Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Selecting The Best Assisted Living Center For Your Parents

By Faye Graham


There is a saying that says 'nothing in this world is constant but change'. This is very true. There are so many parents from the baby boom era who are approaching that time when they are going to have to sell their houses and move into retirement homes.

The only reassuring thought about this is that the retirement homes that have been established over the past few years greatly overshadow their predecessors. This article will give you some tips that will help you help your parents make the change.

The first pointer encourages you to take as much time as possible when it comes to choosing the home. It is not one of those things that you can hasten your parents to do. They have to find a place that is to their liking and yet fits within their budget as well.

Let them have all the time in the world to sort out their things and say good bye to who they have to. If you are patient with them the move should be easier and faster than you expect.

Do not be in a hurry to get rid of the house that they lived in for so many years. They are probably more attached to it than you are and you have to bear this in mind.

Let them take the time to adequately reminisce about all the good times that they had there and to take along with them what they can.

Once the move has already been made, you will have to remember that they are not in their comfort zones. Keep on going to visit them for they are feeling so alone.

If you want to make everything easier with the new coming change the best thing you can do is be understanding and give everybody the adequate time they need.
