DENVER, Sept. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
According to the Family Caregiver Alliance: "Grief is a natural process, an intense fundamental emotion, a universal experience which makes us human."
"I lost a very close friend of the family on the 88th floor of the second tower on Sept. 11th, 2001. My brothers and cousins were caught in the middle of it all and gratefully survived," says stress relief expert Lauren E. Miller, who recently launched Stress Solutions University, an online stress relief video coaching site.
"When trauma of any kind enters into your life, your body goes into a freeze. Your breathing becomes shallow, your left brain stops communicating with the right brain and you experience a 'deer in the headlights' response to life. You feel disconnected and unsafe. In the midst of this experience, you often encounter waves of overwhelming emotion that paralyze you in your ability to cope with everyday activities. You find yourself caught in the moment of when the traumatic experience took place. You actually take a holograph picture of the scene of trauma and it becomes frozen within you. You continually replay it over and over. As time moves on, you remain stuck in that 'holographic image' so much so that if a trauma occurs in childhood when it is triggered by current events, situations and people, it is as if it just happened. These images or 'holographs' exist out of time; they are present to you now even if many years have passed," says Miller, a stage three breast cancer survivor.
