New article this week is “Stress in Grief”. Did you know that 300 points on the stress scale can be deadly? Guess how many points you get for the loss of a loved one?

The next series of articles is on Death Dreams, the ones that have you up in the middle of the night looking for the Rocky Road. Be brave, and check them out. The dreams aren’t always what you think.

The article “Do I Need Help?” may help you determine whether or not you are one of the walking wounded.

Many people have questions about death, dying, grief, sadness, depression. It's not something we speak of openly in our culture. The Bereavement Page is a safe place to ask anonymously. Not only will you get an answer personally if you click on "Contact Editor", but a full length feature article may be written so we can all learn.

Whether or not you are part of a faith community, you are welcome to the grief support groups offered there. Check them out. If you need encouragement to go, write the Editor! We'll all get through this together. You are not alone. You're just a few clicks away from a circle of support. Glad to have you.

Please feel free to pass this along to friends and family. Bellaonline never shares their addresses.
