The Hampton Herald

It's no secret that I love my kitties. I have two cats, Darla (age 13) and Rufus (age 10), and I consider them to be more than mere pets; they are my “fur babies”. They are also incredibly spoiled, willful, demanding, and needy. I take full responsibility for their bad manners since I was fairly young when Darla came home and I thought it was just “so cute” that she liked to sit on my table, crawl through my cupboards and yowl when she wanted attention. When Rufus joined our little family unit, I had learned that discipline was my friend, but with Darla's bad influence, Rufus doesn't have many manners either, although she, at least, doesn't yowl. Needless to say, Kevin and I did not start dating until long after I had spoiled my fur babies rotten; had he been present from the beginning, I'm quite certain, and Kevin assures me, that Darla and Rufus would understand that the humans in the home are in charge, and not the other way around. When Kevin moved in, he did try to impose some control, unfortunately the cats have me very well trained and, despite Kevin's best efforts, I still tend to spoil them. The cats grew up sleeping with me and it took almost a month for me to break myself of the habit of letting them into the bedroom at night. I honestly think the change was harder for me than for the cats! Despite the difficulties posed by loving two spoiled kitties, they certainly make life interesting. As I am writing

this, Rufus is bird watching from our patio window. She thinks I can't see her, but is unaware that her feet are sticking out underneath the curtain. I can see them twitching in excitement. Darla has a blue plastic spring that she is absolutely in love with. It's her favourite toy and she will leap, pounce, run and attack that silly thing all hours of the day. Rufus is less refined in her taste of toys... she likes to steal the plastic covers from milk cartons. We also play fetch with a leather belt loop she scavenged when we cleanedout the closet. For me, the joy of watching them chase inanimate objects and lounge in their favourite sunny spot makes up for any trials and tribulations which may transpire when dealing with an opinionated feline. Kevin is less convinced, but I have often caught him cuddling with one of the cats. There is something so satisfying about having a lap-full of purring fur baby, cuddles and snuggles being a great way to end the day. Truly, I can't imagine life without them. 0001

PIC OF THE MONTH

Hampton Mall, Hampton, NB

Congratulations to Leslie Cole, who submitted this photo of sunrise in the Hampton area to the “Pic of the Month” contest for March. Leslie has won a Movie Pass (for two, including drinks & popcorn), compliments of Ossekeag Publishing. “April Showers & Waterdrops” is the theme for April. Karl’s tips: you want to convey motion, so secure camera to tripod or on a ledge, create your composition and with a slow shutter speed you will see that the rain streaks by giving a sense of motion. Likewise shooting the splattering in the puddles also conveys motion; In regards to water droplets you will need to mount your camera to a tripod, go manual focus and focus on a droplets or a line of droplets (like on a web). You will likely need supplemental lighting either with a off camera flash or a flash

light. To make it more interesting place a flower behind the droplets, then focus carefully on the droplet to be amazed at the upside down image of the flower within the droplet. Please visit our website: Ossekeag.ca to see the runner-up photo for March and sample photos of our theme for April (photo credit to Bev England). Remember - no people or pets please, digital copies only and photos must be horizontal (landscape) not vertical (portrait). Only photos relating to the current theme will be considered. Submissions are to be emailed, as attachments, to editorial@ossekeag. ca and must be received by the 25 of each month. Contest winner will be notified by email when selection is made and vouchers must be picked up within 30 days. Happy shooting!! 0037 th

IN THE GARDEN PREPARING FOR “DIGGING DAYS” Spring will be a little late this year, but it will come, never fear! Wouldn’t it be great if Mother Nature would just keep to the calendar? It will be quite a while before we can actually get digging, however the snow is melting fast in the spring sunshine and there are plenty of useful things that we can do before the ‘diggable days’ arrive. First and foremost is a major pick up of fallen branches; there has been no shortage of fierce winds during the winter and the detritus needs to be removed before mowing can safely commence. Many of the branches have been wrenched from trees and bushes leaving torn and damaged limbs in their wake; these will need to be pruned back to a healthy area as soon as possible so that new growth can gather all the goodness available. Broken limbs can still continue to produce weak growth, taking strength from the tree before dying from their injuries. Speaking of mowing, this is a great time

