About Me
I've been a secretary all my life, and have worked all my life. My work has been in the legal field since 1987. In 1990, I graduated from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio with a B.A. in "International Relations." It was just prior to online classes and through their Adult Degree Program, I worked a full-time job while going to classes - for four years. I'm married, and my husband is a stroke survivor of 12 years. I was stepmom to his children, and they've all grown and left the nest. I'm also "Momcat" to our cats. Since college graduation, I've written two published books on teen grief and emotional loss called "Mama's In Heaven -- But You Can Manage" and "Teen Grief's Delayed Reactions -- Little Gracie's Experience." My true ambition is to start a public speaking, web book sales business. I'm about $10,000 short, so am trying to get a good job to finance it. In a nutshell, what my books say is: Teens react differently to grief and emotional loss much differently and later than adults. This time/reaction difference can make teens appear to be insensitive, unfeeling and uncaring to the adults around them. They don't mean to be so, it's just that they feel so differently. The one reaction that does immediately hit is the desire to fix the situation, even though anyone else would know that it's not possible. The desire is stronger than common sense, because it stems from the "wishful thinking" of childhood. This leads people to assume that "Kids bounce back." Yes, it does look that way, but the emotional shock and painful emotions are stored and not released until a few years after the teen becomes an adult. The changes of adolescence puts those emotional reactions on hold until some unknown time in the future. Because their emotional pain and turmoil happen so far in the future, family emotional and financial resources (medical insurance for counseling, etc.) are far behind and not available. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks!
