Are you supposed to send flowers to your own grandmother's funeral?
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.
Hopefully someone has not been to so many funerals that they know exactly what is appropriate and acceptable for each occasion. For those fortunate enough not to know precisely how to dress for a funeral, here are a few guidelines.
Wearing all black is traditional, but more recently people have suggested wearing a splash of white or a subtle color. The occasion is surely one of mourning, but in some cases it can be a slight celebration of the deceased’s end of suffering. If the death was sudden or unexpected, it is appropriate to dress fully in black.
No matter what the color of the outfit, it is important that it is tasteful and conservative. Ladies should not wear a dress that is sleeveless or backless. Also, the hem should not rise more than six inches above the knee and the shoes should be close-toed. Men wearing a button up shirt can get away with leaving the top button undone, but anything more than that would be disrespectful. In regards to men’s shoes, they should leave the tennis shoes or hiking boots at home and opt for polished dress shoes.
After the outfit has been selected, accessories must be taken into consideration. The first thing to consider is the weather. If it is going to be rainy, have an umbrella and a water resistant jacket. If it will be hot, wear short sleeves and maybe bring a small bottle of water to hide in a purse. Next, it is important to check the agenda of the funeral. If someone is attending the burial as well, they must wear accommodating shoes, especially women. Spiked heels may dig into the possibly soft ground, distracting her attention from her last chance to say goodbye.
If anything out of the ordinary is taking place at the funeral that would change the mode of dress, those organizing it will likely inform the guests. This may be a something such as team members all wearing a jersey with the deceased’s number on them, or even wearing the favorite color of the deceased. The most important idea to remember is that the guests are there to honor a loved one.
How do you cope with the loss of a loved one?
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.
How do different religions deal with death?
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.

Is the Jewish mourning period for 11 months or 12 months?

Is it ok to take shrooms whilst you're grieving the loss of a loved one?
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.
How Using negative consequences to emphasize the seriousness of a problem in counseling?
Counselors can provide testimonies from other families to help save other families. This can be done by capturing the testimonies on video.
How does it feel to lose someone you love?
It sucks
There really are not words to describe how horrible it feels. It hurts more than anything else. You would much rather get hit by a bus than to feel the pain of losing the one you love. And to top it all off, there isn't really much anything that will take the pain away.
What does it mean if you killed your ex step father in your dream?
My advice is: If (in reality) you have any reason to feel he deserved it, then you should seek professional advice (not on the net). If there is no real reason that you can think of, then ignore it, remember, not all dreams have meaning, some are what they seem, mixed-up nonsense. they have a purpose that is not open to meaningful interpretation.
As long as the person/thing meant to you. Personally, I have never felt grief, that is because I have never loved anything/anyone that deeply to feel upset over their/it's absence in my life. But for a normal person, there is no timetable, grief lasts as long as it has too.
Answer
Rather than looking at time, you would consider the stages that most people pass through on their way to acceptance. The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are from the writings and study of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.
You dreamed your ex died what does it mean?
It means that your subconscious mind (your soul) realizes that your ex is no longer a part of your life. It is expressing in a literal way the idea behind the expression, "he is dead to me." Nobody is really dead, and the dream is not forecasting the future in any way. It is expressing a realization within your self: "it's over."

How do you deal with the death of a parent?
As we all know '' Death '' is a horrible thing, it will happen to all of us some time or other.
You can cope with it in various ways perhaps you could contact a family member or perhaps get counselling i would suggest someone who is very close to you and has had previous experience before.
You should not take a hands on approach with the funeral you should just sit and relax and get you're partner to deal with it or again someone who close with you best friend perhaps ?????
There is many counselors out there who can help you to get through it with a lot of different methods some are better than others so try to find one with a good report.
If there is anything else you would like to know then please just flag this message.
or..
my oppinion..
cry a bit. spend time with your family, and be more thankful for what you have.
don't be upset all the time, because the person who has passed on wouldn't want you to be sad. celebrate their life every once and a while, by listening to happy music, making an album of memories that you've had with them, talk to your 'real' friends about them, and stuff like that.
grief is a horrible thing, and as said before counselling is an option which can help people, but for me it didnt. the only thing that helped is photos, music, memories and family.
remember, they are never fully gone, their spirit will live on in your heart.
they're always with you, protecting you like a guardian angel :)