HALL

for doing some maintenance on your mowers, and if you depend as I do on the skills of a mechanic, then it is prudent to make a date now with one of these magical chaps. By the time these chores are complete we should be able to have a go at the flower borders; but with care and restraint! Beneath the soil are many bulbs and perennials that will not see the light of day for several weeks and the danger of digging up, or worse, slicing into a treasured bulb is ever present. If you can, reach into the border and remove leaves from around the plants and prevent the mould that can grow there, particularly prevalent with the Iris family. Refrain from raking as this can seriously damage young shoots hiding in the leaves, by handpicking the leaves you can also catch hold of and demolish a variety of undesirable pests still groggy from their winter sleep before they multiply. Now you can start on the most rewarding early spring exercise; edging! A good

half moon edger, a border fork and a wheelbarrow and you can transform a border into a work of art without the risk of damage to your plants. The turf that is removed can be dumped in the compost and the soil remaining scooped up toward the border leaving a smart edge. It is fairly safe while you do this to remove any weeds within a foot of the edge as most plantings will be beyond that point. Blessings.

FAMILY MATTERS MONEY MANAGEMENT MATTERS With this being tax season it seems appropriate to write about strategies families can use to teach money management at home. Money management is an important life skill but learning this skill is made more challenging with our paperless – cashless society. This life skill doesn’t have to be complicated and you can turn everyday activities into important monetary management lessons. Here are seven ways parents can teach their kids about financial responsibility. Use actual money to make purchases. Bills and coins make transactions more real. As a family, practice making change by playing store. Give your children a set amount of money and let them help you plan a grocery list and/or a list of activities to do each month. Teach the four components of money management: spending, saving, investing, and donating through an allowance. Give your kiddos four separate containers and allow your children to decide where their

money goes. Giving kids an allowance is a great way to teach hands-on money management. Invite your children to “help” with bill paying by giving them a play checkbook and showing them how to write checks. Role model bill paying and make it comfortable for your children to talk about money and how it is spent and saved in your household. Explain your purchasing decisions and the transactions you’re making. Tell stories (real anecdotes) about good and bad money management to convey your monetary values and commitments. For example, you could share with them the worst financial mistake you ever made and how you learned from that experience. Teach your kids how good it feels to earn money by helping them start their own business. They can help collect and price their toys, clothes or other items for a yard sale, clean house or perform yard work. Your kiddos can provide animal

caretaking services for neighbors, write stories, make cards to sell to family and friends or make artwork or jewelry to put up for sale. When shopping with your children, show them how to compare items for price and value. (This includes trips to the toy store.) Get your kids to look at the cost of groceries, such as milk, eggs, bread or macaroni and cheese, or compare the cost of toys. This week be patient and consistent as your children learn to be a good money managers and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

ICE BREAK-UP CONTEST When will the ice will leave Belleisle Bay? Last year, it moved out, off Hatfield Point Wharf on March 13 at 11:38am. Linda Teakles had the lucky guess and that was the earliest time recorded since 1897! The year before, Sean Reynolds had the right guess with April 26 at 7:48pm. What will it be this year? The ice was 16" thick at the beginning of March and some brave souls are still ice fishing. The latest date recorded was May 9, 1939!

