I would like to add that it was an interesting experience to set a sincere intention of compassion.The results speak volumes.
Also, great problem - death is just not "trendy" in Western culture. it's not a 300lb gorilla. It's a 3,000 ton gorilla.
I am "re-Ninging" Peter's comment. (If one can "re-Ning" the way that one "re-Tweets?") "Uttering words is action. It's worth trying inaction in a situation like the one you describe (although doing nothing, saying nothing, is paradoxically a kind...
Hi Dan,
When my ex husband lost his young wife in 2007 . I knew I would be seeing him and I dreaded it. I waited three months before I allowed myself to respond to his grief in person...we sent a card and flowers to the funeral of course...that wa...

The article reminds me of some of the co -op/ community houses that started up in the late sixties and seventies.They were part of the political left at the time and many of the individuals became quite successful as they developed their potential...

In such a situation (as in all others!) the crucial element is to be present. When someone, even someone you don't know, shares that they have lost someone in their life, be present, open your heart. Maybe you will be moved to say something, maybe...
Joe is not being completely honest with himself about being detached enough to deal with an open relationship. In the premise he's OK as long as he doesn't see anything that really shows him that Sue's having sex with someone else.
I don't feel th...
I wonder if I described the situation or what I am seeking well? Or if I am just not...in the same place to understand the responses.
Has anyone here ran into a coworker or friend or ex that has recently lost someone, and when they informed you t...
Hi Dan
Perhaps there is nothing to say.
