her into his private little chamber to chastise her for letting the tooth go so long, and then for no good reason stood up and gently pressed his fingers along the slope running from the base of her neck, Jeanne’s daydreams conflated with the arguments that had dominated her raggedy sleep since she’d first met the man. Since moving to Kansas, Jeanne worked nights and in the morning drove her child to nursery school. There she handed Colette to Patrice, Jeanne’s one friend—and Kevin’s wife. Then she went home—to a house that Kevin owned. She lay down in the rented bedroom, an eye mask reinforcing a darkness dependent on closed blinds and heavy curtains. Slipping free of all vigilance, Jeanne’s mind turned into two voices, which s

Agonizing. Difficult. Exhausting. There is no doubt about it, grief is a harrowing process, no matter what angle you approach it. Even though grief is universal in the sense that it touches all humankind, the way we each feel and deal with grief is unique to every individual, kind of like how every snowflake that falls to the earth has its own unique crystal shape. Gratefully I have been blessed with a firm and unwavering belief in God. Understanding that there is life after death and coming to learn to accept the Lord’s grace and tender mercies in all forms have really helped me deal with my own losses. Does this make my grief easy then? Absolutely not. There is still a process that must be taken, but at least it helps me cope with the burdens I have been given. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on the way you look at it, I have never needed to attend a funeral. However, I am still quite acquainted with grief and loss in the form of miscarriages.

My better entries seem to occur when it seems I initially have very little going on in my mind, just the opposite of what I'm feeling tonight. Oh well, I'll just hit the keys and see what happens. My father was buried two days ago. The whole illness death experience was one of the most difficult things I've experienced in my life. I am glad his suffering is over but it will be hard readjusting to life without his presence. It didn't really hit me hard until the actual funeral procession began. I've always had a phobia of funerals and unconsciously searched for ways to avoid them, whenever possible. One of the worst panic attacks of my life occurred at a funeral when I was a teen. I've learned much about grief since that time. Anxiety was not a problem with the loss of my father. I worry about my mother but sadness and a sense of loss has been w

My dad is in advance dementia and it tears my heart out to see him going down week by week. My mom is 93 and starting to fail and I’m focusing on loosing them and feeling consuming pain and anger at these losses. I need a good kick in the butt, but I feel alone in this and know that my Jesus wants to be my counsellor and strength but I think He’d be Ok if I had some sincere believers to pray and be supportive. Thank you. May God bless you richly for this ministry.

An offshore merchant account ends the days of sulking in misery over denied merchant account applications. Getting turned down in every application is always kinda hard to take in, especially if you worked really hard for that endeavor. As just in the case of high risk businesses, such as adult, dating service, escort, escort service, telemarketing, travel, high volume, and multilevel marketing, reading the mark , “denied” on the merchant account application is totally unfortunate. Let’s incorporate the Kübler-Ross model of the five stages of grief to the agony merchants face when their applications are rejected: Denial – It can’t be happening After all you’ve been through, making sure that the all the requirements were submitted, together with the original and photocopies, coming in wearing your best suit and even a new haircut, just to impress the financial officer, waiting for like six weeks to get a mere yes or no, you get a denied application. You

Grief and death is perhaps the things which has caused me to wonder the existence of life. I dare not say that I have the true knowledge of God. I born in a Catholic family. My parents are not well-educated. My grandparents had never attended schools. They were Catholics too. I also don’t know. As a child, I only know what my mother told me. She only knows that we had to go to Church and pray to God. Who is God? How to pray? Pray to Who? I don’t even know HIM. It was a mystery to me. I was told to go Catechism class. Everything was so foreign to me. Everytime I heard the catechist said God, God and God. I cannot visualize, I cannot imagine and I cannot associate anything when I have no ideas at all what on earth is God. I read the bible though. I want to learn more. I read about Jesus in the bible. Those were how I spent my nights before I sleep when I was young. During my secondary school, I had Bible Studies and I learn the whole book of Luke and Acts of the Apostle. I

Angelina Jolie, the star of “The Good Shepherd”, credits Billy Bob Thornton, her former husband, for giving her the best advice following the death of her mother. While the 32-year-old actress was struggling to cope with the grief of losing her mum, Marcheline Bertrand, to cancer earlier this year, her former husband called to offer his views on death. The actress revealed, “He said, ‘You’ll never get over it. It’s never going to be Ok, and once you accept that, you realize you never want to get over it.’” The actress added, “He said, ‘Just kind of let it sit with you, and let it be a part of who you now are.’” Angelina Jolie recently admitted her weight loss is a result of the grieving process.

They're called “iconic” even though they were only truly popular for the span of 1997-1998. But what an impression they made--transforming our pre-tween sisters into driveling “girl power” drones and spawning a torrent merchandise push that rivals only the beloved KISS extravaganza. And now, the Spice Girls are back, gearing up for a world tour kicking off in December and aspiring to ride out the aftershocks of their '90s success.

“The persons on whom I have bestowed my dearest love, lie deep in their graves; but, although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, I have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up, for ever, on my best affections. Deep affliction has but strengthened and refined...
