Fragile Ecosystem
2010-04-01 15:00:00 Earlier this week, K and I learned that a couple, whom we are close to, are struggling.In January, the husband told the wife that he'd had an affair and that the affair had ended.It took our friends three months to tell us.I cringed, wondering what inane frivolities I might have talked about in her presence over the last three months."It's okay," my friend said. "It was kind of nice to pretend nothing was wrong sometimes."I hate thinking of her suffering all that time without my knowing of it.Her husband didn't want her to talk to me until he had summoned up the nerve to confess the affair to my husband.He and K are close and he felt sure his confession would end their friendship.But K and I are in no position to cast stones.Still, I am enraged on my friends behalf.I am vengeful.Let the wrath of the Almighty fall upon he who hath caused her suffering!!At the same time, I am empathetic to the shame and humiliation her husband is feeling about the poor choice he made.He turned him...

Cubs Live Game Thread: The Five Stages Of Grief
2009-08-20 00:52:00 Depression Elizabeth Kubler-Ross almost certainly had Cubs fans in mind when she identified the 5 Stages of Grief: Denial: What? Can they still pull it out? OF COURSE they can still pull it out! Just wait until we get everyone healthy again. We might not even lose a game in September! Anger: I am never buying another ticket, hat, t-shirt, jersey, or thong related to this team ever again. I refuse to contribute to this laughingstock of a franchise. I will cheer for the WHITE SOX before I cheer for this joke of a team again. God, I hate Kent Mercker!!!!!

Uncertainty
2009-08-17 14:08:00 I went running with Merrily on Saturday morning and she made me cry.She told me about her friend M.K. who is dying of lung cancer.She has two kinds of lung cancer, though she isn?t, nor has she ever been, a smoker.The doctors predict that she will only live a few more months.M.K. is 41, she?s the mother of a six year old daughter and she is furious.Every time she looks at her daughter, she wants to cry.?Even if I lived six more years, or eight more years, it wouldn?t be enough. I still won?t be here when she graduates, when she gets?s married or when she has her own child... I shouldn?t be burdening you with all this,? she cried to Merrily.?This is what I can give you,? Merrily said. ?I can listen. I can do that for you.?On our final lap around the neighborhood, I found myself unable to speak.My voice kept cracking and breaking.?She?s in the anger stage of her grief,? Merrily said, ?and who wouldn?t be? She?s had the rug ripped right out from under her.??You think you?ve got things ...

Grief
2009-03-12 19:59:00 I told someone, that I did not have much to write about lately, because not many want to hear that times is short.I know that it has been said over and over again that the end is coming. But, things were never in place like they are now.God has given me and some friends vision of our future and all have felt the pain of that. I had an occasion to talk to God about my feelings and His response was short.I had been working on our farm. God has called us back to the farm to prepare for the things to come. I decided to take a break and went down to the pond to pray. My new dog went with me. He is an Australian Shepard. He will be used for herding. He came into my life quite suddenly. One year old and full of life. He never rests.While sitting at the pond, I told God, "I do not want this." I then began to grieve what my vision had shown me. My dog came to me and showed me compassion. I was shocked. He is usually totally out of control.When he came to me, I heard God say..."I...

Always care your lover even in grief
2008-06-26 11:57:00 Do you know that, your lover really desires for your care and love, even when your in home? Unless your love is not a synonym for physical relation, your love must transcend ordinary relationships. Let me give you an example. A mothers relation with her children is beyond and different from every other relationship. Similarly, if you truly love, you will care, because to love means to care.

Paper thin
2008-06-09 04:26:00 My daddy is such a shell of who he used to be. He is so frail. So fragile.His feelings have always been frail and fragile. He would be wounded if I chose to spend the night at a friend's house instead of staying home with him on a Friday night. Paper thin skin.Now, his whole being is paper thin. His belt holds up his jeans only because it rests on his hip bones. Kissing his cheek feels like pressing my lips up to a piece of slate. Hugging him means hugging myself too after I have already wrapped your arms around him once.He says things that are irrelevant. The once lightening quick trial lawyer thought processes have been detoured by disease. It is almost more heartbreaking when he catches himself and tells you to "disregard what I just said." I might rather him not realize it.Distances and spacial relations are confused. He goes upstairs to bed because he always had before they moved into a ranch. He sometimes still lives in Mississippi or California. It stings my soul when he for...
Good Grief
2008-06-08 17:29:00 The world keeps turning and the resources get used up. It?s really quite simple. Despite that fact, the debates rage over Peak Oil, Peak Food and peak everything else. It?s about as sensible as rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. So the ?experts? continue to debate whether or not resources are running low. But the evidence is pretty clear, at least to this trader. In the past year, we have seen the oil and agriculture markets explode. And this could be just the beginning of the rally, not the end, as some would have you believe. Personally, I think we are about halfway…

How Families of Organ Donors Deal with Grief
2008-04-10 14:00:00 A study published in the February 2008 issue of Clinical Transplantation examines the effect of the organ donation process on families dealing with grief. Using the British Columbia Transplant Society (BCTS) database, the authors mailed test packages to families of deceased organ donors. Each package contained three standardized, validated questionnaires (including scales of depression, post-traumatic stress, and bereavement). Seventy-three completed packages were received (an overall response rate of 46%) and the responses were analyzed. The results of the study showed that grief varied in terms of age of the deceased and length of time since donation. Donor families reporting negative aspects about the donation process were also more likely to experience post-traumatic stress. Based on their findings, the authors concluded that organ donation can have a beneficial effect on the grief process providing that donor families receive proper counseling and support before and after donat...

Good Grief: A Preview Of A Trailer For The Incredible Hulk? - SendMeRSS
2008-03-12 16:26:00 Good Grief: A Preview Of A Trailer For The Incredible Hulk?The word is that we'll finally see a trailer for the upcoming re-boot The Incredible Hulk on Wednesday. I've talked about the bizarre (to me) lack of promotion for this movie, but now things go in the opposite extreme direction. The trailer is going to premiere on MTV and if you follow this link you'll see a commercial promoting the trailer. I don't know why that should seem absurd to me. Perhaps it's the fact that fanatical (in a good way, of course) online movie news following mania is leaking out to traditional media. Is it me, or is it wierd to see a commercial for a trailer?

Book Review Revisited: Harsh Grief Gentle Hope
2008-03-11 05:08:00 ~ This post is in participation with The Ultimate Blog Party. ~ This book I read after the death of our son, just over three years ago, and it was probably the main book I could say, “yes, you understand what we age going through”. Harsh Grief, Gentle Hope is by Mary A. White, whose adult, married son was murdered while driving a taxi. Though the circumstances of our children’s deaths were quite different, it was a book I could relate to quite well, and shared it with several for them to understand our grief. You can read my full review here from October, 2005. A couple of things come back to me as I paged through this book: Trust the Recovery Process: It takes nearly two years following a death to gain equilibrium and stabilization in physical and emotional health. The time frame may run as high as three years following a homicide or suicide. For us, it definitely was a good two years - but probably closer to two and a half years. God’s t...
