Aquaman Party Is Fun Time For Kids Of All Ages

Aquaman Party is a time when not only kids but adults can also participate and enjoy. Aquaman is a super hero who can be called as the King of the Sea. He has the unmatched qualities of breathing underwater, communicate with different sea life telepathically and control them, as well as swim at very high speeds in deep water. It was in November 1941 that the first comic strip of this super hero came out in the market and that is why not only kids but adults can have a lot of fun in this party.

Grief & Loss - Children Losing Parents

According to Weenolsen (1988) loss can be characterized as anything that destroys some aspect of life or self. According to Worden (2002) grief can be characterized as the experience of someone who has lost an important relationship or even an attachment to another person. These concepts can be directly related to the loss of a parent. Losing a parent can be extraordinarily difficult due to the loss of support and characteristics which identify the position and role of a parent as being very special (Despelder & Strickland, 2005). The grieving processes can mean different changes for those within different roles. Older adults who lose their parents do not process or grieve as a child who has lost their parent. I feel that both of these specific roles and experiences are of greatest importance. Issues of culture also maintain consistent changes across societies in how one works through or expresses the loss of their loved ones. Support for children and adults is a very important part of the grieving process and should be connected to characteristics of who children and adults are within their roles and how they respond to such loss.

Divorce To Remarriage - Still Angry? Try The F Word! (part 2)

Last time we discussed why it’s essential to move past anger toward your ex-spouse. Today I want to focus on HOW to do that.

It’s not an easy thing. I’m well aware of that. As I said in the last article, this is probably the most difficult hurdle to clear in moving forward emotionally from a divorce. But, it’s the most important.

The answer is a simple one. Applying the answer is the hard part. The answer is the “F” word - simply forgiveness. Now hold on!!! I know a bunch of you just about jumped out of your seat at that one! Hear me out!
