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?

Ways to Cope with Grief and Loss

By Jennifer Catigan


There are a lot of events that occur in our lives. Some of them may be events that we could treasure for the remainder of our lives and some of them may just be nerve-wrangling events that we wished never occurred in our lives. Stressful life events may come in the form of the loss of something or somebody dear to us, traumatic and really tragic events that have occurred in our lives which has considerably influenced our emotional state of mind. According to a local Vancouver grief counsellor, these happenings are only some potential or risk factors that could alter or perhaps harm the individual's mental fitness.

Take this example as an example; you lost your dad who died in a vehicular accident. The primary mental response that you're going to feel is grief, to the limit that you're going to feel so sad about the matter. The person who is afflicted with grief usually undergoes 5 stages till that person has learned to accept what has already happened. These 5 stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and ultimately acknowledgment.

According to a grief counsellor, depression is present in the remainder of the stages since it's a extremely common stress reply of the individual. Depression is an extremely commonplace response of a person who has felt grief because of some stressful events that has occurred in ones life. Furthermore, depression is extremely tough to treat, most especially if the person is not willing to move on with their life.

So as to be fully recovered from grief, or so as to achieve acknowledgment in a short period of time the individual must take account of taking up psychotherapy sessions.

There are a lot of mental therapies that would help you reduce the pain and grief that you are feeling. In the event you have experienced a loss or are suffering from grief...contact a local counsellor to see how they can help!