Sponsored by the Belleisle Watershed Coalition, funds raised will go to promote a sustainable environment in this significant ecological area. The dates of the ice break up were important to shipping on the Bay in the days when the riverboats travelled from Saint John. Now, ice break up means summer fun. Tickets are a toonie each, available at local stores such as Belleisle Creek Convenience or Valley View in

Midland. Winner with the right time and date will receive 50% of revenue after expenses. 1000 tickets are available. Winner will be announced May 4 at Springfield Community Centre, 7:00pm. For more information, contact Sharon Cunningham 608-1503 for Belleisle Watershed Coalition, Inc. 4474

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS About 30 years ago we were approached by local teachers to see if we could find a way to help a small group of ‘at risk’ children to prepare for their introduction to school life; some children, lacking necessary social skills, were being suspended from school for totally unacceptable behaviour, indeed some situations were so dire, that they were dismissed! The very ones that most needed educating were left out! Over the years we have also been able to help many children with special needs and from low income families. Funding for Headstart was acquired from a consortium of churches and a qualified teacher and volunteer assistants turned this whole situation around to the delight of teachers, parents, children and the Food Basket. When the initial funding ran out, a grant from the government enabled the program to continue until the present time; the government will no longer provide assistance for this vital work. We are seeking support from the public to fund us as we seek to find

a steady source of revenue by other means. Contributions for Headstart can made to your local church or can be made via Internet through the Canada Helps web site, under the Hampton Food Basket, clearly marked for Hampton Headstart. We offer the most sincere thanks to the Hampton United Church for their generous support of this outreach; for 30 years we have used their facility, full use of the hall, kitchen, washrooms and storage space, heat and lights. It would be hard to assess the value of these things and they have all been freely given with very little public thanks or acknowledgement. In addition to this, the Church has provided a visit from Santa and his elves every Christmas. Please help us to continue to see that everyone gets a fair chance at a good education. We are grateful for wonderful financial support from both the Hampton and the Pickwauket Lions clubs recently for the Food Basket, and a major donation from the Rotary Club toward the Headstart. Thank You!

The Food Basket will prepare on April 19 from 8:00 until 10.00am and will be serving clients on April 20 from 8:30 until 11:00am. Clients must come on that day or arrange for someone to pick up for them, providing both a medicare number and a note to confirm the arrangement. There will be no emergency provisions except for people new to the area. Our volunteers will be on hand to do tax returns, bring your paperwork and take advantage of this free and confidential service. We have clients in need of; a vacuum cleaner, a small dresser and a tri light, if you can help with this please call Janice at 832 4340.

LIFE bALANCE YOGA - WORTH EXPLORING In keeping in line with the last post on relaxation methods, this week’s post will introduce another exercise that can be incorporated to help you relax more. Yoga might be a practice worth exploring if you are looking to couple your meditative practice in hopes of deepening it, or perhaps meditation isn’t for you, but you are still looking for the benefits. Libby Clark, a Calgary-based yoga instructor praises yoga for its farreaching mental and physical benefits. In addition to helping calm your mind and slowing down those intrusive thoughts, yoga can also help you better deal with moments of anxiety, improve your digestive system, increase the quality of your sleep, as well as improve your overall physical health. Finding a yoga instructor that fits your personality and reflects what you want to gain in the practice is essential in fully benefiting from the exercise.

The next step is finding a studio that offers sessions that work with your schedule. When I began incorporating yoga in my daily routine, I found it difficult to adhere to any given schedule of sessions offered by the yoga studios that I frequented. I soon realized that the flexibility inherent in doing yoga from home was better suited for me. Soon after this realization, I began my search for an online platform that could offer the same variety, engagement and benefits of a live instructor within a yoga studio. In doing my research, I eventually came across the YouTube channel Yoga with Adriene. This channel offers free, diverse yoga videos for yogis of all stages. Examples of videos include: yoga for the on-the-go person who wants a short 10 minute pick-meup session; yoga for the person who prefers exercising in the morning (or

at night); yoga for the person who wants a real core workout; yoga for the person who wants a more relaxed session, etc. In my opinion, this is by far one of best free online yoga platforms that I have come across. 0040

MORE THAN FITNESS SPRING IN TO FITNESS! Spring is now upon us and it is the season that is perfect for new beginnings! With the longer days and warmer weather soon to come, it is a great time to find the motivation needed to begin a new exercise program or to take your current program up a notch. As the weather begins to improve, you can begin to incorporate some outdoor fitness activities to your program, taking advantage of warmer weather to get out and get some fresh air and shake off the winter blahs. In addition to the many health benefits of physical activity, being active can also improve your mood, enhance your life and help to burn off stress, and getting out in the fresh air can enhance all of these things.

