Arrigate

My mom just passed away recently. It was a very quick death; the result of a fast-moving cancer. We had no idea that she was so sick; neither did she. I am thankful, however, that she loved God. I am assured of her salvation. I know that I will see her again someday and that gives me some comfort. But still, I miss her in my life here on earth.

After her funeral, my sister and I began the painful process of going through her things and deciding who would get what. I am grateful that it went smoothly; there were no arguments about who would get her china or jewelry. She had a lot of valuables but mostly it was sentimental items that we wanted. Each one of us, my brother, sister and I, had our own special memories of one thing or another and so it was healing to go through each item and remember.

The best thing about that time, though, was the time we spent with each other, my family and I, remembering. I think my mom probably liked that as she paused in her rejoicing from heaven and watched us. Later, as I told this to a friend, she began to reflect on how important family is; that there really is nothing more valuable than family.

Family really is more important than anything. I thought about my mom and her “valuables” and what she really valued. Before she died, we had a few days to say goodbye as the cancer took over her internal organs. She asked us not to fight when she was dying and I am proud to say that we honored her request. I realize that the most important thing to her, at the end of her life and all through her life, was family.

She loved her family, both immediate and extended, more than anything. Her last days were spent at a hospice facility. What a wonderful place to be at a time like that. She was able to say goodbye to everybody she loved. One by one they came in to her room that looked like her home and she talked with them as they cried. She loved them; they loved her. I have to admit that for me, it was painful to watch her say goodbye so many times. I told my sister and brother that it was like watching her die over and over again. I finally had to leave because I just couldn’t take it anymore.

Well, it wasn’t about me. It was about her. It was her chance to let her family know just how much they meant to her. And she could also see how much she meant to them. That was a blessing to her in her final, painful hours.

She finally died with my sister at her side, just the way she wanted. My sister gave her eulogy and she remarked how each one of us was symbolic of our mom’s mind, body and spirit. My brother’s role was as her mind because he took care of her financial needs. My sister’s role was as her body, because she took care of all her physical needs, such as doctor visits and the like. Finally, my role was as her spirit because we were just so alike. We were so much alike that we fought a lot in this life here on earth. We recognized it, finally, as we both got older and we made peace with each other. But I am, more than the two of them, just like her in spirit. And I am proud to say that I inherited her faith in God and that is what is getting me through the painful process of grieving over her death. It’s hard not to have her with us here on earth but I know that I’ll see her again. I do love you, mom, I’ll see you in heaven!

Question on Internet: How do you really cope with suffering? Do you blame God for it? Do you hate God? Are you angry with Him? How do you cope with this hate or anger, or in some way do you accept your suffering?

THE RESPONSES COME FROM 3 CHRISTIAN WEBSITES

A summary of some of the comments that some of the contributors over Internet have made:

1) I’ve done it all, and being angry at God is an acceptable emotion because it shows honesty, and this is what God expects from us. Actually a technically blasphemous ploy used sometimes in counseling is to forgive God, just to stop the tendency to keep blaming God all the time.

2) But we should always trust God, even in the midst of all the suffering we have to endure.

3) Our lives tend to move in cycles. As a great hymn once stated “After the sun, the rain: After the rain, the sun: This is the way of life”. Just treasure the benefits you have at the moment, and remember that God is suffering along with us, and that we should try to learn something from this suffering-.

4) In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (N.I.V..) it states “Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Jesus Christ” I don’t believe that God actually causes the suffering, but whenever you thank God for everything, even for the suffering, it seems to ease the pain a great deal. In other words, it seems to be a spiritual mechanism for releasing future blessings.

5) Another thought on the subject of suffering is that if all churches try to invest some time into developing in–depth communication growth activities whereby these activities could serve as strong support vehicles for people who are experiencing special life-changing situations, or even in trying to solve ordinary every-day problems, it would be helpful. These groups could be called Support or Growth Groups.

6) In a sense, Jesus was made Perfect through His suffering, and we too can be made perfect though our suffering in that through our suffering we can understand people, and therefore help them, much more effectively because we have gone through many of the same problems. (Hebrews 2:10)

The following are some testimonies on the subject of suffering.

