One reader stated, “Helen Fitzgerald has all the experience needed to be an excellent source of what is "normal" for a teen who is grieving. There is so little out there to help a grieving teen but this book is a huge help. My daughter lost a friend 4 years ago when she was 12 and still struggles with the grieving process.

    The aboriginal play “seven stages of grieving” written by Wesley Enoch and performed by Deborah Mailman portrays the life of an indigenous woman, through culture, grieving and loss. One way the play makes connections to people and places is through language features and forms. In the episode “Murri gets a dress”, The tone of the everywoman represents her attitude and understanding of the Australian society. “You get a lot of attention, special treatment when you’re black”, the quote illustrates her satire humour approach. The tone demonstrates irony and sarcasm which exposes the discrimination and institutional racism towards Aboriginals.…

    A Woman's Wintry Death Leads To A Long Dead Friend

    Losing a loved one is never easy to accept. It is important to be reassured by the reality that the best way to honor him or her is to retain their memory in one's heart. Miss Emily Grierson in “A Rose for Emily” and Frances Dawson Hamilton, in “A Woman’s Wintry Death Leads to a Long-Dead Friend” both handle the situation of their loved partner quite differently than one usually would. Both stories “A Rose for Emily” and “A Woman’s Wintry Death Leads to a Long-Dead Friend” lead to nearly the same resolution, but they have many differences and similarities throughout to make them unique and interesting.…

    Hnc Social Care

    Grief is a normal response to loss, this is the emotional roller coaster of feeling one gets when something or someone that an individual loves has been taken away for them. This can also be due to a loss the individual may have as well. The word grief to most people is associated with a death of a family member, partner or child, but this is not always the case. Grieving can be a connection with a wide range of different losses throughout that people’s life. These can be unemployment: losing a job you have had for years, ill health: losing the mobility to parts of your body or even the loss of your hair if you have cancer can cause grieving, the end of a relationship as well, meaning divorce with someone you were married to doer several years and had many memories with. Even little things we may associate in our day to day life might be a bigger grieving process for others just such as the loss of a purse when out shopping, a family pet you have had for years, the change of environment or having to move house. Women having their menopause stage will feel a big loss as the feeling of old age has kicked in and can become depressed through this. Loss can be categorised to be physical or abstract meaning physical to be something the individual can measure or touch for example this is losing a partner or family member, whereas abstract the loss here are in the individuals social interactions for example freedom, not being able to go or do anything like go outside on their own. It just shows that the many ways we lose something can trigger grief within us.…

    Book Review of The Worst Hard Times by Timothy Egan

    When you consider the disaster of the American Dust Bowl of the Dirty Thirties on the Great Plains, no wonder Stephen Long of 1821 concluded that the American West was “almost wholly unfit for cultivation, and of course uninhabitable by a people depending upon agriculture for their subsistence.”1 It seems that Timothy Egan’s book, The Worst Hard Times, hit the nail right on the head as to the cause of the worst natural disaster that the United States has ever experienced. The great dusters of the Dirty Thirties occurred because of the United States Government’s encouragement to over-farm the Great Plains during the early twentieth century, particularly during the Great War and the 1920’s. When you take into account this foolhardy encouragement to the homesteaders and their family farms it is only natural that the homesteaders share in the blame.…

Loss can come in many disguises from the easily recognisable bereavement, to redundancy, children leaving home, divorce, relocation, disfigurement, chronic illness, miscarriage, loss of a close pet, abortion and others. When a client presents for Counselling, it is vital to be alert for losses, both recent and historical, to check if there are unresolved issues because grief can be easily missed or misinterpreted. Chrysalis (2012) states that there are two ways in which a therapist will encounter the need to work with loss and grief. These are:…
