These harbingers of spring givethe textured winter landscape the burst of color itneeds; others also perfume the air. Camille pointed toother emerging flowers and shrubs that lend color tothe garden like Lenten roses, winter jasmine, floweringquince, and kerria.

Death and Dying: Paradoxical Life Experiences by Michael Haro, Ph.D., CLC
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, known by many as a master teacher for helping both thepatient and loved ones understand death and dying. She is noted for her five stagesof death and dying, which are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.Each of the five stages help develop understanding and coping skills for managingthe process of dying. Understanding each stage and applying them are guidancetools benefiting dying patients and loved ones close to the dying patient. Learningto frame one’s feelings by utilizing and understanding of each of the five stagestends to be extremely beneficial to all involved. This quote supports the reason forthis article: “No one can tell you what to expect or can offer a guide to grief. Because everyrelationship is so unique, no two people grieve the same way. And you have noidea how you are going to grieve till you are grieving.” (Alysia Reiner) Utilizing the five stages, stage one – denial – is relevant because it reflects thefear of personal death and/or the death of a loved one. Denial attempts to reject thatthe experience can be true (made by loved ones), or a mistake has been maderegarding a serious or death diagnosis afflicting me. Not wanting to deal with anaccelerated condition of death intensifies the denial reaction. Point of assistance: When discussing the situation with patient or family mem-bers, allow personal venting without interference or direction. After a peak isreached, open the discussion with a question. For example, “What is your greatestfear?” Take fears one at a time. Don’t interrupt or point out inaccuracies; just allowthe venting. Once denial is overcome, stage two, anger, continues the process. Anger turnsto the “Why Me?” or “Why my loved one?” thought processing. Anger is an irra-tional emotion and driven by reactionary thoughts. These thoughts are operating outof automatic thought processing and generating automatic behaviors. These are
thoughts driving behaviors without reasoning judgments. Blaming doctors or envi-ronmental conditions overtakes reasoning concepts and are vented with emotions. Point of assistance: Anger can be addressed directly by pointing out observa-tions of the anger. For example: “You are starting to use a language I’ve never heardfrom you. Can you tell me why?” or “You are really upset today. Want to discusswhat you are thinking?” In an effort to adjust or change the diagnosis, the third stage, bargaining mayemerge. Generally associated with conversations and promises involving God, or ahigher power, negotiations often begin. Promises of potential changes or adjust-ments in behavior or simply negotiating for more time, such as waiting on the birthof a child, a wedding, graduation, or other special event of significance. Point of assistance: Bargaining is generally a private point for either patient orone directly related to the patient’s experience. Here again, inviting the person todiscuss thoughts and feelings is one of the most supportive factors you can offer.Once discussion has started, allow the person to vent. They will ask you a questionif they want input. Denial, anger, and bargaining are all based on emotionally driven thoughts. Allthree perpetuate and present irrational thinking, and at times present hopes of divineintervention. Reality eventually enters the scene and the moments of hope begin torevert back to reality, resulting in deepening negative realities. Depression, the fourth stage, is noted by withdrawal and expressions of givingup. “What’s the use?” “Is this all there is?” “I give up; it’s no use to fight on!”Withdrawal is most difficult for loved ones, especially those still exhibiting signs ofbargaining or continuing to battle denial and anger. They continue to reject realityand don’t want the patient to give up. Their anger deepens as they see the patient’sdepression escalate. They see their loved one giving up. Point of assistance: Hold the patient’s hand; talk to them about happy memoriesyou’ve shared. You maintain the dialogue. Every once in a while, ask is theyremembers the memory. Don’t expect feedback but if it comes, encourage it to con-tinue. Whatever stage death occurs, remember this: They have reached acceptance.Your loved one has proceeded through the Kubler-Ross levels. It is now your turnto move yourself to the acceptance level. Hopefully, this quote will assist you as youfinalize your journey through the death and dying levels: “If the condition of grief is nearly universal, its transactions are exquisitely per-sonal.” (Meghan O’Rourke) In closing, knowing the stages of death and dying are truly helpful roadmaps forunderstanding and managing the death of a loved one. Your personal journeythrough the death process is also important. Be your own best friend. Be fair toyourself. Your loved one has left you with many memories. Spend time dwellingwith these memories. Also, do yourself a favor. Write them down. Start a journal.As you write you will be putting things in writing that will never be forgotten. Anytime you wish to review, you can pick up your journal and visit your loved one! Thiswill keep the love flowing.

Billy Harris started his Roofing Company inBenbrook 43 years ago in 1973 and has maintainedexceptional customer reviews and awards year afteryear.
Billy's advice: 1. Don't panic - especially if you're not leaking. Ifyou're leaking, find a local contractor to do an emer-gency repair and your insurance will cover the cost. 2. Don't feel like you have to use a contractor yourinsurance provides. Be cautious of the buddy system. 3. Meet with a few contractors and compare applesto apples. 4. Don't sign anything until you select a contractorand it's an official contract or proposal listing outeverything they're doing with a dollar amount shown. 5. Find a local contractor. 6. Don't always trust Google when searching for alocal contractor. Contractors will find an address inyour area to get on the first page. Drive by the addressto verify they have an office. 7. Make sure they are insured for your protection.Make them provide a current copy. 8. Don't get pressured by the contractor to haveyour roof installed the next day. That's a red flag thatthe contractor is hurting for work. 9. Do not give the contractor a penny until thework has been completed and you are satisfied.