1) John says: I guess you can say that I am some type of an expert when it comes to suffering. Pastoring my first church less than one year I was afflicted with terminal cancer. For six months I battled physical and emotional pain. Then again three years later I once again was afflicted with cancer. This one required that I retire from the ministry. Three years after retirement I came down with kidney then prostrate cancer. Not only do I suffer from cancer, but also from PTSD from Vietnam and Law enforcement. Then I have one wayward daughter that has caused us great sorrow. Living in retirement away from the action is a difficult position for me to be in. I no longer feel needed or appreciated. This by far is the most difficult position for me. I am presently writing my book on suffering, but over all it has increased my faith and made me a better person. God’s word has proved itself to be true in my life. It states “We also glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation produces perseverence; and perseverence, character, and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Rom 5:5). It is the hope of Christ that makes it possible for us to persevere in times of tribulation and distress. We have an anchor for our soul that rests in the One who has gone before us and conquered. God deserves to be trusted. And when you have this trust and hope you can weather any storm in life.

2) Robert says: While I’ve not had cancer, I find a few paralells similar to my own. After graduating from bible college I took up my first pastoral position. Much of my ministry was in marriage counseling. Five months after taking up the position, I was booted out of my home. My marriage was over. This did not do much for my credibility. Following this, I had most of the Christian world turn on me. I hardly ever to get to see my 2 daughters. My name was smeered in every corner of the world, and after the breakup, I fell into a relationship and now have a baby with this lady. I now have nothing to do with that child. I had no money, car, assets, or home, and had ended up being an inconvenience to a Household out of a need to stay
somewhere…Anywhere. Six months after the breakup, with no one reaching out to my hand that was outstretched, I attempted suicide and was hospitalized. I then have had to live with the condemnation, (not care) of someone who was not emotionally “with it”. Funny how God will really allow you to go through the ringer. But people tend to go to one extreme of two choices. 1) They give up on God altogether, and damn his name, and give their life to Satan, or 2) They come closer to God and end up having a relationship which is undescribable. I guess we both have the choice which way we are to go.

3) Will says : If you assume that because you have failed God once-or even more than once- in the past, He will never use you in the future, you are limiting God. God has the ability to forgive. He has the ability to turn your failures into triumphs. He is able to figure out a place that’s just right for your particular talent or gift. And furthermore, He desires to put you to use in His Kingdom. You may say, “Well, I didn’t refuse a call from God, but I sinned in a major way. God will never be able to use me.” Again you are limiting the ability of God. God can heal your life, restore you, put you back together, and put you back on track with Him, and use you. Trust Him to do that. Just look at the number of people who have been to prison, failed miserably, fallen from grace, suffered great disrepute or a loss of reputation, and God has lifted them up and restored them. Very often, the latter days of their lives are more fruitful for Him than their former days before the failure. God knows our human frailities. He knows how to overcome them and how to work through them, around them, and in them. God knows how to fix our mistakes. The Christian Church is the only army in the world that shoots its own wounded. I have served in the Navy, the Army, 18 months in Vietnam. I was a big city cop and detective, a deputy sheriff. I drove log trucks, and been a minister and traveling evangelist. I have been all over the world, and have met a lot of people. But sadly to say, that I never knew greater discomfort, and let downs, and downright hostility then when I went into the ministry. But I know that we are not fighting against flesh and blood.. Rather against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. I have learned a long time ago, that the only person that
you really have to satisfy is God Himself. And if you are right with Him, nothing else matters. But our God is the God of the first change, and the second, and fifth. He will never turn His back on us. And remember the words of Paul, “Being confident of the very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Phil 1:6). God bless you my brother in Christ.

Corbin says: Most suffering is really a consequence of the gift that God gave us, which is free will. Other suffering might be caused by creation limitations and unseen spiritual conflict. But free will, I believe, is the major culprit. However we absolutely need free will, because without it, we could never choose to love God or each other, which God definitely wants us to do. But with free will, you also have the possibility of making wrong choices, which is really the cause of much of our major sufferings today. An analogy of how unseen Spiritual Warfare could affect our way of life can be seen by how unseen Spywords in a computer can effect the navigational efforts of a mouse attached to a computer.

