- Burials And Funeral Directors From Around The World - Amish Bereavement
By: Phil Byrne | - We live in an age where every day millions of us are grabbing burgers, squeezing onto the tube train or rushing along with a cell phone to our ear. So it seems hard to grasp that in the heart of America there is a community that actively resists this 21st century way of life.
The Amish community lives as simply as possible, shunning all things modern, including cars, television and even electricity. They are well known for their dark toned (predominantly black) clothing and very ...

- After The Funeral: Grief Counseling For Everyone
By: Alan Roberts | - When a loved one dies, we all react differently. For some people, accepting the inevitable loss of a 87-year-old much-loved grandfather following a lengthy illness is not that difficult. For others, it is an unbearable task. Similarly, some people seem to "get over" the loss of a small child in a relatively short period of time, while others never seem to recover.
For the many people who find it hard to cope with a death, grief counseling often can help them make the transition. Its ...

- Teaching Hatha Yoga - About Students Who Are Grieving
By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - How can Yoga help someone cope with loss? Surely, Yoga must have its limits for healing one who has experienced loss or grief. Yoga teaches us to accept what we cannot control. Yet, we are not made of stone. Humans have emotions and we do not want to expose them for public display.
As each of us knows, there are different levels of grief and loss. Yet, that does not explain the level of misery someone may feel. The loss of a friend, spouse, parent, child, and pet are relative to t ...

- Coping With Bereavement; Is There Anything Which Can Help?
By: Roseanna Leaton | - The movie "Gran Torino" begins, and ends, with a funeral. There is mention of the bitter and sweet aspects of death, and questions as to whether death is an end or a beginning. Some of us believe in reincarnation or at least an after-life, whilst others do not.
No matter what your beliefs are about the after-life, it is hard for those left in this world to feel happy when trying to cope with the loss of someone who you dearly love. I can still see my mother's expression durin ...

- Grief Recovery Stages Summary
By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - The stages of Death and Dying evolved by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross are often mis-identified as The Stages of Grief Recovery. In her schema, she came up with 1) denial, 2) anger, 3) bargaining, 4) depression and 5) acceptance as reactions to a diagnosis of terminal illness. Her stages only make sense when considered against that backdrop. As such, this configuration has nothing to do with the stages of grief recovery.
Looking back over my 25 years of therapeutic experience dealing with ...

- What Is Grief Counselling?
By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - When I was in private practice I saw a lot of individuals who were grieving the loss of a loved one, whether that was a child, a spouse, a parent or a close friend. On a few occasions I saw couples where one of them had been diagnosed with a terminal condition and had less than 6 months to live. These situations were particularly traumatic for the persons involved, especially for the spouse who was not ill.
With these couples, we would discuss what was happening and how each of ...

- How I Deal With Grief And Loss
By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - I've been writing these kinds of stories for about ten years now. I started handing them out to clients in my therapy practice to see how they would react. Their responses were typically positive. Those in grief knew right away how their loss had affected them and they reported finding comfort here in these words.
A few years ago, I found out for myself what an impact these stories could have when I went through the grief of losing my mother. That event tossed me into a state wher ...

- The Real Stages Of Grieving
By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - When people pose questions about the Stages of Grief Recovery they are often referred to Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' Stages of Death. Her research showed what individuals would go through when receiving a "death sentence" from their doctor. In other words, they had a terminal condition and they were just given so many weeks or months, or perhaps years to live. Then they would go through 1) Denial; 2) Anger; 3) Bargaining; 4) Depression; and 5) Acceptance. In the media and on the net, these stages a ...

By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - Breaking up with your lover, partner or spouse is a major event in your life. The consequences are not much different than losing a loved one through death.

