Most people spend years planning vacations, careers, and retirement… but very few prepare for the one event every human being will eventually face. Death. Not because people are irresponsible. But because it feels uncomfortable to talk about. Yet when someone passes away without organizing their affairs, families are often left overwhelmed with questions: • Where are the important documents? • Who has access to bank accounts and insurance policies? • What were their funeral wishes? • Who should make medical decisions? • How should property and belongings be handled? In the ...

Grief does not only come from death. It can also come from lost love, divorce, betrayal, estrangement, and the kind of goodbye you never got to have. Sometimes the loss is real and final. Sometimes the person is still alive, but the relationship is gone. Either way, your brain can react as if something essential has been torn away. The Grief Trap explains why some people do not move through grief in a straight line. It shows how love and attachment are wired into the nervous system and why the mind can get stuck replaying memories, searching for answers, and hoping for a different ending. ...

In Time Doesn't Heal, best-selling author, grief expert, and widow Teresa Amaral Beshwate challenges one of the most common and damaging myths grieving people are told: that time alone will make the pain fade. For widowed people—especially high achievers—this belief often leads to frustration, self-criticism, and the feeling of being stuck, despite doing everything "right."

Diários do infinito é a terceira obra de contos do escritor e dramaturgo Newton Moreno, um dos nomes mais respeitados na dramaturgia brasileira. Ópera e Cidades sensíveis são os primeiros. Os textos que habitam este livro-lar foram textos escritos durante a pandemia, sob o teto da ameaça da doença, em estado de quarentena, ao descobrirmos - todos - termos a mesma vizinha, a peste. Mas de tão caseiros, estes contos falam de uma ideia de casa, lar, família, moradas, árvores genealógicas, pertencimento, território e saudades.

No estás solo, y tu dolor es real.

Casey needs a family of her own: the joys and the sorrows, people who love her, and a place she belongs—what Zorba the Greek called “the full catastrophe”—and she’s determined to make it happen.

Everyone experiences grief at some point in their life, whether it’s the loss of a life or the loss of a situation. Fonda’s most powerful grief is the loss of her sister, Brianna, in a tragic accident at age 23. She dives into reflection of the life the two experienced, sending her on a heroine’s journey to change, gaining personal growth through travels in the UK, Europe, and throughout the U.S. By holding onto faith, she finds love in a synchronicity with Brianna, and through research, she practices spirituality to heal from a dark night of the soul.

A newlywed couple were in the midst of unsuccessful fertility treatments at a nearby center during the time of the Oklahoma City bombing which occurred at 9:02 am on April 19, 1995.

Murrah Federal Building and its aftermath set a sorrowful resonating tone of great sadness, acceptance, and getting on with life for the veteran marathon runner and his wife.

Death is one of life's few certainties, yet most Americans avoid planning for it. This reluctance to confront mortality often leaves families scrambling during their most vulnerable moments, making difficult decisions under emotional duress and financial pressure. Pre-need planning—the process of arranging and often prepaying for funeral services before they're needed—offers a compassionate alternative. It's a final gift you give to those you love: the gift of clarity, reduced burden, and peace of mind.

El catorce de agosto de 2023 será una fecha que quedará grabada, para siempre, en la vida de Francesc Torralba. Es el último día de la vida de su hijo Oriol, quien murió haciendo una excursión por la montaña. El proceso del duelo es un camino tortuoso y con muchos vaivenes que nos pone ante lo único insalvable: la muerte. No hay palabras es la obra de la vida del autor, por tema personal, pero también porque es un replanteamiento desde una perspectiva totalmente novedosa de un tema que él ya había tratado, cómo era la pérdida de un ser querido.

"Humor bedeutet mehr und ist etwas anderes, als lustig zu sein. Humor heißt, sich immer wieder an die unterstützende Kraft von Lachen und Freude zu erinnern, sie wertzuschätzen und einzusetzen." Krankheit, Sterben und Tod - da gibt es nichts zu lachen, oder? Harald-Alexander Korp sieht das ganz anders.