Spring is a time to get back out and begin to explore the trails that have been covered in snow or to dust off your bike and get it tuned up and ready to hit the road. Find activities that you enjoy and get the entire family out for fun filled fitness activities and fresh air. We are very fortunate here in Hampton to have a wonderful, well maintained trail system for our use. We are also very lucky to have local groups that promote outdoor activities such as the Hampton River Runners – a very supportive group that welcomes newcomers of all fitness levels. At Lifestyles, we will still be gearing up for our hiking and biking club to strike out for outdoor adventure. If you find the winter months

difficult and the cold weather and shorter days hard to deal with, the return of spring is a time for rejuvenation – a time to explore new possibilities and get back out to enjoy some activities that may have gone by the wayside during the colder months. Get out and enjoy all the possibilities for new adventure that come along with spring! 0044

have the means or the opportunity to do so. But the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is giving them the means and the opportunity. And it is only through their education that we will answer Malala’s call to balance the scales of gender equality that are currently heavily weighted toward men. Malala continued: “We want schools and education for every child’s bright future… So let us wage a glorious struggle against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism, let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one

pen can change the world. Education is the only solution.” The Partnership’s first fundraiser of the year, the Potluck for Piggs Peak, has just finished. A packed house listened, and sang along, as Hampton’s own incredibly talented, Jessica Rhaye, sang: “I’ve got hope that shines. It’s with me all the time… If it gives my heart a hand to hold, I know I’ll be all right.” As much as anything, an education for a girl in Piggs Peak gives her hope; hope for a better future; hope that shines through the cloud of poverty, disease and despair that casts its shadow over Swaziland. If you are a woman who wants to answer Malala’s call, you can participate in her “glorious struggle” by becoming a Starfish sponsor for as little as $25/month. You will be offering a helping hand… a hand for a girl’s heart to hold; a hand to lift her up and let her know she will be alright.

Malala Yousafzai is the Pakistani girl shot in an attempted assassination by the Taliban in October 2012. Malala was targeted for her activism in seeking rights for women and education for girls. Later, she spoke these words to the United Nations: “I am focusing on women’s rights and girls’ education because they are suffering the most. There was a time when women activists asked men to stand up for their rights. But this time we will do it by ourselves. I am not telling men to step away from speaking for women’s rights, but I am focusing on women to be independent and fight for themselves. So dear sisters and brothers, now it’s time to speak up.” “We call upon all governments to ensure free, compulsory education all over the world for every child… We call upon the developed nations to support the expansion of education opportunities for girls in the developing world.” Unfortunately, the government of Swaziland does not provide free high school education. While girls are permitted to attend, they often don’t

UNFILTERED SPRING AHEAD WITH FANTASTIC WHITE & ROSE WINES! Spring is finally in the air! Time to bring out the barbecue, wash the salt off of our cars, and go shopping for some nice refreshing white wines and roses. This time of year and throughout the summer heavy reds can be a little bit too much. Tis the season for light

reds, whites, roses and Mamosa! With Easter just around the corner as well I thought that this week I would like to recommend some really good quality whites and roses available that would be lovely to serve with a ham or turkey dinner.

