- Dealing With Grief Over A Departed Pet
By: hunny01 | - The loss of a beloved pet can be as devastating as losing a family member. Afterall, pets can even be more lovingly unconditional than people.

Indeed the paradox of loss is at constant play with life. we are certain that everything ends but we are uncertain when it ends. ...

By: Kate Francis | - No matter where we are from or what has happened to us, each one of us deals with grief throughout our life.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

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 | - Death due to suicide is probably the most complex grieving experience we ever have to deal with. When a loved one commits suicide we are left wondering Why? Over and over that simple question just keeps coming up - Why?

- How To Deal With Murder Grief
By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - Murder grief may be somewhat less difficult to deal with than suicide grief, simply because the answer to "why" always points to a third party rather than the deceased individual. Otherwise, the difference is akin to being hit in the head with a 5 pound sledge as opposed to a 10 pound sledge. Either of these will cause a lot of damage. The question of "why", in this case, leads us to try and understand the killer's motivation which rarely delivers a satisfactory answer.

- Helping Someone Who Is Grieving The Loss Of A Pet
By: Chad Wiley | - The majority of pet owners enjoy rich, loving relationships with their pets, and often times a pet is considered to be a member of the family, just as much a part of the household as a daughter or son. For a single man or woman, or a couple without children, a pet can even take the place of a child, and thus be just as near and dear to the owner's heart as an actual child might be, or even more so.
This being the case, the loss of a pet can be very difficult, and even heartbreaki ...

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.

- What We Widows Want From Others
By: Ann Estlund | - I have known many widows, starting with Pauli, my best college friend, when we were both only 29 and had three children. As part of her therapy, she and I made a stab at outlining what we thought would be a perfect guidebook for widows. I felt like an authority on the subject. Later, in addition to my Mom and older friends and family members, my sister Joan and two nearby friends, Sue and Gretchen, all lost their husbands. By the age of 51, I knew more about widowhood than I cared to know.
