“We guided our children. We supported them. We were there for them. But once you start going through your list of schools that present a potential opportunity, a young man or a young woman has to be happy with their decision. If they are unhappy, then their whole four years of college are going to be some of the most miserable memories of their lifetime.” IfsMenYearsChildrenWholeSchoolYoungOpportunityMemoriesDecisionFourCollegeOur ChildrenLifetimeListsUnhappyMiserableYoung ManFour YearsYoung Women Author:Craig Biggio
“I have a two-year-old who just turned three, and my four-year-old just turned five. I have the same irrational feelings taking them to pre-school. It's this charged combination of stress and joy and anxiety and excitement. When they're away, you've got a sudden loss of purpose and this ever-present fear about the kid's welfare. The departure of our children from our nest is not an easy thing.” YearsChildrenTwoFeelingsKidsSchoolJoyPurposeThreeEasyLossFiveFourAnxietyStressOur ChildrenCombinationWelfareExcitementTwo YearsFour YearsIrrationalNestsDepartureEasy ThingsTwo Year OldsPre School Author:Vera Farmiga
“Grief is not just a series of events, stages, or timelines. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through grief. But how long do you grieve for a husband of fifty years, a teenager killed in a car accident, a four-year-old child: a year? Five years? Forever? The loss happens in time, in fact in a moment, but its aftermath lasts a lifetime.” YearsChildrenLongMomentsFactsHappensLastsLossGriefForeverFiveFourStageCarEventsHusbandPressureSeriesLifetimeAccidentsEnormousTeenagerGrievingFive YearsFiftyOur SocietyFour YearsGet OverAftermathCar AccidentTimelines Author:Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
