Advance Directives
A good advance directive describes the kind of treatment you would want to receive for different levels of illness. For example, the directives would describe what kind of care you would want if you have a critical illness, a terminal illness or permanent unconsciousness. Learn More. 

Suggestions for Coping With Anger
It is important to acknowledge the anger and to find ways to deal with it constructively.  In the old days we performed hard physical labor which helped to bleed off stored-up anger. 

Anniversary of the Death
Anniversary of Death is So Painful….But it does get better. Tips on dealing with this day.

Feelings of Attachment Can Boost Health
Today, the phrase 'getting connected' means having a better, more static-free cell phone than the next guy. It  means having a faster Internet connection, with a superior cable system. But is that what getting connected is all about? Not according to mental health experts... 

Types of Grief Avoidance
The postponer is the person who believes that if you delay the expression of your grief over time it will hopefully go away.  Which one are you? 

Difficulties with Loss
Why People Fail to Grieve Completely?
Sometimes it is complicated to understand individuals who fail to express grief.  It is important to realize that some individuals grieve in their own time or in private. 

Dying
Dying is unique to the individual. No two people have the same life experiences or the same inner resources to deal with the vagaries of life and its inevitable end. However, being aware of what people who confront death have in common can be of benefit to those who care for them throughout the dying process. 

Coping as a Family
Communication is the key to coping and growing as a family through grief.  It is important to be together to talk, cry, rage, or even sit in silence.  At the same time there should be respect for each member’s way of handling their grief. 

What Griever's Want
How long does it take to recover after someone you love has died? 
When should a person begin to "get on with their lives?" 
Do you think it's better to mention the deceased's name to the grieving person or to avoid mentioning the name so that you won't make that person cry? 

Guilt
Guilt is one of the most powerful emotions around.  It holds us in bondage, isolates us and alters how we look at the world.  Guilt allows for no forgiveness. Guilt makes us feel like we are bad. 

A Plan For Intentional Grieving
Set aside a time each day to grieve privately.  Use photos, letters, mementos, or any definite reminder as aids in promoting memories. 

Do You Know Your Medical Rights?
You have the right to confidential treatment of your medical records. FALSE. While doctors may try to preserve confidentiality, there are no laws at the federal level saying they have to. 

Stages of Grief
Remember that no one grieves in this order but often jumps in and out of stages before ever reaching a place in their life where happiness and peace is a norm.
