Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Being there for one another is the best way to cope with death

By Lisa Goudy

Death is a curious paradox for most people. We all experience death at some point. While many people typically fear death, it’s also something we’re fascinated with because it’s the unknown. With the Saskatchewan Hospice Palliative Care conference taking place since Wednesday, the topic has certainly been on my mind.

But I don’t think we have to be health care professionals or work in a profession that deals with death to be there for someone in mourning, including ourselves. From the point of view of someone who isn’t an expert by any means on the subject, I think our experiences are our best guide to how to cope with loss.
