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?

What Parents Need to Know About Trauma In Children

By Allen Cardoza


Allen Cardoza and Dr. Melody Foxx on L.A. Talk Radio discussed trauma in children with Caelan Kuban, the Director of The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children.

Topics discussed included how a teen can be potentially exposed to trauma and the differences between grief and trauma. The interview also discussed why trauma should be considered a sensory experience rather than a diagnosis.

Parents and other adults can help children and youth following a traumatic experience. Kuban provided essential therapeutic information about how they can help children and youth who have experienced, or are currently experiencing, a traumatic life situation.

Participants leave Kuban's workshops feeling energized and inspired to work with at-risk and traumatized youth. Kuban, LMSW, is the Director of The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC), which is a program of the Starr Institute for Training. She has trained professionals working across the country and provided training on how to deal with traumatized children and families. She has been called an excellent teacher and passionate workshop trainer.

The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC), achieves its mission to bring out the best in every traumatized child by working to create the kind of environment where children can flourish.

Over 50,000 trauma professionals have been trained by TLC since 1990. Thousands of enthusiastic professionals and clients have given testimony.

Every day more than 5,000 TLC Certified Trauma and Loss School Specialists and Clinical Specialists provide TLC interventions and resources to children, adolescents, families, schools and other organizations.

The value of TLC school and agency based programs is supported by published evidence-based research.

It wasn't until 1990 that TLC identified childhood trauma as the root cause of behavior issues that were beyond the reach of traditional cognitive therapies.

TLC training programs are in place in more than 3,000 places, including schools, community-based programs, treatment centers and childcare facilities across North America and overseas.