E SAL W NO ON TIL D UN 22N IL APR

When it comes to whites many people tend to gravitate. Pinot Grigio is a good wine, don’t get me wrong, but it can get very boring very fast. There are many more interesting and complex white wines and roses to try. My list below is made up of many different styles of wines, Have fun experimenting with whites and roses that you may not be familiar with. This is especially true when it comes to roses which are often mistakenly thought of as being sweet when in fact the best roses are dry. Nothing says Spring like a beautiful glass of rose. The wines that I am suggesting this week are each excellent examples of good quality wines. They have complexity, lovely aromas on the nose and pleasant finishes. Any of them would pair perfectly with your ham or turkey Easter dinner. Quail’s Gate Chardonnay from Canada; Mission Hill 5 Vineyards Pinot Grigio from Canada; Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Riesling from Washington State; Don David Torrontes from Argentina; Famille Bourgier Vouvray From France; Chloe Chardonnay from US; Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand; Wild Olive Chenin Blanc from South Africa; Kim Crawford Pansy Rose from New Zealand; Perrin Le Vielle Ferme Rose from France. 0042

Happy

EASTER

Easter

As is true for most of us, as I grow older I am realizing how much things have changed since I was a child. When I was growing up, we would decorate the house with pretty pastel baskets full of bunnies and chicks. We “helped” mom

and dad blow the contents out of eggs so that we could decorate the shells and set up elaborate scenes with the Easter eggs, cardboard cut-out train and mini figurines. This was all in preparation for the main event because Easter meant chocolate. End of story. I looked forward to waking up to a basket of chocolate eggs and treats, to the point of not being able to sleep the night before. That being said, in our home, regardless of my fondness for sugary treats, Easter was more about family togetherness than about presents and candy. Depending on the weather, we may go for a hike and have a picnic supper, or spend the day with extended family at my grandparent’s home. Now, the idea of family is even more important to me. Kevin and I don’t decorate for Easter, as the Easter bunny doesn’t stop at our house. Instead, we look forward to family events and seeing loved ones. Kevin’s family always has a lunch with all of the aunts, uncles and cousins. It’s a wonderful tradition, as we are all so busy this is the perfect opportunity to catch up. The

family is large enough that we rent a church hall and have a pot-luck lunch. On one occasion, we were all apparently in the “sugar is my friend” mood as most of us brought dessert. Not the most nutritious offering, but we certainly enjoyed it. My family will usually descend on someone’s house for dinner. Again, the cousins have an opportunity to play together while my parents, siblings and our respective partners chat. One year, Kevin and I hosted, serving hot and cold appetizers, while our nieces and nephews conducted an Easter egg hunt. Another year, we all met at my sister’s house for pasta and salad. Most often, we go “home” for Easter dinner. There is something so special about returning to your parents’ house on these occasions. Although Mom sold our childhood home, my siblings and I still view her new house as “home”, simply because that is where she is. We all crowd into the living room and kitchen, pretending to “help” mom and Jim put the finishing touches on supper while secretly sneaking pickles from the tray, scooping out the desserts and generally adding to the hustle and bustle. Far more than the chocolate (which I confess to still love, and bring home despite not having any children of my own to buy treats for) Easter has come to mean a time to spend with loved ones creating memories.

Home Improvement Growing up, I used to watch mom begin her spring-cleaning during the March Break. She would scrub walls and floors, wash the windows and clean out closets and drawers. As the weather became warmer, she would move outside, pulling weeds, edging the gardens and pouring through seed catalogs in preparation for spring planting. Dad would be busy downstairs in the garage, puttering with the lawn mower and tinkering with other tools in preparation for his upcoming spring and summer projects. It

always amazed me how busy my parents were around the house and I can remember thinking “when I grow up, that won’t be me. I’ll make sure that I have time to relax and read and enjoy myself ”. Now that I have my own home, I understand why mom and dad were so busy; I also understand that these projects were less about “work” and more about that sense of pride in home ownership.

off while dealing with the trials and tribulations of the winter season in the maritime provinces. Whether it is adding a refreshing coat of paint to a room or general maintenance to decks and roofs, the improving weather makes it possible to get out and start those home improvement projects. In our home, that generally means a “honey do” list for Kevin full of the boring, general maintenance projects that need done, but I don’t Spring is the perfect time to jump want to deal with.

