The Reality Of Remarriage After Widowhood

From www.huffingtonpost.com - July 24, 2013 2:32 PM
A few months ago, a well-known actor mentioned in an interview that he still thinks about his late wife. People were shocked at this 'stunning revelation', as the same actor has been happily remarried for a number of years.
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:

How do you move on and remarry after you lose someone?  Bereavement and grief over the loss of a spouse is intense but it should not effect your future happiness with another person.  Never forget or demean but adapt and adjust with life.

'When you lose a child, you bleed and keep on bleeding'

'When you lose a child, you bleed and keep on bleeding' | Grief & Bereavement Counseling | Scoop.it
From www.independent.co.uk - July 9, 2013 2:39 PM
Tom died in his sleep on Friday, 5 October, 2007. He was 14. Unusually, he had felt unwell and been diagnosed with a virus the day before. I checked on him in the morning, glad he'd been catching up on his rest.
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:

The greatest pain, suffering and loss is a parent's grief over a death of a child.  Bereavement therapy is usually required for this painful loss as the parent attempts to regain some sense of a normal life--but the reality is the pain never really goes away and that is part of the adapation--moving on with the pain.

Giles Fraser: In the absence of faith, death cafes can provide a space for us to talk about what a good ending might be
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:

It is healthy to discuss death instead of avoiding the topic.  Those who avoid it will only become more scared of it in the end and leave other people in the dark about their ultimate wishes after they are gone.  We need to have a healthy respect for the topic of death and discuss it with family and friends.  If you are interested in learning more about death, then please review our program in grief counseling.

A few years ago we lost 3 dogs that had been in our lives for almost 2 decades, in a short period of time and we were absolutely devastated. The only things that really kept us going was the support we got from online groups and their members who had gone through the same grieving process with their own pets.

CNS STORY: Quebec's end-of-life bill decried as Belgian-style euthanasia

From www.catholicnews.com - June 13, 2013 3:22 PM
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:

Pastoral care of the dying must always seek to preserve life in all ordinary circumstances.  Pastoral care is about helping the person live life to the fullest, not ending it prematurely.  It is about accepting the pain that is within the ordinary circumstances before death that medication cannot ease.  It is not about escapism but redemption.