How do you deal with the idea of death coming to a love one?
You could pray and get prayer, go to see a specialist, (not to say that you're crazy), or you could speak to a close friend/family member.
It would appear that they do. Many people have noticed that they will do small things to let you know they acknowledge your presence, such as a slight hand squeeze, but even if they do not, it is pretty certain that they know you are with them and that you care.
Does everyone dream while they're sleeping?
- Everyone dreams while they are sleeping but not everybody remembers it, so if people tell you they don't have dreams, they are mistaken.
um i not mistaken........ i kno i not dream
- Yes, but not everyone remembers them when they wake up.
- It is possible to have REM sleep with no dreaming. I just had a sleep study, and it was confirmed that I was not dreaming during the REM phase of sleep. According to the technician, in order to remember a dream, one must wake up during or just after the dream. Otherwise it is not remembered. However, it is wrong to assume that everyone dreams and just do not remember the dreams. Some people do not dream very often.
Humans dream every 1/2 hour and seldom remember most of them and that's because they are in total REM sleep (meaning a deep sleep with eyes moving back and forth under closed eyelids.) When a person is stressed out they are not in total REM sleep (tossing/turning) and it's the last few seconds just before waking that an individual can remember a dream or nightmares. Nightmares are caused from stress. If a human didn't dream they actually would go crazy. Dreaming releases tension in the body and mind.
- Yes, everyone does dream. Normally, people don't remember their dreams. When you decide you want to sleep, you fall into a daydream, that is where you dream a nightmare or a more pleasant dream. You then fall into a deep sleep, this is where most people forget their dreams.
- Yes, everyone of every age dreams at night. Dreams often occur in the rem stage of sleep, which is often the last 15-30 minutes of the sleep cycle, Even though one may not recall or remember what they were dreaming about, the brain is still working and dreams still occur.
Everyone does not dream every night. I sleep, but only few nights I dream. Thank God that I remember everything! and some dreams too when I see dreams. We do not see dreams every night because "Dreams are not the things we see while we are sleeping, It is a thing that does not let us sleep". You would have observed that when you do not see dream, when you wake-up you are Fresh! but when you dream, you feel like sleeping again and feel lazy. Its just that "We do not dream every time we sleep"
For the first 7 days after the funeral. However, shiva may be cut short due to Shabbat and/or Jewish holidays.
How do you discipline ODD ADHD children?
It needs to be very similar to normal children unless they have autism.
Educational perspective:- All children need to know exactly what is expected before it is expected.
- They need to know the consequences before they test the rules.
- They need to know that when the consequences are applied that it is directly the result of their behavior and the choices they made.
- They need to know that regardless of what they do, that what you do is the result of your feelings and concern for them.
- The rules and consequences must be consistent and realistic, and consequences must fit the misbehavior.
This being said, children living with ODD must be dealt with firmly, consistently, and with easily identifiable caring feelings. Part of the issue or the source of opposition defiance is that these kids, many of them, are dealing with anger issues that rise out of treatment that many of the received while younger. This is not a judgment against the parents. Most parents, abusive or otherwise, do what they do because they are unaware of the damage they may be doing, or are doing the best they can with the information and knowledge they possess. Rarely will you find an abusive or neglectful parent or caregiver who is so for malicious or malignant reasons. Most are dealing with difficult issues of their own. In short they are broken, and the children they raise become broken too. While everyone is ultimately responsible for their own inappropriate behavior, none of us is raised or lives in a vacuum. We bounce of each other, those around us, and all too often the "bounce" results in unexpected or worrisome ricochets that are difficult to predict.
While prediction is difficult, addressing the issues afterward are easier. Start with narrow focus, use every example of negative or inappropriate behavior as a teaching moment, and help kids with ODD and ADHD make better choices.
Oddly enough, there are treatments common to those used in the treatment of PTSD. If you look at the research for ODD, ADHD, and PTSD, you'll see a lot of different treatment suggestions, but the best course of action is to keep it simple, and engage children (or anyone dealing with these issues) in their own treatment. Let them cooperate with developing rules and consequences. Just be ready to moderate their suggestions. Children, especially those living with ODD, ADHD (and PTSD), can be harsh when it comes to suggesting discipline or punishments.