Corbin Melvin Wright was born in New York City in 1931, grew up on Long Island, graduated from Roanoke College in Virginia with a BA in Political Science, and from New York Theological Seminary with a Masters in Religious Education. Corbin became a committed Christian in 1958, and after a number of years became a committed Ecumenical Christian. Corbin worked as an accountant in various companies for about 25 years in New York City, then moved down to Argentina and worked for about 21 years as a Business English converstionalist teacher with some of the top managers. Corbin also became a Stephen Minister
(trained counselor) while down here. He has been married twice (the last to an Argentine), widowed once, no children, one cat.

Remembering someone special in a personal way can be healing for everyone concerned, for a eulogy is a deeply personal way of saying goodbye. The key word is life, and you’ve been given the opportunity to celebrate a loved one’s life in the individual way that made your friend unique. Don’t be daunted by the task, just take these simple steps for a sincere and moving last farewell.

To prepare a eulogy, you will need to be well prepared. The eulogy should convey your feelings and your experiences and should be written in an informal, conversational tone. It’s not for summarising the person’s life and it doesn’t have to speak for all present. Just sit down and write from your heart. So, where do you start?

1. Get your material

First, collect some biographical facts : age, working life, marriage dates, places lived, children, and so on. Ask the family, they will welcome the chance to talk about their loved one. Then collect personal facts : special skills and accomplishments, characteristics, hobbies, etc. Now think about the stories you remember, or the turn of phrase or typical behavior that captures a person’s character so well.

Here are some questions to get you thinking:

• How did you and the deceased become close? When did you meet?
• What’s a humourous or touching event that sticks in your mind. Does it represent the individuality of your friend?
• What did you most like and admire about the deceased?
• What will you miss most about this person?
• What will you always remember?

Some of the simplest thoughts are deeply touching. For example, “I’ll miss his crooked grin ” “I’ll always remember her bubbling laugh”. These warm touches will bring loving memories to those who are listening. Some of the best memorial services are filled with fond remembrances and laughter. Poetry is inspirational, and also of great assistance in writing a eulogy.

2. Organise your material

Write your notes in point form on sheets of paper or on 3×5 file cards - one idea to a card. Now group the cards into piles of similar topics. Then sort each pile of cards into a logical order. Write your first draft. Use linking sentences to make each topic flow easily into the next. Pay most attention to your beginning and ending. As you write, edit and polish, keep the words “celebration” and “thanksgiving” in your mind.

3. Practice!

If you’re not used to speaking in public, start practicing. Run an Internet search on ’speaking tips’ or borrow a book on speaking from the library. Read your speech into a tape and then play it back. You’ll be able to polish your eulogy and your delivery. Now stand in front of a mirror and practice some more. Even someone who has never spoken in public at all will do a good job with practice.

4. How do you keep calm?

It doesn’t sound easy, but you can do it. If you’re worried about choking up or breaking down in the middle of your eulogy, you can take a moment to compose yourself, then carry on. This is perfectly acceptable. If you’re afraid you might break down while in the middle of the eulogy and find yourself unable to recover, ask someone ahead of time to be ready to take over at a signal from you. Give them a copy of your eulogy. Just knowing you have a backup speaker will probably be all you need to stay calm.

Above all, remember to breathe

You’ll only have to speak for five to ten minutes, but your gift will live on in the hearts of the deceased’s family and friends

Some say that NASA is too bureaucratic and too afraid to take risks. I am one to agree somewhat although will not fully embrace the concept without a few caveats. Nevertheless the problem remains, that if your wait until everything is perfect you will never do anything. Thus sometimes in life or in the exploration of the new discoveries you must take risks. We need to put together missions with acceptable risks and the astronauts assigned need to sign off on those risks for the betterment of all mankind and the future discoveries they will most likely find.

Too difficult to handle; too much for your psyche? Consider the alternative, spending billions getting ready, never going and then having the problem of lost support from the taxpayer here on Earth. If we do not take reasonable and calculatable risks in the future of space exploration we will not reach our goals, even the weakest ones; such as putting a space colony on Mars by 2030. Folks that is just not good enough. We need to do this now in the next few years and stop acting like a bunch of chickens on Earth with the latest strain of Bird Flu.

What if we simply told all astronauts that you might have to be sacrificed or left on your own if something goes wrong and ask them if they are willing to accept the risk? Too much reality for you; can’t handle it personally? Maybe not but that does not mean the astronauts can’t and remember when we send our boys into the battlespace, that is exactly the risk they take for the service to our nation. We merely ask the astronauts to do the same and take a few more risks at NASA, that is all I am saying really. Think on this in 2006.