the combinations and ideas are endless. Tips and tricks for home gardening can be found in magazines and many websites. The one tip each source agrees on is whether you decide to seek the experience of a pro, or are more a do-it-yourself person, a strong start makes for an easier season. For me, this means raking the yard and filling in sparse spots in the lawn with grass seed. Before I ever set foot in a nursery or garden center, I weed and edge the garden, repair any holes in the rock wall and turn over the earth. Once the “work” is done, it’s time to start adding colour with fresh blooms.

HHS SCHOLARSHIP & BURSARY FOUNDATION The members of The Hampton High School and Bursary Foundation would like to remind both students and parents the deadline for applications is May 12, 2017. Applications are available at the following website: hamptonhigh.ca or from the Guidance office at Hampton High School. Since 1994 scholarships and bursaries have been awarded to enable Hampton High students to reach their educational goals. Here is an update from a previous recipient: Alex Locke graduated from HHSl in 2009 and was the proud recipient of the AJ Hourihan Memorial Scholarship. That fall, Alex enrolled in the UNB Saint John Arts program before realizing his interest laid elsewhere and transferred to UNB’s Fredericton campus. There Alex pursued a Bachelor of Recreation and Sport Studies in the Kinesiology program and found that it was something he was very passionate about. Alex graduated with his bachelor’s degree and was named

to the Dean’s List. After university Alex was hired on as the Leisure Services Coordinator for the Town of Hampton and has been working there ever since. He lives in Hampton with his dog Boston. His favourite part about where his path ended up, is that he gets to make a positive contribution to the community in which he grew up on a daily basis. We encourage all graduates to contact us at: hhsscholarshipfoundation@ gmail.com. The growth in the scholarship and bursary fund at Hampton High School reflects the value that higher education holds for our community; however the need to enhance these awards is ongoing. Anyone wishing to donate to the award of their choosing may do so by sending cheques issued to the Hampton High School Scholarship and Bursary Foundation Inc., at 34 Elizabeth Ave, Hampton NB E5N 5P7. All donations are tax deductible. 4470

LIVE WELL GETTING RID OF WINTER BLUES!! Spring has sprung… kind of! There is something hopeful, warm, and promising about a sunny day in March. The light, which during winter represents an icy and fleeting glow, is now a warm blanket trying to reheat the frozen ground and our frozen hands. Having gained an hour of sunlight, our bodies and minds are starting to remember warm summer nights and the long, sunburnt days spent at the beach. Not only is the sunlight a reminder of summer, but it is a ray of hope for those suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Strangely enough, the exact causes of Seasonal Affective Disorder, ironically abbreviated as SAD, are still unknown. However, with the present research, experts believe SAD to be a form of depression resulting from seasonal variations in sunlight. The brain uses temperature and sunlight to regulate the body’s daily cycle of waking, eating, sleeping, etc. During winter, the decline

in temperature and hours of daily sunlight can cause a disruption in the brain’s circadian rhythm, also known as the “body clock”. Without a proper functioning “body clock”, depression-like symptoms can appear. The most common symptoms for SAD include: fatigue, weight gain, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of anxiety or despair. Although only 2-3% of people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, approximately 15% of people living in the northern hemisphere report experiencing the less severe “winter blues”. SAD symptoms typically occur in the months of November and December, and disappear by April or May. For some, the symptoms disappear drastically, but for others, the symptoms disappear over time. Those suffering from SAD and the winter blues can benefit from increased exposure to sunlight. For people with mild symptoms, spending time outdoors and increasing exercise may be sufficient remedies. In addition, a winter vacation to a warm and sunny destination may temporarily relieve SAD symptoms - not

