Depression – Last Year Of Life

Depression – Last Year Of Life

Depression impacts quality of life at all life stages, but little is known about the factors related to depression in the last year of life. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that 59.3% of individuals had depression in the last month before death. In the interview-based study that included 3,274 individuals who died by the end of the study, depression symptoms increased gradually from 12 to 4 months before death and then escalated from 4 to 1 months before death.

Remembering Loved Ones

Ideas for Remembering Loved Ones

For many of you, planning for the upcoming holiday brings a sense of excitement and is something you look forward to. For others, not so much, and that includes those who have had a significant person in their lives die—a person whose presence is so blatantly missing that the holidays become a time to "get through" rather than a time to enjoy.

2017 – Live Your Best Life Luncheon

griefHaven Annual Fundraising Luncheon Friends of griefHaven Fundraising Council Members Luxe Hotel – Los Angeles, California October 17, 2017 This year’s speaker was Jesse Billauer, a world champion surfer whose tragic story of utter despair and loss, eventually led him to a life he dared not imagine at the time of his horrific accident—a life that today includes many of his dreams he thought would never be possible since he became a quadriplegic: a beautiful and loving wife, twin boys filled with wonder in their eyes, and a nonprofit foundation that supports quadriplegic people everywhere. His inspirational story gave everyone pause and that chance to remember—we can go on and have a beautiful, loving, and meaningful life. Share in the day by wandering through our photos, and feel the love as you click on the PowerPoint tribute presentations. Hopefully, one year, you will join us at this special event. Mark […]

Christmas in heaven

My First Christmas In Heaven

When I lost my child, the earth ceased to spin.
The moon will not rise, the tide won’t come in.
The sun insists on having its way,
Blasting its rays and rising each day.
Another day comes, my child is not here;
Another day comes, I live my worst fear.
Each morning I wake with the same painful thought;

Keep Calm And Carry On – Rabbi Steven Reuben – 2020

A guy is bragging to his friend that he has a dog who is so talented he can do anything he is commanded to do. The friend says, “OK let’s try a simple command first,” so he picks up a stick, throws it a distance and commands the dog, “Fetch!” The dog looks up at him for a moment, doesn’t even move and instead begins shouting, “All day long people tell me what to do. Roll over! Jump! Go through the fiery hoop! Good dog. Bad dog. Sit! Heal. Eat this! Don’t eat that! I can’t take it anymore. It’s no fun being a dog. I hate it. I wish I were never born! The fellow interrupts the dog and tells him with a sense of frustration, “All I asked you to do was fetch.”
