Dealing With Grief and Loss
There is a great confusion about what is considered grief and loss these days, unfortunately the miss-understanding of grief and loss leaves people feeling depressed, anxiety filled and alone and they don't understand what's happening to them. I remember when I lost my father six years ago, a month later I thought something was wrong with me because I couldn't think straight, my thoughts were all jumbled and didn't know what was going on.

Annie and the Angels
How do I describe my Annie, but other than start at the beginning of how she chose me and came bounding into my life and heart 10 years ago. At that time Annie was an active hunt basset hound and her world consisted of being a member of a pack of 26 basset hounds that were bred for hunting, field trials and home life in a kennel.

Bouncing Back - Asking For Help Through Life's Setbacks
Life happens whether we are ready for it or not, and in May 2005, my mom passed away after an extended illness. I'm not sure we are ever really prepared to lose a parent, especially Mom, who has loved and nurtured us all of our lives.

Experiences From "The Flow" - The Grief Letter - From Heartbreak To Happiness
It's taken me exactly 29 days to feel semi-healed from my shattered heart. The ex-girlfriend doesn't live in my mind 24/7 anymore. I can work again. I don't feel the cloud of sadness constantly hovering over me. I don't feel like I'm barely "a stutter of an inhale" away from breaking down. The tears have stopped. I can even view reminders and images of her without instantly feeling like I'm riding the downside of a steep roller coaster. ...

Helping Children Deal with Pet Loss
The death of a pet can be a truly sad and challenging time for children of all ages. Grief is the normal and natural reaction when a pet has died. Everyone, including children perceives loss differently. Grief is a very personal and unique experience. One of the most difficult tasks for grieving children is to learn how to incorporate the death of a pet into their life and to figure out how to go on living without them.

Judy, Deanna, And Susan - Gone Forever, But Not Forgotten
Three dreams about three beautiful women, Judy, Deanna, and Susan, all of whom have passed away too early and too young. Susan said she could be in any tree she wanted and when she wanted to say hi, she would move the branches and the leaves would wave at me. Every time I see a tree move, I will wonder if maybe, just maybe, one of them is saying hi.

How to Support a Loved One Through Grief
The grieving process has given me time to reflect on my needs and how the people around me reacted during that very difficult time. I needed strength and comfort and what I observed was loving people that didn't know what to say. Most people have never learned any skills in how to support a loved one through grief.

The Death Of My Heart
Well, that is it. It is done. The heart monitor has flat lined and the respirator is sounding the end of another life, for all to hear. Now, what lies before me is the shell of the most precious and beautiful woman I have ever known. Her color is still pinkish and her skin warm and supple. Her bobbed brunette hair lay gently around her shoulders and her eyes are closed. She is now, asleep, and will never awake. Her pain and suffering have ended and she may now be at peace.
