Living a life half

After the death of my husband and I are enclosed in an emotional shell. A hard shell cocoon, nothing's untouchable. I wanted to be numb, I wanted to be left alone. Many days my self-imposed prison made me want to be loved by someone. Some days I lived and breathed in memory. God kept me breathing when perhaps I took for granted. And 'sank in the morning when I woke up and wondered what to do with the rest of my life. I decided I probably had another forty years to go. Where do I go from here?

I heard an overwhelming lack of interest in life and in life. I had three boys, so I put one foot before the other and took care of things they should do. My children are my first priority. I was and am so lucky to have them. Yet, I felt bad that they lost their father. My youngest was ten, and I just wanted a few days retreat and hide in a corner of sadness. But I have not. I decided, subconsciously, my children need me to be straight and unbroken then I needed to deformation.

I avoided people sometimes because I want to talk about and, therefore, deal with my pain. I no longer knew who I was, now that I was alone. And I felt very lonely and isolated even from family. Isolation myself, I just wanted to be left alone. Sometimes others do not know what to say. It 's just the way it was.

I read with gratitude cards and letters to friends and family. Many of them wrote about what my husband meant to them, and expressed their sorrow for his death. Those were the letters that meant so much.

I felt awkward acquaintances with my pain, but there was nothing I could do beyond trying to alleviate their discomfort with my sense of caring.

Gradually I grew into my life, a new life where I won a place for me. Over time, I grew to enjoy life again. Some days when I thought I had progressed so far, I would suddenly go into a depressive state of mind. I hated when that happened and I think tried to analyze why it happened, but some days it just came naturally and pulled me down.

About three and a half years after my husband passed, I began to feel a significant relief of my mind, as if I suddenly found new purpose in my life. I made some updates and had reached the point where I decided to allow myself not to meet men who were not in the same mental space and emotional like me.

In four years, I knew I had made for myself this long, I will continue to be only until the right partner has arrived. No more running into dead end relationships. My writing career has taken new life, giving me a sense of purpose once more. I really started to enjoy my life as I developed new friends and tries to work interesting.

Just the lament in me protested that my situation has become quiet and almost content. Somehow, I missed some steps in recent years and made my life mine. I'm proud of myself that I went and where I go. It 'was an interesting and totally unpredictable journey, a journey I expect to improve every day.

Attitudes toward death and dying

Death and dying has always been an interesting topic to understand and interpret. Each person has his own vision of death and the attitude towards it. However, society as a main influencer has a huge impact on people's perception of death. The attitudes of society towards death have changed over time. Fear has always been one of the most common attitudes towards death. However, today's society has developed many other attitudes.

1. Attitudes towards death change over a period of a person's life.

When a child is born he or she does not understand what it means death. The concept of death (it is inevitable, all living things die and we will die some day) should be developed to include death and have an attitude about him. When people just begin to understand death trying to disagree with it and believe that they can resist. As the person grows and the concept of death has already developed the death becomes a natural thing and considered totally different. People do not try to discuss the meaning of death.

A number of scholars examined the theme of death.

a) Sigmund Freud has recognized that people have difficulty with people dying.

b) Abram Rosenblatt found that when people remember their mortality react more harshly toward moral transgressors and become more well disposed towards those who defend their values.

c) Thomas Aquinas said that people are afraid of death, not only when you feel his presence, but even when they think about it.

The ability to understand the reality of death and realize its impact on us, the ability to discuss our fears about death helps to fully live our lives.

2. American society is going to deny the reality of death. This is why people always get confused with questions of death. In the Middle Ages, people in the western world was approaching death in the most natural way than today. Technology has separated the West from the fundamentals of their biological existence that led to the reality of death is obscured (Foos-Graber, 1989, p. 6).

Recently, the theme of death was raised in a large U.S. role was played by the media that covers all the "dead important." facts have been reported not only death but also the emotional side was raised generally. Another thing that makes one think of death and fear is the emergence of HIV / AIDS.

The only way to show the dead people is through television. Many have no real experience dealing with the death of close relative or a loved one. So when it happens people do not know how to deal with. Another aspect that the person perceived the effects of death is his religious belief or disbelief. Different religions view death differently. People of different professions also view death differently. A medical worker may view death as a professional failure, while, for example, an artist wants us emotionally and may even be inspired to dedicate something to the person who died. Another thing that effects the perception and attitudes toward death are the circumstances of death. There would be a completely different position of "good death" (when an older person dies) and a death of a teenager in a car accident.

