Memorial Day 2012
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me. ~ Lee Greenwood

Listen to the words
And see the tears
Here the pain
And feel the fear
I am not the same
Grief has me torn
Emotions flood me
As I continue to mourn
I don’t understand it
And don’t like the reason
Grief has strengthened me
To face any season
You see the changes
And say I am strong
I know why you say it
But you are wrong
I’m a better person
I had to survive
Given the choice
I would wish them alive
BEING A CAREGIVER: THE MOST DIFFICULT ROLE WE WILL EVER HAVE TO FACE
WHO PUT THE TABOO IN DATING?
Our grief will come face to face with the fork in the road many times as we struggle through the living of our loss. There are times it will be so subtle we will barely recognise it and yet others where it's so obvious to us there can be little doubt of where we are. We are at a place of choice.
Losing a parent is devastating, no matter what your age; whether you're an independent adult with kids of your own, or if you're still a child, dependent on your parents for everything. The bond between a parent and their child is so special, that when it is broken in death we experience one of the most painful forms of grief. If you're coping with the death of a parent, work through your grief and take comfort in these 5 coping tips.
Everyone expresses their grief differently. Some people are introspective and prefer to keep their thoughts and feelings to themselves. Other people feel compelled to talk about their grief because talking to someone gives them a sense of support and community. Some people may find themselves somewhere in between these two extremes. The point is, there are no rules about how much to share or what to share. It's a matter of personal preference and what you feel comfortable with.
