Self-reflection Series: Death of friendship
I thought that we were friends.
You said you’d always care, and that no matter what, you would still be there.

To celebrate the good times to sooth me when I’m sad.
But it seems that something I have said has made you very mad.

So now you do not speak to me you seem not much to care.
Have I hurt your feelings oh so much that you must pretend that I’m not there?

That I no longer exist to you erased right from your mind like chalk dust on a black board.
You used to be so kind.

What happen to that loving friend that I had grown to know?
What have I done to cause you pain enough to let me go?
A poem (for a friend)
A word to help console and mend broken hearts left from shattered

    Do you think that the way we grow up has a lasting effect on us? The things we go through and are surrounded by as children will shape our personality and how we deal with things? The underlying theme of these poems is a very deep and difficult subject to talk about, the breakage of a person and of a friendship. The way we deal with our past make us who we are, but how much can a person handle before they break? Stuart broke, Jackson was broken by Stuarts suicide attempt because he didn't know how to react to it, and these poems purpose an idea that we should handle suicide differently because, a suicide effects not only the person but the people around them, it breaks them.…

    Introduction My focus for my practice based-problem is interventions that reduce complicated bereavement symptoms that could result in major depression and complicated grief for elderly widows coping with spousal loss. For most middle-aged and older individuals, the death of a husband or wife is one of the most distressing life events (Wilcox et al., 2003). As a result, widowhood could lead to economic and health problems such as poverty, alcoholism, and high blood pressure (Wilcox et al., 2003). As a social worker, I want the community, family members, and health professionals of senior citizens to make available resources to help them cope with their loss and grief (Black & Dobbs, 2014).…

    Concerns have been raised in the 21st century about the young adult’s slowing transition into adulthood. Robin Henig discusses these concerns in her article “What is it About 20-Somethings?” by writing on the topic of emerging adulthood, a period before adulthood that sociologists believe may be a new distinct life stage. Henig addresses the idea that young people in America have put off the traditional milestones such as completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying and having a child. More recently, technology and the use of social media have become popular and prevalent among young adults and children, a point Maria Konnikova brings up in her article “The Limits of Friendship.”…
