Grief can be exhausting. You may not have the energy to do the things you did prior to the death of your loved one. At times it may seem that losing them is more than you can bear. You may feel that life will never be enjoyable again. You may question what "normal" is. You might feel that you are the only one who has ever felt like this. Perhaps you notice changes in your eating and/or drinking habits. Maybe you are having problems sleeping or are sleeping much more than usual. You may wonder if there is something wrong with you.

"What happens after death?" "Why are we here?"


These are some of the most common questions people ask. There are as many differing theories as there are beliefs and religions. Yet, we still want to know.

In Embraced by the Light, Betty J. Eadie shares her near-death experience from the viewpoint of a Christian. She speaks of an "enormous energy" that encompassed her. She describes what it was like to enter "the tunnel" and who was there to greet her when she "crossed over." She tells about the knowledge she gained, and why she believes we are here.

Cyber bullying has become a major problem in the United States and throughout the world. Cyber bullying is when someone repeatedly makes fun of another person online or posts something negative about someone through social networks, email or text message.