a bad way to release serotonin! For those suffering from a severe case of Seasonal Affective Disorder, light therapy is a simple and non-invasive therapy option. Light therapy involves sitting directly underneath a special fluorescent lightbox for 10 to 15 minutes daily, depending on the severity of the diagnosis. The lightbox replicates the sun’s light and helps restore the brain’s circadian rhythms. Like depression or bipolar disorder, antidepressant medications are effective for relieving SAD symptoms. Thanks to change in light, little buds of happiness are blooming across Saint John. The winter makes Canadians stronger and able to enjoy summer for what it truly is: a beautiful time to be alive, with smiling faces and freckled cheeks. 0008 Judy Urquhart MSW, RSW Gentle Path, Executive Director

HHS ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS Ms. Myers’ Foundations of Math 111 class at Hampton High School has been working on various environmental projects for the past few months. They were inspired to get involved after watching the National Geographic documentary Before the Flood. One of the first steps in the project is to collect data from the students of Hampton High. The class developed a survey to find out opinions and behaviours regarding environmental issues around the school. Students at Hampton High School will be asked to complete the survey at school by the end of April. If students wish to complete the survey at home, the website is hhsenergeydiet.weebly.com. The Hampton Environment Committee has also developed a survey for residents of Hampton. Adults who would like to complete this survey can find it at: https://goo.gl/forms/ PTswiHIhhySSL45b2. In addition to the survey, the class has begun planning a greenhouse to be built on the HHS property, in collaboration with the Hampton

Community Garden, the Hampton Environment Committee, and the Framing and Sheathing class of Hampton High. Plans are underway, and they are currently in search of funding. They hope to begin the greenhouse construction in the fall of 2017. The students have also planned a seed swap for members of the community. The idea of this event is to promote environmentally friendly behaviours, and gardening at home. The seed swap is to be held on Saturday, April 15 from 1:00-4:00pm at Hampton High School. As well as the swap, there will be guest speakers, including Dave Wolpin from Kredl’s Corner Market and Betty Kennett, activities for children and light refreshments. Be sure to stop by, bring some extra seeds or a small donation and get involved in the swapping! For more information on this exciting project go to: hhsenergydiet.weebly. com or their Facebook page, HHS Environmental Project. 4476

ASK MARY BEREAVEMENT IS A PROCESS My sister goes to her husband’s grave several times a week even though he has been dead for nine months. Does she have a problem? Everyone is different but many professionals and grievers would not consider visiting the grave that often a problem. For her, visiting his grave is a way to connect with her memories. Bereavement is a process and you need tools to work your way through your grief. For some, it takes a long time of interacting with a grave to come to the full realization that a loved one is dead. Some individuals never go to the grave. They believe that their loved one isn’t there, so why would they go there. I’ve learned that grievers handle their feelings differently, some would have no problem visiting the grave several times a week and others never go back. Sometimes people go to cemeteries because their family is not listening to their feelings of grief. When this happens it feels safe to have a talk with our loved ones even though it’s a one sided

conversation. They say that George Burns went to Gracie’s grave every week - it was a place where he could “tell her things”. In the old days, before perpetual care, families would look after the grave. It gave them a reason or acceptable explanation as to why they went to the grave so often. Sadly, after all this time it seems we still need to explain our visits – why is that? Quite simply, some just don’t know how to adjust to life without their loved one. They are more private and don’t like to talk about their feelings to others. They need their visits to the grave to help them with their grief. They find cemeteries to be a safe place to cry. No one thrusts a tissue at them and tells them that everything is going to be okay or that it’s time to move on. If you have a “problem” with your sister’s need to visit the grave, please keep it to yourself. I know that you love your sister and that you are worried, but her grieving is normal. Your concern may sound like criticism and the last thing she needs is to

feel criticized. Nine months is early in her grief journey. Your sister will find her way and slowly start healing, but it has to be when it’s right for her. Meantime, just be there for when she’s ready - offer her love, understanding and a safe place to talk. Please email me your questions: mary@ thesisterhoodofwidows.com.
