Are You Grieving?
2008-05-05 14:30:00 Are you grieving over the loss of a loved one? Whether you are around friends, family, acquaintances, or strangers, understand that grieving is a natural and normal part of life. If you are grieving and are having trouble being with others, here are a few ways to better deal with your loss. Grieving is a natural part of life – we grieve when we lose something we love.For some reason, in the West, we deal with grieving, death and dying, as unspeakable subjects. It is as though we think if we don’t talk about them, they will go away. But they don’t go away because they are inherent in life; the cycle of birth and death rages on. Every death – the death of a loved one, the losing of a job, the ending of a relationship, even though it might have been dysfunctional, - summons up every other death. Judith Rossner says in her book August, “After the first death, there is no other.” There is no “normal” timeframe to stop grieving – the grievi...
Grieving Mothers on Mothers Day...
2008-04-26 10:36:00 Photo from Bring The Rain Blog. The Story of Audrey CarolineI know I said I am going to do a Mothers Day series. I know I said I will start next week.

I don't know ... flowers may help ... but it will never suffice. Hugs? yes, but they still would not be their child's hugs...I'm thinking of the wife of my co-worker whose son died on a motorcycle accident this year. It's her only son.

What To Say To A Grieving Friend...
2008-03-03 01:49:00 I have shared with you about my blogging friend Beth losing her twin boys to a still birth.Today, I feel the pain of her grieving as I read her post here. I wanted to say something but didn't know what... Then, I had these words to say, which I believe God led me to say to her:It is not without a reason or purpose that the verse "JESUS WEPT" is written in the Bible. Jesus wept when Lazarus died even though Jesus knows He will raise him up from the dead. Jesus knows our sorrows. He felt it. He felt the pain of every grieving heart. Weep my friend if you need too. Jesus understands. And like Lazarus, your twin baby boys will be raise to be with us all when all of us believers go to heaven. As another Bible verse says "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning". When you have a friend who's grieving, please remind them that it's ok to weep. Jesus did.

The Process of Grieving
2007-12-28 04:23:00 The Journal of the American Medical Association [February 21, 2007?Vol 297, No. 7] published an important article on grief, Maciejewski et al (2007). While it's hardly definitive research, it represents an exciting trend in research that I've seen in recent years. Researchers seem more willing to take some risks with the rigor of their research models to produce information that is immediately relevant to practice. While, we are a long way from having clear guidance towards an evidenced-based practice in psychotherapy, testing models in active use in the field provides immediately useful information. Grief is one of the most common issues that emerge in psychotherapy. Grief unfolds in a purposive and meaningful way from the first awareness of loss. The grief process guides us through the painful reassessment and renegotiation of our needs and goals. What that process entails appears to have not been researched empirically before Maciejewski et al (2007) made their ground breaking...

Grieving the Death of My Dog (Part 3)
2007-12-04 20:17:00 My husband, son, and I took Murphy to the vet. Dr. O asked if I wanted to be with Murphy when they gave her the injection that would end her life. I said I did and my son said he did as well. Dr. O asked if I wanted her to give Murph a sedative. I said I wanted her to do whatever was most humane.Dr. O took Murphy in the back and put in an IV. They returned a few minutes later. The doctor brought a blanket and I sat on it with Murphy--hugging her, kissing her, and telling her how much I loved her--for the last time.The injections only took a few minutes. Murphy died while I embraced her. I was able to do for my dog what I couldn't do for my mother.
Grieving the Death of My Dog (Part 2)
2007-12-03 09:01:00 Seven weeks ago when we had to board both of our dogs in order to attend my son's college orientation, I was afraid that Murphy might die while we were gone. Although she didn't look sickly, she'd lost a lot of weight. "I don't want her to die without me," I told my husband, "but I want to focus on Alex's big event." So I vowed to put Murph in the back of my mind and I hoped she would remain well during our absence.Three days later, when I arrived at the kennel to pick up the dogs, Murphy was so glad to see me that she licked my face until I had to dry it with a handkerchief. I laughed aloud; I was relieved and grateful. A few weeks later, I put my mother on hospice. On Wednesday, they told me my mother would probably live until Saturday. On Thursday I talked with the head hospice nurse. "Is there is any possibility my mother might die tonight?" I asked,"because if there is, I will sleep here. I have my pajamas." "No, she has a few days left," the nurse replied. "Are you sure?...
Grieving the Death of a Dog (Part 1)
2007-12-02 22:53:00 Two months ago on a Sunday morning when Murphy, our ten-year-old black lab, awakened, she had five cysts on her front left leg. They were aligned in a straight row, and unlike other cysts she'd had, they were hard, and appeared over night.I immediately called our vet but because it was a Sunday, we couldn't bring her in until the following day. That afternoon, I went online to research Murphy's symptoms. Everything I read suggested it was cancer. But Murphy seemed so healthy.The next morning, our vet said he'd never seen anything quite like it but he needed a biopsy to be sure. "The fluid is black," he told us. "That's not a good sign.""Is it cancer?" I asked."Probably," he answered.Five days later his diagnosis was confirmed. It was a virulent form of melanoma. I was visiting my dying mother when the vet called and told my husband that Murphy would be dead within one to three months. "This kind of cancer doesn't respond to chemotherapy or radiation," he said. "It's aggressiv...

Grieving for the Death of the Family
2007-10-01 00:00:00 For both parents and children, divorce is like a death. It is the death of the family unit. As with any death, family members will go through distinct stages of grief on their road to recovery. This is the final of four basic principles of divorce that we have been discussing since August 9, 2007 (see our previous posts). Experts say divorce is the most traumatic life event that can occur, after the death of a parent or child. Divorce entails many losses, some obvious and some not. When you divorce you bury: hopes and dreams for the future the love and stability of a secure relationship your identity as a husband or wife for many, a comfortable lifestyle and secure financial future for some, home, school, church and the stability of a known community supportive relationships with friends and neighbors the affections of your spouse's family Recovery from divorce takes time and tremendous personal adjustment for you, your spouse, your children and your families. Each loss must be ack...

The views and opinions expressed are not necessarily shared by GoodTherapy.org. In our lifetimes, few of us escape the pain of grief over losing a loved one. Many of us experience this pain a number of times. In fact, the more full and engaged one’s life is the more one runs the risk of this kind of loss. Even if we somehow were never to lose a human friend or family member, any pet owner knows that it is one of nature’s ironies that our beloved pets have a shorter average life span than we do. Whenever we give our hearts to other beings we know that those same hearts may be shattered when our dear ones leave or die. Some people refuse to take this kind of risk, attempting to solve the problem by not allowing in the feeling of love inside in the first place. But a life without loving connection lacks r...
