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. If only the amount of love showered on our pets can be equal to the amount of years added to its life, our pets would live as long as we want them too. But as everything else that has a beginning, so too, do they have an ending. Indeed the paradox of loss is at constant play with life. we are certain that everything ends but we are uncertain when it ends. ...

- After The Funeral: Grief Counseling For Everyone
By: Alan Roberts | - When a loved one dies, we all react differently.

- 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 ...

- Transformation - What Is It?
By: Dave Smart | - 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? In the way we at T ...

- 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 ...

- How To Cope With A Relationship Breakup
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 Deal With Suicide Grief
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?
Why would someone we love do that to themselves? What was going on in their mind that this was their only way out? Did I miss something in their behavior that could have warned me of this possibility? I feel lost and confused, and maybe even guilty. I cannot accept ...

- 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.

- How To Cope With Death Of A Parent
By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - Losing a parent is something we all have to face at some point in our lives. At a young age this is particularly difficult, so we rely on adults to show us how to grieve. Sadly, most adults are poor models of the grieving process as a whole.
When we lose a parent in our adult years we are facing a changing of the guard so to speak. The older generation is leaving which leaves us without a buffer to our own eventual demise. We may have just lost our last surviving parent, or we may ...

- If You Lose Touch With Your Kids, They Think It's Their Fault
By: Len Stauffenger | - 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 s ...

- Helping Your Child Cope With The Loss Of His Dog
By: Chad Wiley | - It is very hard as a parent to have your child experience and cope with a loss. Often, a child's first experience with death happens to be the passing of a pet. If your family dog has gotten old or sick and you know you must have your pet down, it is best to be as gently honest with your child as possible. Their understanding of death is at this point very minimal so making sure they fully understand is the best thing for them. Help your child not to be afraid of this loss, but to instead, heal ...

- What Comes After Care Giving?
By: Susan Ellis | - "Now you can get on with your life" are the words of comfort we hear when our role as caregiver is over. The depression that we sink into, and others cannot fathom, is grief for ourselves. Others will attempt to help us get over the grief for the person lost from our life but will fail to realize that it is the loss of self for which we grieve later. Indeed we don't realize this for ourselves at the time. Since we have spent a long time putting another's needs first, we fail to understand how mu ...

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.
Unfortunately, this coping mech ...

By: Peter Hutch | - Stress is a disease which affects more and more people in the modern society. It determines the hormone release which leads to vasoconstriction and diminishes blood circulation.

By: Bill Urell | - The tragic loss of a loved one, the death of a spouse, the break up of a long and fruitful marriage life is full of chances for grief, and can easily be wasted on grieving.
Grief is certainly a reality that we must all face,
but when we go beyond facing it when we sink deeper and deeper into it, we tend to lose sight of other things in life that are more important. We may neglect people who are close to us, alive, and who still need our love. We may drag ourselves to work, ...
