Don't Be Afraid to Say No and Take Some Time

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe." Friedrich NietzscheGerman philosopher (1844 - 1900)

I chose this quote because often when one is dying or grieving society expects more than what we have to give. Often we are expected to move on as if nothing is happening or has even happend. This is where we need to use our voice for ourselves and others. Studies show it's important to have some time alone, rest is needed, so when you feel the need or see someone being pushed when they need to rest don't be afraid, speak up.... Laurie

"We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure." -Cesar Chavez

"It is helpful to remember that ego strength and growth come from struggle."
-Sally Dunning, A.C.S.W. Family Styles Child Bereavement Project