Depression is something that will occur in many people’s lives, for various reasons. But the “normal” occurrence of a plunge in mood due to stressful events in your life, usually doesn’t last very long, before a person’s natural resilience responds to the environment of friends and family.

Treatment for depression and anxiety may be needed if you experience persistent, multiple symptoms for more than two weeks. These may include a combination of half or more of the following:

* Sleeplessness, insomnia * Ongoing negative moods for no reason * Lack of energy or ambition * Feeling helpless or worthless * Believing nobody cares * Hyper states like edginess or nervousness * Inability to make decisions or concentrate on things * Physical aches and pains that don’t go away * Suicidal thoughts

Depending on the condition of a depressed person, they may require admission to a depression treatment center, where they can be monitored while receiving psychological counseling and medication therapy.

Depression is an emotional disorder, and nothing to be ashamed of. But often, people who are depressed are suffering from negative thoughts about themselves, and the illness can feed on that.

If you recognize five or more of the above symptoms in someone you love, talk to them about how they feel. If they won’t talk to you, go to their family, friends, or even their doctor.

Treatment may be as simple as counseling and medication that can be undertaken while in their own environment, or the doctor may recommend a short stay in a depression treatment facility to get them back on an even keel.

The medications available have redefined the treatment for depression and anxiety, giving patients a break from the emotional state that is weighing them down, while they receive therapy to resolve the issues that caused their illness. =========================================================== Find out what causes depression and how to deal with it.

Children with Asperger’s Syndrome the world over share a common trait - meltdown - otherwise known as a tantrum, a “birko”, a “go-off” or “spack-attack”.

The visible symptoms of meltdown are as varied as the Asperger children themselves, but every parent is able to describe their child’s meltdown behaviour in intricate detail.

Meltdowns can be short lived, or last as long as two hours. They can be as infrequent as once a month (often coinciding with the lunar cycle/full moon) or occur as frequently as 4-6 times a day.

Whatever the frequency and duration, an Asperger child having a meltdown is difficult for parents/carers/teachers to deal with.

Meltdown in Asperger children is triggered by a response to their environment. These responses can be caused by avoidance desire, anxiety or sensory overload. Triggers need to be recognised and identified.

So how do we deal with a meltdown? What should you do when meltdown occurs?

An adults’ (parents/carers/teachers) behaviour can influence a meltdown’s duration, so always check your response first.

1. Calm down 2. Quiet down 3. Slow down 4. Prioritise safety 5. Re-establish self-control in the child, then deal with the issue

1. Take 3 slow, deep breaths, and rather than dreading the meltdown that’s about to take place, assure yourself that you’ve survived meltdowns 1000 times before and will do so this time too.

2. Keep your speaking voice quiet and your tone neutrally pleasant. Don’t speak unnecessarily. Less is best. Don’t be “baited” into an argument. (Often Asperger children seem to “want” to fight. They know how to “push your buttons”, so don’t be side-tracked from the meltdown issue).

3. Slow down. Meltdown often occurs at the most inconvenient time e.g. rushing out the door to school. The extra pressure the fear of being late creates, adds to the stress of the situation. (Asperger children respond to referred mood and will pick up on your stress. This stress is then added to their own.) So forget the clock and focus on the situation. Make sure the significant people in your life know your priorities here. Let your boss know that your Asperger child has meltdowns that have the capacity to bring life to a standstill, and you may be late. Let your child’s teacher know that if your child is late due to a meltdown that it’s unavoidable, and your child shouldn’t be reprimanded for it.

4. Prioritise safety when your Asperger child is having a meltdown. Understand that they can be extremely impulsive and irrational at this time. Don’t presume that the safety rules they know will be utilized while they’re melting down. Just because your Asperger child knows not to go near the street when they are calm doesn’t mean they won’t run straight into 4 lanes of traffic when they are having a meltdown. If your Asperger child starts melting down when you’re driving in the car, pull over and stop. If your child tends to “flee” when melting down, don’t chase them. This just adds more danger to the situation. Tail them at a safe distance (maintain visual contact) if necessary.

5. When your Asperger child is calm and has regained self-control, he will often be exhausted. Keep that in mind as you work through the meltdown issue. Reinforce to your child the appropriate way to express their needs/requests.

