Are You Prepared?     

I wonder how many of you have given thought to how unprepared we are for life…and loss. 

How does one prepare for the loss of a loved one? All of us address life’s issues differently; and yet, most of us all face the same issues.

One way to help cope with losing a loved one is through Pre-Grief Counseling. I have done it, and it works! 

When you don’t face certain issues before they happen, you have to deal with them after the crisis has struck, the absolute worst time to sort out your feelings. 

Pre-Grief Counseling allows you to talk about your fears and concerns before the emotional crisis. Our feelings and thoughts are often overwhelming in the midst of a family crisis. Addressing them early on prepares us mentally and emotionally to go forward and to better assist other family members as they face this loss.

But, you say, "I have healthy parents.  Why should I go to Pre-Grief Counseling?" The answer is simple:

Facing the Future

We never know if our loved ones' health condition(s) may suddenly and seriously change.

Meeting with a counselor  enables you to talk about your concerns or fears before you must face the emotional turmoil that often comes as we face end-of-life issues for our loved one. 

I believe in the Girl Scout motto: “Be Prepared." Maybe we should all follow that advice.

It feels like schools should offer classes on How To Handle Life Experiences; since we all could make use of these and we could do with a few less subjects we never use very much.

How prepared were you to face the situations life has dealt you? 

How prepared are you to say goodbye to a loved one?

Do something truly healthy and helpful for yourself. Think about seeing a counselor for Pre-Grief Counseling. The rewards will be all yours as you feel better prepared to face the future with your loved ones. Do you agree?   Barb
