Complicated grief is a condition that is more severe than grief and different from depression. With complicated grief, the usual feelings of disbelief, loss, and anguish do not go away and, eventually, affect every part of a person's life. Left untreated, the condition can lead to depression, su***de, drug and alcohol abuse, and even heart disease. Unlike many disorders following bereavement, including depression, it tends to persist for years and can become a chronic distressed state. It is estimated that ten to fifteen percent of the surviving relatives of people who die naturally experience complicated grief. Those who lose someone on whom they were emotionally dependent are at greatest risk. Fortunately, there is effective treatment.

"Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark."

Most people use the terms "casket" and "coffin" interchangeably. Yet, there is a difference, which largely hinges on its design. While both perform the same function of housing the body of the deceased, a coffin features a tapered design that is less wide at the head and feet than it is at the shoulders. A coffin also has a lid, which is completely removable. A casket, on the other hand, has a rectangular shape with a hinged lid. Aside from these specific physical features, each has its own distinct character. While coffins are usually thought to be simple and austere, caskets feature a wider variety of materials and features. The choice depends on personal preference, style, and even religious belief.

It is entirely understandable that concerned visitors may be at a loss as to what to say to a dying friend or family member. Experts suggest that visitors be as open and honest as possible. Attention should be focused upon sharing the experience with the dying person, in hopes of offering strength and understanding in the face of approaching death and the struggle to accept it. When terminal patients are apprised of their conditions, it fosters a sense of partnership with caretakers and promotes a crucial sense of dignity. In this honest environment, patients are better able to come to terms with their fate and discuss it openly. Visitors can then perform the invaluable service of lending a receptive ear.

Death may be inevitable, but the confusion and anxiety that often accompany it need not be. By addressing beforehand the practical matters surrounding death, you can spare your family unnecessary hardship. For this reason alone, everyone should discuss such matters in advance, as well as consider funeral pre-arrangement. Having an honest conversation about death, and what preferences should be followed when it occurs, need not be difficult. In fact, many experience a feeling of relief after this important topic is discussed. Death is a part of life, and funeral arrangements are as important and necessary as planning for other life-altering events. Pre-arranging your funeral takes the necessary steps to ensure that your loved ones are spared needless concern.

"Fear not the sentence of death; why dost thou refuse when it is the good pleasure of the Most High?" - Wisdom of Ben Sira
