Feeling Nothing During Grief

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

There are so many things one can feel in this life – anger, joy, jealousy, love, shame, happiness, embarrassment, amusement, sadness, euphoria, frustration.  The roller coaster of emotion whips over high peaks, spins, and dips over and over and over – it’s thrilling and it’s scary and it’s one hell of a ride.

Excellent article about grief support and how we can feel nothing.  Sometimes it can be part of complicated grief, in other cases, feeling numb or nothing at all can also be part of normal grief support as well. Anhedonia can be normal to some extent but if continued over a long period of months, then it may be time to discuss it with a licensed counselor.

What would you tell your younger self about grief?

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

When my mother died, I knew nothing about grief. Truthfully, I knew nothing about life either. Like most, I entered grief with nothing more than a handful of assumptions and a few preconceived notions.

Grief is something that can only be experienced to truly understand it.  i am sure for those who have experienced grief and loss on a larger scale, there is much they can share and probably would like to share with their younger selves, but the reality is we have to go through it to learn and only through these crosses do we grow.

Barriers to end-of-life care discussions identified

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Two issues emerged among experts in a discussion around barriers to end of life care: Conversations about death and dying need to be normalized so that people can be more comfortable having advance care planning discussions within families before there’s a crisis. And, clinicians need more training to be highly skilled and sensitive communicators.
