Uh, no, spiffyboy. Once again, try a little reading comprehension.

The first page of the link I provided upthread says "RONALD REAGAN'S BOOKS" and it is under that link that Rudy Giuliani's book Leadership is the only one of 3 books listed that don't deal with Reagan himself or presidential airplanes and ships.

To get to your children's books that you seem so fond of (I can understand that's your reading comprehension level), one most go to the next page and click on Children's books.

Nice try though.

Dear Peach,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your credibility, although weak, was a contributor to Giuliani's campaign. It will be deeply missed....by you.

I thought I'd be helpful and provide you a list of the Phases of Grief so that you can better understand and deal with your loss. The Denial stage can be the hardest one to get through at first, but if you'll go back and review the death of your credibility, right here in this thread, it will be a cathartic experience that will help you move on.


THE PHASES OF GRIEF

From My Son...My Son...A Guide to Healing After Death, Loss, or Suicide
By Iris Bolton

There is no right or wrong way to grieve. All your feelings are normal. It is helpful, however, to know that human grief is a process that often follows a healing pattern.

Shock is the first stage. It is accompanied by disbelief and numbness.

Denial follows quickly, crying "I don't believe it," or "It can't be."

Bargaining is your promise that "I'll be so very good that maybe I can wake up and find that it isn't so. I'll do all the right things if only...."

Guilt is painful and hard to deal with. This is when one says over and over, "If only I had..." or "If only I had not..." This is a normal feeling and ultimately it may be solved by stating, "I'm a human being and I gave the best and worst of me to my friend (child, husband, etc...) and what he or she does with that is his or her responsibility.

Anger is another big factor which seems to be necessary in order to face the reality of life and then to get beyond it. We must all heal in our own ways. Anger is a natural stage through which we must pass. Your anger at your deceased loved one may even make you feel guilty, or it may be because your own life continues whereas your friend's life is over.

Depression is a stage of grief that comes and goes. Knowing this, be prepared to give yourself time to heal. Resignation is a late stage. It comes when finally you accept the truth.

Acceptance and hope! Understand that you will never be the same but your life can go on to find meaning and purpose.

WHAT TO DO

Share your feelings with someone.
Discuss those feelings openly and frankly.
Show interest and support to those who need your help.
Get professional assistance!
SUICIDE IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM
