Web Resources for Grief :: essays research papers

Websites on Issues Relating To Death & DyingThe web can be as useful or meaningless as you want it to be. I have found it to be a wealth of resources when it comes to needing cultivation on anything. I guess part of that depends on whether or non a person can decipher between sites that are credible, and sites that are not. I have compiled ten sites that I have either known close through my personal experience as an active member in the death care industry, or through using simple inquisition engine words to obtain sites that would pique my interest. In each web site description, I will mention what words I used in the search engine, if needed.I really didnt know what to use for search words other than the very common words death, dying, and bereavement. I finally got to where I would go to websites that I didnt particularly care for, but had found links to the ones I did like and find interesting and useful. I finally got a gnomish bit more creative while browsing through the sites, giving me different ideas on different key words to use to give me alteration in my search. I used AOL (who has keywords) and Google.http//www.funeralnet.com/ This is a web site I have known about through general knowledge because of my experience in funeral service. It is very informative and educative in the fields of death. It was last updated in 2002.http//www.adec.org/ADEC, The association for Death Education and Counseling is a site that has information for the consumer to information to the professional. They offer the Certificate in Thanatology, for grief counselors. I found this site as a link at funeralnet.com, under Grief Resources link.http//www.ksfda.orgThe Kansas Funeral Directors and Embalmers tie beam is a website familiar to me. It has several general information areas for the professional as well as the general public.http//www.accesskansas.org/ksbma The Kansas State Board of Mortuary Arts. Another website I know very well. This site has all the state law s that govern funeral directors, embalmers, care and disposal of the deceased, and any other K.S.A. that might be applicable to this subject. There is to a fault licensing information on every individual and every funeral home in the state. There is also a section for the general public, a Q and A of sorts as well.http//www.soros.org/death/ This is the Project on Death in America website.
