NEW-FOUND APPRECIATION

According to researchers from New Zealand and England who interviewed heart attack survivors three months after hospitalization and breast cancer patients three months after they completed radiation treatment, many of those who faced these life-threatening conditions gained new appreciation for life and the people in it. When asked how the illnesses affected their lives, 51% indicated they had made healthful alterations in their lifestyles, 28% said they had better appreciation of life and health and 24% responded that they had improved their relationships. The question then arises as to why it should take near-tragedy to instill appreciation. Love for the people in our lives should be a precondition of living.

If you wish to be sensitive to someone who is grieving, it is often best to simply express one's sympathy by saying, "I’m sorry for your loss." There is no need to be eloquent. A simple expression of concern can go a long way in alleviating the loneliness of the one who grieves. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton we work hard to offer you what you need as you go through a difficult time. If you have questions about our services, call us at 347-3431. We're here to help and we care about you.
