Ask Dr. Bob: When Can I Begin Dating


Default blog teaser image

Dr. Bob, 
After my wife died, I thought that I would never enter into a new relationship with another woman. Now, there are times that I think I would like to go out to lunch or something like that with someone of the opposite sex. Generally, these thoughts are accompanied by feelings of guilt. Is there a period of time I need to wait? What concerns should I have, if any? – Feeling Lonely

A Child's View: Back to School


Default blog teaser image

The end of summer; the end of sleeping in; the end of slacking off! 


For many grieving kids, fall can feel like another ending. You may even feel a little afraid to leave the safety of home and family. Nothing and nobody is the same since the death.

But fall can also feel like a new beginning: new teachers, new supplies, new friends, maybe even a new school. Some kids actually feel relieved to get back to the routine. You may be glad to take a break from all the memories and sadness and want to focus on something else for a change.

Facilitating the Grief Process Through Art


Default blog teaser image

​Do you hold in your grief? Do you find it hard to express your feelings verbally? You are not alone! Art Therapy is an excellent approach for moving through the grieving process. It is beneficial even if you do not find it hard to talk about your grief

Creating art is therapeutic in itself. When it is combined with an art project designed to facilitate grief work with members who can be supportive to one another, it is a potent blend. While creating the art or after its completion, people discover feelings of which they were unaware. Sometimes fellow attendees or the art therapist recognize something the participant did not notice.
