As I shared time with people of all ages and conditions I have found a commonality in their thinking ....... Fear, Anger, Love, Happiness, Giving, Lonesomeness and Guilt are a few of the ingredients that transform us from the person we were to the one we are becoming.
There are times when our mind cannot separate one form of reality from another and allow one or more of these conditions to increase in strength causing confusion and worry.
The same can be said for people grieving. Reading the above once more try to see how it might apply to a person who is grieving.
Bill Robson C.A.E., ATM gained his experience in grief as a
- Grief Counselor
- Distress Telephone Centre Trainer
- Hospice Volunteer
- Group Facilitator, Bereavement
- Youth & Family Counseling
There are resources in most communities, send me a quick note and I will do some homework, sending you information. You can also seek out your local volunteer bureau for a list of organizations.