Remember that all behaviour is a form of communication, so try to work out the ‘message’ your Asperger child is trying to convey with their meltdown, rather than responding and reacting to the behaviour displayed.

Cymbalta, which is an antidepressant, is believed to reduce depression and is also considered to be a possible benefit to women suffering from Fibromyalgia. This illness, which is still considered rare even though it affects millions of Americans, affects more women and men. Even though the cause of it remains unknown, Fibromyalgia is a growing problem that many are forced to cope with on a daily basis. A Cymbalta Fibromyalgia treatment is designed to help treat both the emotional and physical symptoms of depression. In general, individuals who are dealing with a chronic illness often become depressed and sometimes turn to the world of medicine for assistance.

It is important to note that Cymbalta is not approved for the treatment of Fibromyalgia, but studies have found that it could be beneficial in depression. Because it is thought to help treat depression, which is often the result of a chronic illness, some experts believe that there are benefits that coincide with this illness and a Cymbalta Fibromyalgia treatment.

Cymbalta Fibromyalgia treatments can cause various side effects with the most common being nausea, constipation, dry mouth, decreased appetite, etc. Cymbalta is not for everyone, especially to those who are allergic to it’s ingredients. In addition, individuals with liver or kidney problems, have been diagnosed with glaucoma or consume large amounts of alcohol should speak with their physician prior to taking Cymbalta. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take Cymbalta and should make their physician aware of any conditions prior to accepting any type of prescription.

Prior to accepting any type of prescription medication, individuals must make sure that their physician is made fully aware of any medicines that are currently being consumed and/or any current illnesses. In order to safely provide treatments, a physician must be made fully aware of the circumstances surrounding the patient’s health.

Patients who are being treated for depression should be monitored closely in order to ensure that the depression does not worsen or become increasingly dangerous to the patient. Individuals who are severely depressed may require hospitalization and extended care beyond that which a prescription-based medicine can offer. Anyone who feels that their depression is worsening should consult their physician for a proper diagnosis and a recommended treatment course.

Social anxiety disorder treatment is a necessary course of action for someone that faces social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia. This condition puts you in a place in which you are extremely fearful of others and what they may think of you. Anytime that you feel as if you are being scrutinized, you are leery to play a role. Your fear is that you will somehow not measure up to their standards.

Social anxiety disorder will often have symptoms that are similar to other types of social disorder symptoms. The symptoms are triggered, though, when an individual is facing a social situation. They may experience symptoms such as sweating, a racing heart, muscle tension, problems speaking clearly, dry mouth and shaking. Of course, when the social anxiety disorder symptoms like these occur, it brings on additional fears and therefore even more worry about being judged.

The end result is that people that face social anxiety disorder will likely pull themselves out of social situations. You may avoid social outings, or stop doing things that put this type of pressure on you such as speeches and holding meetings. Many will do this type of avoidance anytime they feel that a social anxiety attack is imminent. Additionally, some people will endure them, but will be under a huge amount of stress during an attack.

Social Anxiety Disorder Treatment Options

When it comes to social anxiety disorder treatment options, there are several very key elements that can be used. This condition is considered to be a long lasting, even a lifetime event in a person’s life. Therefore, social anxiety disorder treatment really should be sought after.

Medications: There are medications on the market that can help in the treatment of social phobia. These medications are in a class of antidepressants that are known as SRI’s (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and are sometimes quite effective in the treatment of social anxiety disorder. One very common medication prescribed for social anxiety disorder treatment is that of Paxil.

Self Help: There are herbal remedies on the market that have been found to have a good amount of help for social phobia. These have been used for hundreds of years with success. Additionally, acupuncture and yoga have been helpful in the treatment of this condition as they can help to relieve the stresses on the body and promote healing.

Behavioral Help: Psychotherapy is often used too as a social anxiety disorder treatment as well. Therapy can and does help people. They will look at what is truly rational and help you to work through this effectively.

Social anxiety disorder treatment is based on the fact that you need to seek out professional help. You should talk with your doctor about your concerns and they can easily help you to work through them. One thing that may help you to do this is to realize that upwards of 13% of the population will experience social anxiety disorders at some point in their lives. That means, you are not alone or strange for feeling this way!
