Grief Loss and Bereavement

In a traditional Native American funeral, the family takes care of their own dead. They make all the arrangements, including transporting the body, and utilize green burial techniques. Family members wash and dress the body, and place it in a shroud or wooden casket. While the body may be honored for two to four days before burial, embalming is avoided. With modern technology, the body is preserved prior to burial with refrigeration using dry ice.

There are no right or wrong feelings... everyone grieves in their own way. There are the 7 stages of grief as I'm sure you have heard about or seen on tv... disbelief, anger, sadness, etc. My father died when I was very young and I never dealt with my feelings, if you can find someone, anyone to talk to, everything your feeling is normal no matter what those feelings are so don't be afraid to talk to someone, anyone. I'm sorry for your loss

Some refusal skills are to just say "no".

Another would be to walk away or leave any situation that is intending you to act on a bad impulse.

One more refusal skill is to tell the person/people/ect. that you are not interested in ______ and you'd appreciate it if they would stop acting/doing whatever it is when you're around.

This dream could have very different interpretations depending on its emotional tone. If it is dark and terrifying, the blood might represent "blood on your hands," and it suggests that you feel as if someone is trying to put guilt on you. However, blood is also a symbol of life, in the biblical sense that "the life is in the blood." In that case, a joyful, peaceful dream could indicate that you are receiving life, love and healing from someone, in much the same way that we receive the "blood of Christ" in the Eucharist.

Except that whoever died their time was up...and if they were old especially. and have comfort in the fact that they had a good life were good to their family and friends and society...and if neither of the above are true..then they're not worth cryin over!

Usually, people that cant stop crying at a funeral or in general is because there are over run by emotions. sadness. when a person passes away its very sad because you wont see that person again. depending on you beliefs until you see them again in heaven etc.... your remembering the times and things you've shared together etc.. in which is very emotional.

It doesn't mean anything specific. What's important is how you felt during the dream. Were you scared of something? Were you accepting death? This is a glimpse into your own mind.

Common superstitions say dreaming of death means that someone in your family is going to have a baby. Such old superstitions have no basis in fact.

Dreams are your own thoughts which other people can't read.

Consider: Has anything special happened to you recently?

Also consider: Do you think about dying when you are awake?

To dream about the death of a loved one, suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what do you like about him. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. Alternatively, it indicates that whatever that person represents has no part in your own life.

To dream of your own death, indicates a transitional phase in your life. You are becoming more enlightened or spiritual. Alternatively, you are trying desperately to escape the demands of your daily life. To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something. On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation. To see someone dying in your dream, signifies that your feelings for that person are dead or that a significant change/loss is occurring in your relationship with that person. Alternatively, you may want to repress that aspect of yourself that is represented by the dying person. Also, in certain Asian countries where people are believed to have a limit to how long they live; it is believed that the person dying is gaining an extra year of life.

I've heard that if you dream of a death you'll receive a message from the living. Like, you might get an email, a card or letter from someone you haven't heard from for a long time.

Dreaming of the deceased is a perfectly natural part of the mourning process, and can recur long after the actual death. Dreams allow the subconscious mind to work through the struggle of accepting the friend's loss, and help the emotions to adjust to sorrow and changes in life. See the link below for further examples and discussion.

okay basely if you are wearing black you are sending off bad energy to the dead body that is in the room , white sends off good energy , wearing black is against the religion but no one really nows because the stupid Christan people tired to change the Hindu belief

Grief is one of the hardest experiences any of us can go through but it's important to remember that it's not the grief that's the problem. It's the loss of someone we love that's the problem. Though incredibly difficult, grief is the process through which we heal.

So the best way to cope with grief is to follow where it leads. After years of coaching and counseling people who are grieving, I am convinced that grief is a most trustworthy companion. It will take you exactly where you need to go and will heal you in the end. It often takes a long time (several years is not uncommon). Trying to manage your grief, speed it up, suppress it or medicate it, generally backfires by making grief more difficult and prolonged.

In dreams, death usually represents the end of one stage and the beginning of something new. This dream suggests that the "ex" is "dead" to the dreamer. This is a good, healthy message that it is time for the dreamer can move on with life.

There are different options for bringing food to a shiva. The main consideration is if the family keeps kosher, to be safe, any food taken or sent to a shiva house should be kosher. In most communities that are large enough to support kosher restaurants and caterers, groups of people will coordinate all meals through one of these places to make sure that the family sitting shiva aren't eating the same foods for the whole seven days. Otherwise, friends and family will work together to bring food to the mourners for the shiva period.

THis is up to you love, follow what your heart and maybe you need something that can remind you how good your mother is. I do am sorry if your mother pass away, but giving her flower is only a sign that you will miss her and you are sad that she is not here anymore.

I'm deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. And I can sympathize with what you're feeling and going through right now. I would like to share with you what helped me get through these distressing times and what encouraged me to seek God for comfort and coping. Revelation 21:3 and 4 says "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say; "Look! The tent of God is with Mankind, and HE WILL reside with them. 4 And HE WILL wipe out every tear from their eyes, and DEATH will be NO MORE, neither will mourning nor outcry NOR PAIN be anymore, the FORMER things have passed away. This scripture really helped me to see that in the future Jehovah God will end death forever. It's encouraging to know that God does care about us and that he has set a time where he will do away with death forever. I hope I was able to bring you and your family some comfort in these critical times that you're dealing with. If you would like to learn more about the bible and why does God allow the suffering that mankind is experiencing today, I will be glad to show you the bible's answer to that question and many more comforting promises that God promises to bring about.

Well first their are so many different religions that you would lose count. Some religions such as Christians believe that if you Repent (confess your sins) & get baptize and have the Holy Ghost( the spirt of God) & pray and live up to a holy lifestyle that you will get to heaven. But Atheis( may not be spelled right) don't believe in anything such as God and just believe that they will just die & be died in the ground.But being a Christian they want to get to heaven and don't fear it. But ATHESIS fear dying because they don't want to living in a hole in the ground.

I am an ATHEIST and Atheism is not a religion so right off the bat your wrong, and we do not fear dying. we just accept that when we die we are dead and that we don't go to heaven. If anyone is afraid it would be Christians because to comfort themselves that they are going to die and cant accept that the are going to die. So before you talk about something make sure that you know what your talking about and not just make stuff up as you go.

Following the loss of a spouse, sibling or child, the Jewish mourning period is 30 days. Following the loss of a parent, the Jewish mourning period is 12 months, but the ritual functions that distinguish the mourner during the synagogue service are suspended after 11 months.

The short answer: No.

The long answer: If you are asking, it is presumable that you are contemplating engaging in the practice of taking hallucinogens in an attempt to drown out life. It is a very bad idea, as it reduces your ability to think. If you can't think as well as you used to, you tend to do poorly at your job. If you do poorly at your job, you are demoted or let go. And then you enter a Kafka loop. Don't do it.