Our society now views the death of a child as more traumatic than the death of an adult. This because it is rare in the United States to die young. It could be argued that while the social birth often precedes physical birth, this is reversed with the elderly, their status decreases with age. Similarly, the lethal disease also suffer from 'social death', where others tend more to go. 'There are many ways in which people can approach their own and others' death, but nobody chooses their approach independently of the others' (Mulhall, 1996).

To fully live our lives we must live our lives as if we knew we only had a few days of life. Aquinas describes the fear of death people making the statement, "Man (woman) prevent death, not only when he (or she) feels his presence, but he (she) thinks," (Choron , 1964, p. 71).

Death from diarrhea - New Mutant Bacteria Invades Hospitals

Sounds like a science fiction scenario? - Unfortunately it is too real. A new and very virulent mutant pathogen has infected patients in hospitals in at least 38 states. Because infection with these bacteria are not reported in many states, the incidence of infection is probably increasing at a pace much faster than has been recognized. Notifications were sent by the CDC and other offices responsible for communicable disease control in the U.S. This new epidemic strain of bacteria resistant to antibiotics is now suddenly ranked with MRSA or methicillin-resistant aureas aureus (aka staph) as the top 2 potentially fatal infection that can be contracted during a hospital visit.

What is this new bacteria? In reality it is a common bacterium (bug) that caused diarrhea in older patients with treatable nursing homes and hospitals for years. Clostridium difficile or C.diff. is transmitted through contact with fecal matter, usually from hand or food to the mouth. C.diff related diarrhea occurs most commonly as a result of using antibiotics. When antibiotics are used they kill some good bacteria in your body that usually keeps the bad bacteria like C.diff from flourishing. (C.diff is resistant to multiple antibiotics) Ironically, when you are attacked by C.diff because of anti-antibiotics you are taking - you must take a specific anti-biotic to kill C.diff flourishing. Here-in lies the new problem. A mutant strain of C.diff called NAP1/027 resists all antibiotics, anti-bacteria and this is more toxic. C.diff produces spores when it senses that it is under attack by antibiotics and these spores are not easily killed by cleaning products usually used to clean hospitals. These C.diff spores can remain on hospital surfaces for months and can contaminate food and everything it touches by the hospital staff or patients. Contracting C.diff, especially the NAP1 strain can lead to uncontrolled bouts of diarrhea, up to 50 per day, and can lead to more serious, imagine something more serious, like C.difficile associated disease (CDAD) and chronic problems of colon.

What can I do? Not much. But here are some things that can help prevent infection:

1) Avoid the overuse of antibiotics. Ask your doctor if antibiotics, particularly the anti-biotic, which has been associated with CDAD, is really necessary for treatment. Anti-biotic overuse is a major reason that these bacteria resistant mutants.

2) Wash hands thoroughly before putting something in his mouth, especially after visiting a hospital or nursing home.

3) Wear surgical gloves when caring for patients with CDAD or diarrhea.

4) Do not let the serious cases of diarrhea should be treated by a doctor. Unfortunately, common diarrhea medicines may make c.diff worst infection by blocking the bacteria wash effect of diarrhea. C.diff infections call for more than over-the-counter drugs.

5) If you suspect a problem, call your doctor, especially if you develop diarrhea after tending to a patient or visiting a hospital.

Religious Perspectives of Death

Death, both the living and the dying, means many different things. In a sense, the meaning is different from person to person but many times our thoughts are based on our religion. Every religion in the world has their own opinion on the death, the process of dying, and what is done after death. These perspectives help those who believe make death more acceptable. Many credit their faith with helping them to cope with a problem of mortality and others look to their faith, to help them understand the passing of those they love. Pain is a powerful feeling and how we deal with it can have a lot to do with our faith.

The Christian perspective

The grieving process is usually led by the Christian scriptures from the Bible, because there are statements like: "There is a time to be born and a time to die." This gives believers the knowledge that we all have our time. For Christians, death is part of life and many Christians believe it is their duty to take care of the dying as they wait for Jesus to return. Christians have a great variety of beliefs after death, but most believe that death is just another part of the journey as we experience eternal life until you believe in Jesus Christ.

