"The
passing of a loved one - a partner - parent - child - close
friend - is one of the most stressful and tumultuous times
in a lifetime". |
Frequently there
is shock - initial disbelief - a search for reasons and understanding
and causes. Sometimes the event is followed by debilitating
grief - sometimes by guilt that is almost overwhelming - sometimes
by both.
There are some three million deaths a year in North America.
Millions of their survivors
are affected by and experience the aftershocks. And although
each individual and family
is unique, the pattern of the survivors is very similar.
There is sadness - there may be anger - frustration over large
unplanned expenses. Generally there will always be comforting
and condolences by family - friends - clergy neighbors. Some
comforting will be genuine - some just cursory and ordinary
courtesy.
But we personally know those people - will continue
to know them. Sometimes it's difficult to share our real
feelings and thoughts and hopes for the future with them.
