Q BARBARA/THERESA: So, often death is a subject that's avoided or ignored. Sometimes friends of a couple will drift away when one spouse passes away. Has that occured?

When it comes to grief -- there really is no timeline. Q DENISE/PAT: So often we hear of physical SYMPTOMS accompanying grief. Stomach aches, loss of appetite, unable to Sleep. How much STRESS does GRIEF put on our Natural Defense system? ** DEPRESSION has to be a major factor.

What affect do social NETWORKS have on health? ========================== Q DENISE/PAT/THERESA: What can a child do to help a PARENT whose lost a spouse? * Talk about deceased parent * Let parent be independent, teach them a skill rather than take over household duties * Encourage a year wait before major changes like selling house, moving etc * Encourage them to develop social life INDEPENDENT of family * Develop NEW traditions *Encourage them to make a new life, and new friends * Encourage Participation in a grief support program 10-15% who lose someone very close go thru clinical Depression that may last years. Q How can a person who is Grieving help themselves? How can OTHERS help??? Q When loss is over a period of time How can family friends prepare Q Often times.in addition to funeral arrangements surviving spouses, or family members have to make decisions on FINANCIAL Affairs. Any ADVICE on that front. Are there things you can do SOONER rather than later. Q There is LIFE after losing a loved one. Q What people should know about Grief. Q BEST coping advice? |