The Islamic point of view

Pain in the Islamic faith is something that involves dying person and those around him or her. When someone is dying in this faith is for the friends and family to gather around the sick person and help them remember their commitment to God Muslims believe that death is the will of Allah. After death the body is washed and wrapped in a shroud. There are specific prayers to be said and the body should be on the right opposite the direction of Mecca. In Islam the family must pay the debts of a deceased shortly after death, as they anticipate the person being judged after death and want the process to be as favorable as possible. Mourning in this faith is often accompanied by constant prayer, charity, fasting and pilgrimage.

The Hindu Perspective

Many people have commented over the centuries that managing pain seems much easier for the people of this faith. While this may or may not be true, it could be because those who practice this religion believe in rebirth and reincarnation of souls. Practitioners believe that death is simply part of the experience, and that after a time the soul rule and return to fitness again. There are two paths to take the soul after death, the sun's path and the path of the moon. Those who take the path of the sun will never return again, but those who take the path of the moon will return. Many different rites have been practiced for thousands of years and can help with the process of grief.

The Buddhist perspective

The Buddhist perspective of death is very interesting and is said to make the pain is so annoying for those who have suffered damage. Practitioners of this faith do not look at death as a sad event, rather than breaking the material world and material that are made. A Buddhist believes that awakens the soul at death. Before his death, friends and family as being with the person to help them achieve the right mood as they go into death. One needs to think of death as their rebirth in another, and perhaps more, the kingdom that the human world can offer.

The Jewish point of view

Not unlike Christians, those who are Jews tend to regard death as a natural experience. Many Jews believe that death and gives life more meaning, because we know that we all die Sometimes we spend each day living life as pure and ethical as possible. Unlike many faiths, Judaism is a bit 'different in that they do not believe that all believers simply go to heaven or hell according to their beliefs or lack thereof. Instead, each individual will be judged on their ethical behavior throughout life. For this reason, Jewish people view death as natural, but their Final Judgement by God

Religious perspective and Managing Grief

As you can see, each religion has its own take on death and this perspective is often what gives people the chance to get through the loss of their loved ones and still have a zest for life. While religion can contribute to comfort those who are left behind after death, does not mean that the loss of a loved one to be easy. Suffering, no matter what faith you believe is a very real and necessary experience of death for those who are still alive. Try to comfort yourself with faith based on knowledge, but also allow yourself to get depression and grief counseling if you think you need, or just a lot of people support.

The Mothers of Section Sixty

Come every Sunday with their flowers and beach chairs, their photos and memories of times gone by, sit by the beloved headstones that mark the last resting place of their warrior sons or daughters, these women of Section Sixty. Despite the fact that Arlington National Cemetery has strict rules regarding decorating trees that stand out among the headstones, or leaving pictures and sweet memories to the tombs, these mothers leave them, however, knowing that in a week or two, or three, will be swept away by stewards of the land, and then return with new pictures, new flowers, new love.

The cemetery has become a meeting place for the tears of mothers who lost children in the current battle in America, and also to share sympathy, love, strength and courage. They meet each other next to the family graves, waving 'hello' to those who are sweetly familiar to the heart, leaving only those that appear to need their privacy - those who have eyes and heart open just one voice, image a heart - the heart of him laying in the ground.

Mothers who return week after week with little rituals - one with a newspaper that writes in another with balloons to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, with a third letter, a toy or a small gift from a child just old Just remember that lost - a sister or brother who is growing with a legend instead of a living being. These young people still do not understand death, and still know what is reverence without knowing what the word means. They know enough to leave their offers little in the hands of mothers transmitting the headstones, messages from loved ones will never know.

A mother came a week for the last three years. She is the oldest member of the group on Sunday. She says that, when asked about the special balloons led, that is the birthday of his son, the third since his death. Who thought it would be easier to get three years later, but got more difficult, because only now is she beginning to realize the purpose of all this. But now she is feeling that he never came back. As he tells one of the other women - as both sit and look at each other and the vast sea of white headstones marking the endless rows of graves - as you said, a tear slips on her face. Just a single tear. All the tears of the past are now rolled into this.

The woman speaks in silence. Understands in silence. She nods silently. He sits and watches the flowers placed at the base of the stone - yellow and white daisies and a pair of white and pink carnations tied with ribbon for a florist. Speak to the heart in this sea of solemn markers. They talk about love, memory, a bond that is truly known only to the heart of a mother.

