BEREAVEMENT COUNSELLING Statistically there appears to be a growing demand for bereavement counselling, and officially admittedly very poor training in it. Introduction Mourning, grieving, bereavement.. words synonymous to the lay person... Loss of someone dear..  so painful, that it has found its way to lay dream interpretations as symbolising predicted sorrow. Death's pain has always moved the lay person and the specialist alike -literarily as well as academically and  professionally.  The lay person, varying from culture to culture, has his traditions; the specialist, his researches and theories ~places are named after the dead and investigations carried into of out-of-body experiences -whether death is considered sad or joyous, physical or spiritual.. the interest continues, grows -whether the bond is broken with the dead or not those left behind are seriously affected by a need to adjust to the changes caused. "If we go to the root of it," has said Dag Hammerskjold, "it is our concept of death that decides our answers to all the questions which life poses."  Jung agrees that "(...) when a human life comes to an end before our eyes.. the question of the meaning and worth of life never becomes more urgent..." "...or agonising..." adds Jung ~and agree the composer and the poet and the story-teller,  as do the scientist and the monk -for Laing only hints at the effect: "You'll cry, when I die; you'll yawn, when I'm gone; you'll be bored, unadored."

search ABC of health health news healthy living medicines ... A-Z of health Bereavement What is bereavement? Bereavement means, literally, to be deprived by death. After someone close to you dies, you go through a process of mourning. Grief is the visible sign of that mourning and encompasses a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms that you experience after a loss. Bereavement is not restricted to people who have lost someone they have known for a long time. It is also experienced by people who have had stillbirths, miscarriages or lost a young baby. Is it normal to grieve? Grief is vital in order to accept a deep loss and carry on with your life. If you do not grieve at the time of death, or shortly after, you may keep the grief bottled up inside you. This may cause emotional problems or physical illness later on. Working through your grief can be a painful process, but it makes all the difference to your future emotional and physical well-being. What are the stages of grief?

Changes to This Summary (03/19/2003) Overview Health care providers will encounter grieving individuals throughout their personal and professional lives.[ ] The progression from the final stages of cancer to the death of a loved one is experienced in different ways by different individuals. In fact, one may find that the cancer experience, although it is difficult and trying, has led to significant personal growth. Coping with death is usually not an easy process and cannot be dealt with in a "cookbook" fashion. The way in which a person will grieve depends on the personality of the grieving individual and his or her relationship with the person who died. The cancer experience, the manner of disease progression, one's cultural and religious beliefs, coping skills and psychiatric history, the availability of support systems, and one's socioeconomic status also affect how a person will cope with grief. Distinguishing between the following terms is important: grief, mourning, and bereavement. These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, yet often with different intentions.[

This and other credible information about cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoing clinical trials, is available from the National Cancer Institute. The passage from the final stage of cancer to the death of a loved one is different for everyone. This summary describes loss, grief, and bereavement, the stages of grief, and methods for coping with grief. This summary also includes sections on children and grief. Overview People cope with the loss of a loved one in many ways. For some, the experience may lead to personal growth, even though it is a difficult and trying time. There is no right way of coping with death. The way a person grieves depends on the personality of that person and the relationship with the person who has died. How a person copes with grief is affected by the experience with cancer, the way the disease progressed, the person's cultural and religious background, coping skills, mental history, support systems, and the person's social and financial status. The terms grief, bereavement, and mourning are often used in place of each other, but they have different meanings.

The Royal College of Psychiatrists Charity Registration Number 228636 Contents: Introduction Grieving Children and adolescents How can friends and relatives help? ... Search Bereavement is a distressing but common experience. Sooner or later most of us will suffer the death of someone we love. Yet in our everyday life we think and talk about death very little, perhaps because we encounter it less often than our grandparents did. For them, the death of a brother or sister, friend or relative, was a common experience in their childhood or teenage years. For us, these losses usually happen later in life. So, we do not have much of a chance either to learn about grieving - how it feels, what are the right things to do, what is 'normal' - or to come to terms with it. In spite of this we have to cope when we are finally faced with the death of someone we love. In this leaflet you will find information about some of the ways in which people grieve after such a loss, about the ways in which bereaved people can get stuck in the grieving process, and the help available. Grieving takes place after any sort of loss, but most powerfully after the death of someone we love. It is not just one feeling, but a whole succession of feelings, which take a while to get through and which cannot be hurried.

Feeling numb, stunned and dazed are healthy and normal reactions. Often, it is difficult to “take in” information. The appetite may disappear. People often feel completely exhausted, yet unable to sleep. The reverse may occur where people sleep most of the time. Feelings may range from fear and anxiety to guilt and depression. There are times some may feel they are going crazy. It is healthy to express true feelings in this stage. Some people find relief in crying and/or talking to others. Searching and Yearning. Disorientation and Disorganization. The appetite is poor, people lack motivation, have impaired judgment and experience insomnia. As the bereaved struggle to be relieved of disorientation there is a search to find the answer that feels right to them. A listening ear is the greatest gift to the bereaved. Society expects mourners to be healed quickly and support is often lacking after a short time. Others tend to avoid talking about the person who has died, when that is the thing that helps the bereaved most. During disorientation the self-image is lowered and the mourner often isolates himself/herself from others.