- How To Accept Loss And Love Your Life Again
By: Mercedes Oestermann van Essen | - If you are past your teens you probably suffered the loss of someone you care for. After all, death is as common as birth but somehow we do not view it as part of the natural process of life. Our culture does not support grieving. Many of us are afraid of death, because we don't understand its innate mysterious and somewhat esoteric nature. Our view of death is formed by social conditioning. We suppress any emotions regarding the subject as best as we can.

- A Review Of The Gathering By Anne Enright
By: Philip Spires | - Anne Enright's The Gathering deserves every ounce of praise it has received, and perhaps a bit more. It's a family history of the Hegartys, told by Veronica after the death of her brother, Liam. So, and therefore, it is a wake, a stream of consciousness response to bereavement. There are more than shades of Molly Bloom here, as Veronica recounts intimate details of her own and her relatives' ultimately inconsequential lives. And despite its obvious and necessary preoccupation wi ...

- Grief May Not Always Be About The Death Of A Loved One
By: Mark Goodworthy | - I have seen grief at its worse. A friend of mine lost her husband at sea, and the body was never found. She did not know whether to let go or continue to cling to her hope that someday they would meet again. With no body to bury, she hanged onto hope and despair.

- Have You Ever Lost Something Or Someone?
By: Mark Goodworthy | - Bereavement refers to people who experience the loss, through death, of a loved one or someone who has importance to them. Bereavement is a normal experience in a sense to each and every one of us since it occurs in the course of our lifetime.

- The Metaphysical View Of Death And Life After Death Part 1
By: Luxamore | - Humanity throughout the ages have seen death as something loathsome and gruesome; something dreadful, something preferable to avoid at all cost--that is, if a choice were given--but without any other option, are forced to succumb for lack of any power over its occurrence. Anticipating the termination of life at an unexpected moment and the possible prospect of annihilation of self-identity, humanity views death as a state or condition to be feared. This fear is sustained when all around, most of ...

By: Vaughn Balchunas | - "When I was a teenager, my dog Dora passed away after a venomous snake bit her. I could not believe it; one moment we were all asleep, and the next Dora was barking her lungs out and pawing at the ground, and the third moment she was dead. We could not bear to move her lifeless body out, but it had to be done. My dad buried her at our farm during the early morning hours. I have had many dogs after that, but none of them were quite as special as that one dog - I miss her even today." - Helena Eva ...

By: Gary Kurz | - As the author of several pet loss books, I frequently receive letters and e-mail from people thanking me for my work. Along with their kind and generous words, people often give me kudos that I do not deserve. Somehow people feel the need to thank me for helping animals. The truth is I don't do as much for our animal friends as people imagine. I do help support scores of shelters by providing books for their fundraisers, making financial donations and helping out in any other way that I am a ...

- Creativity As Mediator Between The Worlds, Or Wild Dog's Kingdom
By: Emily Hanlon | - Creativity is a mysterious journey that connects us to the unseen worlds. There was a time when all people had access to the unseen worlds, although it was the shamans, story tellers and healers who mediated between the worlds as they journeyed into the Mystery and interpreted the images found there. Today we have our contemporary journeyers into the cosmic unseen worlds--many creative people are such journeyers--but as a culture we have lost the connection to our instinctual nature.

- How To Cope With Uncaring Friends After Pet Loss
By: Gary Kurz | - For people who love and keep pets, one of the most traumatic moments they will ever experience is bidding farewell to their furry of feathered best friend. Most pet people imagine that they could not feel any worse than they do during this terrible experience. Unfortunately, often we can, and for the most ironic of reasons.

- Making The Big Decision To Euthanize
By: Gary Kurz | - As an author of books in the pet loss genre, I often receive e-mail where I am asked "Do you think that I did the right thing by putting my best friend down?" The question is always qualified by a very heart-wrenching and moving story about the rapidly declining health of the family pet, which resulted in making the "big decision".
Almost without exception, the inquirer expresses a deep sense of guilt from having made that choice, which, in all probability, is the real reason for ...

If you haven't ever had a bad relationship break up like this then you could probably sympathise with someone that has.