Sixty mothers of each section carries the threads of the relationship forward in the way only she knows how to defeat death, allowing, in fact, insisting that love is stronger than death and that therefore the relationship goes on and off as needed, as it should.

This tribute to love is eternal and unfathomable. And 'endless and deep as the ocean is deep. Through summer, autumn, winter and spring, it survives all that denies everything that would try to put in a box and put it on a shelf somewhere. Instead, these mothers remain fierce warrior in their devotion to their children, to each other, the life of his heart. They remain in their fierce determination to remember, never forget to allow embers of love never die.

This is their gift without end, the gift that allows love to triumph over death, and they give it willingly, with joy, with an inner need that is ultimately convincing. More and more give this gift until the tire body and close your eyes, and even then, the heart continues to remember.

Its not just life insurance death

We know the obvious reason for the purchase of life insurance, and is to leave money behind for our loved ones to cover the funeral and burial expenses, to care for unpaid debts we leave behind, to act as an additional income until they can get back on their feet again, and to pay for future expenses, such as medical expenses and education. Many people choose not to think about, let alone purchase a life insurance policy, they do not want to think about the eventual and inevitable death. However, many people fail to understand that life insurance policies can be used except in the event of your death. They can be used while you are alive.

Depending on the type of life insurance policy that purchase, you may be able to "cash in" on your life insurance policy. This means you can take the money when you and your family needs during your life, rather than after your death. For example, you may find yourself in financial difficulties due to job loss or other unexpected emergency. Rather than suffer financially, you can collect your life insurance policy. The money you receive can act as an additional income up to find a new job, or can pay for any emergency that caused the financial tension.

Do not push the thoughts of purchasing a life insurance policy to the back of your mind just because you do not want to think of your death. Life insurance policies can be used during your life, too. Remember, life insurance policies can be cashed in case you find yourself and your family economically oppressed, so by purchasing a life insurance policy now, not only will you be helping your family and loved ones in event of your death, but you can only end up to help them while you're still alive.

For life insurance and death.

Most people think of life insurance when it comes to have insurance in case of death, however, the non-life insurance is insurance that is just nice to have when death is involved. People usually buy life insurance for themselves, but what if the death of another person is your fault? If the person died because of an accident caused by something on your property or a car accident, in which you are guilty, HAVING an Adequate home insurance or auto insurance policy.

In America, all 50 states require some form of car insurance or proof of financial responsibility. It is the law, and most people comply. Yet, the amount of auto insurance varies from state to state, and damages that occur during a car accident generally more expensive to repair than the minimum requirements for car insurance. If you should be involved in a car accident that kills another person, and you are the driver at fault, your state's minimum requirements for auto insurance may not be sufficient to cover the damage. When this is the case, you can bet Cases will be filed.

The same applies to accidents caused by something on your property resulting in death. You and your spouse would know to skip this step shaky on the way to your door, but your visitors do not May, and if a fall results in death, the victim's family, will knock on the door at home insurance company's. If there is sufficient insurance to cover the damage - and usually is not home insurance is often not required - are probably going to knock on the door of a lawyer is next.

Instead of thinking about what you can get away with this, think about what situations you want to avoid in the future. Purchase more than the minimum amount required auto insurance, home insurance and purchase even if it is not necessary.

Buyers Guide To coffins and urns

For thousands of years, civilizations have buried the dead in different ways. The Egyptians practiced mummification, the Romans burned the deceased while the traditional practice has been called the person Six Feet Under.

Regardless of the method, one thing remains the same. This is a time when relatives and friends gather to pay their last respects to someone who has touched the lives of those who are still alive. Some even consider this as a confirmation to those who are in shock that this happened.

When someone in the family dies, the surviving members usually go to the funeral home and take a casket or coffin of the deceased to be buried inside the owners of these places have much to offer a variety of materials and drawings is a way to make money from dead.

There are two types of coffins more commonly offered to customers. There are those in wood and metal ones.

1. Wood used for caskets are cheaper than those used in furniture production. This is available in pine, pecan, ash, maple, cherry, oak, walnut and mahogany. You can also come in various finishes, which gives a very even before people can come to see the deceased.

2. Metal Caskets are usually produced from 4 materials. These are copper, steel, bronze and stainless steel. This may also have a protective coating or protection against air and water.

One of the characteristics of steel coffins is that this happens usually with a set of identification or a tube memorial that makes it easier to identify the body, as it needs to be exhumed or transferred somewhere else.

