From the Desk of Father Rubey
Friday, April 20, 2018 by
Father Ruby
In May our country celebrates Mother’s Day which is a day when we honor our Mothers who are still here and fondly remember those Mothers who are a part of the hereafter. For those Mothers who are grieving the death of a child from suicide or those children who are grieving the loss of a Mother from suicide this is an especially painful day.
Family Conflict after a Suicide Loss
Friday, April 20, 2018 by
Cynthia Waderlow MSE, LCSW
Infighting and conflict after the death of a primary family member is a difficult but recognized manifestation of grief. Suicide grief, in particular, can take us down to base level, sometimes to our most primitive responses of blame and rage. These initial feelings are common, and often part of the changed world after suicide loss.

Your Children’s Grief Services: How Long?
Sunday, May 01, 2016 by
Cynthia Waderlow MSE, LCSW
Because each bereaved child and each bereaved family is different, it’s challenging to make prescriptive comments about how much professional support to arrange for children and adolescents, and how long that commitment should last. Time seems to be the currency for grief. We start thinking about it as soon as the loss begins. As adults, we commonly doubt that we can manage without something big and well-informed to support us for this formidable journey. So when the LOSS Program for Children and Youth began our initial thoughts about a normal course of grief support for children were similar to the configuration we were accustomed to for adults.
From the Desk of Father Rubey
Sunday, May 01, 2016 by
Father Rubey
During the month of May we celebrate Mother’s Day which is a special day to remember our Mothers both those who are still with us and for those who are in the hereafter. In the vast, vast, vast instances this child is born as a result of human love. Human love is one of the great mysteries in creation. Two people meet at a certain point in their lives and fall in love and a child becomes the result of this love. Why these two people? Why now? There can be other Whys in this equation that really defy an explanation. All of this is part of the mystery of human love.
