grief
Losing a family member is one of the most traumatic life events; Families must support one another to endure the five stages of grief and get through it together.
My Aunt Zuhur
My aunt Zuhur or Hajja Zuhur is a woman in her sixties, tall, slim in body, white in complexion, a bright light radiates from her face, a mellow green tattoo in the middle of her forehead. The palm of her hand is the best evidence of the nature of her work and her constant activity.

household and buddies. Funeral providers offer help to bereaved people by supporting them in pulling themselves through the early levels of arranging a funeral. Their services consider treatment of almost everything connected to the burial of the deceased. Nevertheless, it is critical to make sure that the funeral support you decide on gives the ideal arrangement when paying out the previous respect to the deceased.

Why You Should Plan for Your Death
I get it, there is a lot going on. Laundry, work projects, diaper changes, getting the car fixed…or maybe you have none of these things on your plate and your life is full of other things. It doesn’t really matter what your life is full of…there will be a day when the things from your plate get dumped onto someone else’s, in a manner of speaking.

The Trees My Mother Planted
When I was 20, I came home from college only to find my mom on her hands and knees in the front yard covered in dirt. Oh God, her she goes on her 'dealing with death' therapy, I thought. The land was yellow dry and my grandmother had just died. I felt sorry for my mother and imagined the death of my own mother would devastate me far beyond repair. The seedlings were pathetic. Long bare twigs at best.

The Freedom of the Sea
“When I die, I want you to sail out on a boat and spread my ashes in the sea,” my father told me when I was young. We were sitting together on a sailboat, tacking and jibing back and forth around the lake. It was one of my favorite memories, and I enjoyed it so immensely then that I didn’t even want to think of packing up and heading back to shore, let alone my father one day dying.

My Freedom from Toxic Relationships
In researching for this article, I looked up the word “Freedom” on the Wikipedia website expecting to find some grandiose definition of the word. Instead, I found the following: “Freedom is understood as either having the ability to act or change without constraint or to possess the power and resources to fulfill one’s purpose.” The article then goes on to use a Norman Rockwell image titled “Four Freedoms” depicting the four core freedoms the United States fought for in WWII: Freedom of Speech; Freedom of Worship; Freedom from Want; and Freedom from Fear.
