The Healing Effects of After-Death Communication
by  Marilyn A. Mendoza Ph.D
From Psychology Today 


"The experiences of  grief  can be so unsettling that many who mourn express concern that they are losing their minds. The bereaved are bombarded with unusual thought, experiences and emotions. Typically, all these experiences are in the realm of normalcy however, some individuals feel that they are a sign of psychopathology" READ MORE...
 

Teaching Doctors to Talk About Death 
From PBS.org

"Faced with the uncomfortable task of discussing death, doctors often avoid the topic. Only 17 percent of Medicare patients surveyed in a 2015 Kaiser Family Foundation  study  said they had discussed end-of-life care - though most wanted to do so. Since that study, Medicare has begun reimbursing providers for having these conversations. Yet still,  just a fraction  of Medicare recipients at the end of life have those talks with their doctors." READ MORE...

Bad Bereavement Advice:
When Trying to Help Doesn't Help
by Terri Daniel
 
As I travel around the country teaching workshops on loss, trauma and resilience, I meet hundreds of people - mostly bereaved parents - who have been suffering deeply for years and even decades, and are not moving forward in the healing process. For my doctoral research on complicated grief, I accumulated a lot of data on this troubling phenomenon. A common thread among the parents was a belief that many of them echoed... "The depth of your pain equals the depth of the love you have for your child."   READ MORE