Another factor that determines the price of the coffin will be the material used inside the coffin that will play a factor in the layout of the body as well as family members would like to put things inside.

A survey given funeral homes show that many consumers prefer the mid-price models. This is to avoid looking cheap for those attending the service and there isn't that much money available to get one of the most expensive.

If money is no problem, the box should reflect the lifestyle, religion, occupation or organizational affiliation of the deceased. This is the last thing people want to remember despite the trials and my tasting experience in life.

Some choose a coffin that has space for users to add some things that the dead will use in life after that is very common in Asian cultures. The client may need to add an extra incision in or out before this is placed in the ground.

People who need to get one for a deceased family member should find time to read some rules regarding funerals from the Federal Trade Commissions. This will prevent professionals from taking advantage of customers who are suffering at this time of sorrow.

Most coffins come with a single or 2 hinge door. This is ideal for friends and relatives of the deceased to see one last time before being buried in the ground. The upper body can be displayed or the whole thing itself.

The person should check the coffin for any cracks or scratches to get the value for money for this body is carried to his resting place. If the person has suffered burns or bullet holes, the question does because no one will look more to the body.

Not all boxes are designed for burial. Some families rent only for this service especially if the request of that person is to be cremated after passing away. The urn must be purchased in advance so the remains can be transferred there to be placed in the cemetery or taken home.

Despite improvements in medicine, everyone goes to the next life. The person can take the necessary steps, but will certainly be difficult to think objectively, especially in this time of sorrow.

The members of the bereaved family can choose the right casket in advance by checking the promos and rates offered at first something like this could happen.

Smoking can damage your Family long after your death

Regardless of how many health problems arising from it, no matter how it makes ugly clothes, hair, homes, and breath odor, and no matter how difficult to stop once started, people continue to smoke.

Smoking leads to some dark cloud over the head of the smoker - and not the cloud of smoke the last cigarette. And 'the cloud of premature death. Everyone is dying, but people who engage in dangerous activities and habits that are known to cause death, such as smoking, are at greater risk of dying before they could if they had not started smoking.

life insurance companies see the dark cloud that follows smokers around, too. That's why sometimes it seems impossible for smokers to purchase life insurance policies. And 'quite difficult for people with health problems who were born or evolved naturally to get a good life insurance policy, but smokers are only accelerating the process of death on their own.

Most life insurance companies require potential policyholders to undergo a medical examination before offering them a life insurance policy. Many smokers try to hide their habit, avoiding smoking for a few days before the medical examination, while this sometimes works, it means that the smoker is in the clear. If the smoker to smoke again once the examination is over and life insurance policy was purchased, he or she may still be denied coverage.

The reason for this is more life insurance companies have a "contestable period", which is an amount of time from when the contractor purchases the life insurance policy. If the insured dies during that time, and life insurance company discovers the bill died from smoking-related health conditions, the company may withdraw the death and family members and beneficiaries will be left high and dry.

If you can not stop smoking for yourself, stop smoking for your family.

Whole life insurance: death or the cash value?

Whole life policies offer this nifty little perk called "cash value." A whole life insurance policy will accumulate a cash value over time and the money is tax deferred, which means it will not pay taxes on the cash value whole life insurance policy accumulates. Many people enjoy the cash value that all fringe benefit life insurance offer, however, be noted that is not likely to reap the fruits of your cash value and your beneficiary to receive your death benefits.

This probably sounds a bit 'confusing, so let's break it down. Whole life insurance policy owners only get the cash value that their policy has accumulated in one of two ways. The first way the policy owner can obtain its value for money is to sell all his life insurance policy early, in which case the cash value would be available to him while he is still alive. Once the policy owner sells his entire life insurance policy in advance, the owner no longer has the policy that the policy of life insurance.

The second way a whole life insurance policy owner can get his cash value is borrowing against the cash value. This is definitely an advantage in times of financial stress, but unless the contractor pays back the amount borrowed, the death is reduced. Thus, if the policyholder dies before that repay what was borrowed against the value of cash, the amount of death benefits the beneficiary receives will not be as it would if there was money borrowed against the value in cash.

In short, a whole life insurance policy holder can not have everything its value for money and still have a death benefit for its recipient, or a contractor to borrow money against the cash value and still allow the holders to get the full death benefits if borrowed money is never returned.