Coping with loss.Category Health Mental Health Articles and Research......How to cope with grief and bereavement. My thanks goes to all who helped mein discussions of what grief and bereavement can mean to a person. http://www.york-united-kingdom.co.uk/funerals/grief/

What is grief? When grieving due to a loss or bereavement there are considered to be 5 stages In this document I am simply outlining what my experience of grieving for a loved one has meant to me. Grieving is a very personal experience for everyone. No one human can or should tell you how to grieve. That is not the intent here. I hope this will help you identify what you are feeling. Also it is to let you know you are not alone with how you are feeling. I found it very helpful to have caring people around me to help me. At some time in life we all feel loss and must find a way to cope with it. If you have greived for someone and wish to add your experiences here so as to help others understand, please do not hesitate to Email us. 1) DENIAL In the denial stage we refuse to believe what has happened. We try in our mind to tell ourselves that life is as it was before our loss. We can even make believe to an extent by re enacting rituals that we used to go through with our loved one. Making an extra cup of tea for our loved one who is no longer there, rushing back to tell someone that you have met an old friend. Flashing back to times and conversations in the past as though they we here with us now. They can all be part of this stage. 2) ANGER We get angry. The anger can manifest itself in many ways. We can blame others for our loss. We can become easily agitated having emotional outbursts. We can even become angry with ourselves. Care must be taken here not to turn this anger inwards. Release of this anger is a far better way to cope with grief in my experience.

Three key concepts thanatologists employ to understand thoseaffected by the death of others are bereavement, grief, and mourning. http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/death-6.html

P ERSONAL I MPACTS OF D EATH When a person is born, we rejoice, and when they're married, we jubilate, but when they die, we try to pretend that nothing happened. Margaret Mead Odd as it sounds, there can be little question that some deaths are better than others. People cross-culturally have always made invidious distinctions between good deaths and bad. Compare, for instance, crooner Bing Crosby's sudden death following eighteen rounds of his beloved golf with the slow motion, painful expiration of an eighty-year-old diabetic. Bedridden following the amputation of his leg, the old man eventually began slipping in and out of consciousness. This continues over a period of years, exhausting the emotional, physical. and financial resources of his family. The essence of a "good death" thus involves the needs of the dying (such as coming at the end of full and completed lives, and when death is preferred to continued existence) as well as those of their survivors and the broader society. Whereas the prevalence of unanticipated and premature deaths led to preindustrial cultures to focus death fears on individuals' postmortem fates, the death fears of modern cultures are more likely to focus on the processes of dying. Thus contemporary fears of dying involve the anxieties of dying within institutional settings, where often life is structured for the convenience of staff and where residents suffer both physical and psychological pain in their depersonalization. They also involve fears of being victims of advanced Alzheimer's Disease: being socially dead and yet biologically alive. In sum, the dreaded liminality between the worlds of the living and the dead have historically shifted from the period after death to the period preceding it.

The main initial responses to a death - even one that has long been expected - are disbelief, shock and anger. These may lessen in time and can be followed by a sense of guilt, depression, anxiety and despair. You may also feel an acute sense of longing for the dead person, hopelessness at the thought of their absence, loneliness and sadness at their loss or even a sense of relief that they are gone (which may, in turn, lead to feelings of guilt). Some physical symptoms experienced after bereavement can be quite acute and distressing. It is important to realise that these are normal parts of the grieving process and will pass in time. Physical reactions may include:

Bereavement, Grief, Memorials Sherri lost her 8-1/2 month struggle with Leukemia and bone marrow transplant.Category Health Conditions and Diseases Personal Pages...... whys' and battled our guilt, and survived those griefstricken years order forms aredisplayed on ‘interest tables' at many bereavement conferences throughout http://home.earthlink.net/~saland/

'LOVED AND REMEMBERED' Sherri Alise Landsman Personalized Memorial Tributes After The Death, and In Memory, of a Loved-One Dear Bereaved Family, We are so sorry for the loss that has affected your lives. Our 23-year old daughter, Sherri, died December 2, 1990, after her 8-1/2 month struggle with leukemia and bone marrow transplant. As bereaved parents, we are always looking for ways to keep 'alive' her memory and her name. While driving in my car one day, I imagined the car in front of me bearing a bumper-sticker with Sherri's name on it. I then envisioned other cars bearing a 'monument' to other loved-ones whom have passed on. It was with that visualization and many tears that the 'Loved and Remembered' Bumper-Stickers evolved. We then created Return Address Labels and Note Cards with Sherri's picture on them for our own use, and were asked by other families to make these items available for them also. We created these tributes with love and in our daughter's memory, and continue to keep the costs as low as possible, to 'give back' to our bereaved family community. We hope that these personalized memorials on the following pages bring a level of comfort to you, your family, and your friends, in helping to keep your loved-one's memory and name 'alive'. Following the order forms for the memorial tributes is "Odyssey of a Bereaved Parent" (on page 5) which contains my thoughts and poems since our daughter's death. I think you will be able to relate to some of my writings as you travel your journey of grief. Please feel free to print this out and make any copies and distribute if you wish.
