Today is the holiday for Veterans day. It is a very difficult and painful day for those that have lost loved ones in the line of War or military duty.

Loved ones are left with the: memories, the emptiness, the loneliness, sadness, grief and loss. It is extremely heavy for those grieving.

It is important that those that have experienced loss and pain process and deal with the loss and death of ones loved ones. It is important that children and teenagers deal and process the loss they are experiencing.

Many people may not verbally express their pain, however, research shows it is important not to repress,stuff,ignore, deflect, the pain.

We can try and numb ourselves out and act as if all is fine but the reality is the: anger, pain, sadness, and loss must be processed to truly heal and maintain health.
