Young
May the good Lord
be with you down every road you roam, and may sunshine and
happiness surround you
when your far from home, and may you grow to be proud, dignified
and true, and do unto other as you’d
have done to you. Be courageous and be brave, and in my heart
you’ll always stay “Forever Young”.
May good fortune
be with you, may your guiding light be strong, build a stairway
to Heaven whether
prince or vagabond, and may you never love in vain, and in
my heart you will remain, Forever Young.
And when you
finally fly away, I’ll be hoping that I served you well,
for all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can
ever tell, but what
ever road you choose, I’m right behind you win or lose,
Forever Young
Our children don’t
come with Rules, we have such a short time to “give”
them a sense of love
and guidance. Now our children share a grief with
us. We are the Only parent left to them, and we once again,
wish there were
Rules to follow. We look to our souls, and keep within our
hearts the guidance
that we received, but without the partner to share our
hopes and fears, we
often do nothing and close the book on parenting
with a great heavy sigh. Now we can share, and receive the
guidance we
all miss so much, and wish our children all the wisdom of
the ages, as
they remain for us “Forever Young”.
Teenagers
The suggestions
in this article are general, to fit a wide range of ages.
Individuals vary, and so do their responses.
Teenagers
can sometimes get caught in the middle. They understand more
than little children do. But the pain, fear, and
feelings of abandonment are just as strong and raw.
Since they
look like adults, people may make the mistake of thinking
that teens have adult ways to cope. a quiet teenager, as well
as a talkative one, might give the impression that they are
doing better than they really are. Sometimes significant adults
mistakenly keep a low profile. Older children may try to:
·
Protect a parent or avoid hurting a parent
·
Feel they need
to take the place of the person who died
·
Conceal feelings or actions they may be too ashamed to admit
The emotional
turmoil of adolescence can add to the confusion. Whether the
death was recent or long ago--when a child enters puberty,
the loss will be keenly felt.
