		<description><![CDATA[We grow up with the conventional thinking that we will become adults and our parents will grow old and die before we do. Furthermore, our children will grow up to be adults and we will predecease them in old age.  Fortunately for most, the flow of life and death follows that pattern. But for some, the sequence and timing get messed up and it takes an emotional and behavioral toll.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We think of the Christmas holidays as a time of joy and celebration, a time of giving and receiving, and above all, a family time.  Unfortunately for lots of us, life intervenes and we find ourselves dealing with grief at the holidays. Many are entering the Christmas season with a keen awareness that one or more of their family will be missing, whether by death, divorce or circumstance.  So the question is this: is there a way to enjoy the holiday season while dealing with grief?

		<description><![CDATA[My oldest daughter, Monique, died suddenly in December. It has been a difficult time, especially on top of the death of a son earlier in the year.
As a parent I can&#8217;t help but ponder the &#8220;why&#8221; question.
I wrote an article, Grieving the Death of a Child. The article is about grieving, not about alcohol use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My oldest daughter, the mother of my first grandchild and the grandmother of my two great grandchildren, died suddenly three weeks ago. She was my third child to go. Grief is an emotion we all will experience at some point in life. The loss through death of someone near to us is an inevitable part of life. Intellectually, we all get this truth, but experientially, it takes some of us a long time to get the lesson. ]]></description>
