  The Depression Zone

  Grief, Coping

  Dear Maddy,
  
  QUESTION: What happens when grief becomes unbearable and overwhelming? How do you survive loss when loss itself becomes your own demise?
  
  Signed, The Depression Zone
  
  Dear Depression Zone,
  
  ANSWER: Sometimes we forget what gives us joy. It takes faith to remember that depression is like the ocean. Eventually the tide recedes and the shore returns... But sometimes, while we wait, it may just help to indulge ourselves in a little shopping and a night of comedy.

  Frozen at Death's Door

  Grief, Coping

  Dear Maddy,
  
  QUESTION: My father is dying. Neither he nor I know what to say. Imminent grief hangs like a sharp barrier reef between us. How do I tear it down? What on earth do I do?

  Dear Frozen at Death's Door,
  
  ANSWER: Fear of the unknown creates the barrier between you and your dad. Become familiar with the unfamiliar and the fear will disappear. Talk to him with love on every word. Keep him comfortable. Tell him you love him. Again and again. Indulge to-gether in simple pleasures like watching a Star Trek movie marathon to remind yourselves that the next frontier is still life, just not life as we know it.
  
  To All Forms of Life, Maddy
