PET LOSS AND GRIEF

I was listening to a podcast on Grief Refuge where Colin Ellis was being interviewed and interestingly, she was talking about dog owners and dog parents. Initially, I thought that it couldn’t be so different, but as she explained further, I got to understand really what it meant to be a pet parent and I realised at that instant that the relationship I and my family had with our dog Rex was Pet parents.

FEAR IN GRIEF

What makes a person afraid when a loved one dies? I have pondered over this question for years and I would love to get the chance to research further on it.

GRIEVING IN ANGER

Anyone who takes a course on grief must come across Kubler Ross’s stages of grief. And though that theory has been disputed in so many ways, I believe the dispute can only remain within the confines of the prescribed occurrence of the stages. The fact is that a person would experience these emotions or state of mind at one time or the other during the grieving process. The stages referred to here are denial, anger, depression, bargaining, acceptance. There are different ways to view each of these reactions, but let me try to examine anger in this article.

THE DARK TRIAD: CONCLUSION.

And the last Friday of the month of May is here. Time flies by so quickly, it feels like there is something chasing the months, but then the clock still works the same way it has always done, which means the world has become a beehive of activities and while we struggle to wade through one challenge, another comes up and when we manage to pop our heads to see what is happening, we realise it’s a new day.

TEENAGERS WITH DARK TRIAD TRAITS.

I bought an awesome book ‘Authentic love’ by Brennan Mullaney and this is what he had to say in one of his chapters.

MENTAL HEALTH! WHO CARES? WHEN MUMMY IS STRONG!

I wrote this piece some years back in commemoration of Mothers day for Jewels Leading Lights Academy Magazine. The month of May 2022 is observed as Mental Health Awareness month and mother’s day was celebrated just last week. And so, I am posting this again, because the points raised are poignant for an increasing stressful world for mothers and their mental health. I hope you find something helpful as you read on.

THE DARK TETRADS: A DEEPER LOOK INTO THE "LEKKI BABES' SAGA

I read a result from a Google search that said, women are more drawn to men who exhibit traits of the dark tetrad. I would have laughed this off, but then I realised, it’s really plausible, most people who fall in the tetrad category also exude strength, ruggedness, control, fearlessness. These are great specs for a woman seeking a ‘real man’ until you realise it’s not just about that.

GRIEF AND LOSS: THE PAIN OF NEGLECT

According to Fitzpatrick We often think of grief as something we experience only when a loved one dies. But when you loose something that you are attached too, something really precious, your heart gets crushed and you suffer pain and symptoms that are only relatable to grief.

PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE PERSONALITY DISORDER

It is said that in every theory ever written about man’s personality , the most profound question has been ‘where is the person?’. Monte would further break this question in to several others, a few of which are:

CAN THE UNCONSCIOUS TAKE OVER?

There is something interesting about the unconscious ; it is not only a place where contents or issues that have lost intensity go to lie. Jung would argue that the unconscious has a more complex role. It performs retrospective and prospective functions; it is able to look backwards into the past , look forward into the future, and present a solution to a challenge that we are yet to fathom in the conscious.
