ABOUT GRIEF

When you lose someone you love- a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, child- when you lose someone to death, your grief takes a path all its own. Grieving is a mysterious process that has no timetable and each person gets their needs met in different ways. Moods will shift in an instant and the most mundane of tasks may seem impossible. Stress builds relentlessly and many are at a loss at the start of this inevitable process, numb with shock and the unthinkable yet necessary reconciliation of life without their loved one.

This new page was inspired by the loss a dear friend of mine experienced when her father died suddenly. She found the suggestions helpful and encouraged me to share it with others. It is by no means a quick fix nor a method to avoid the pain of grief. It is simply a perspective to consider when support is required.

~Anything and everything you do is OK.
~That means being moody, irritable, downright bitchy is OK
~Being late, forgetful, uninterested, distracted, burning the toast, dropping the plate, breaking the window, is OK
~Wanting to be private and not social is OK, no matter what the occasion, or how often you're invited. You are entitled to get through your loss YOUR WAY.
~It's OK to tell people who want to help that all you need from them is to
sit with you SILENTLY. That that is support enough. There's nothing to fix
here...., please click here for the full page version.

RELATIONSHIP REVELATIONS COUPLES RETREAT OCT. 13-14

Aziza attracts Couples in all stages of marriage- Some in crisis, some happy and wanting to look at specific areas that need improving, some looking to reconcile separation, some just wanting to change unhealthy habits that diminish joy to their partnership.

Couples share their childhoods with simple and poignant illustrations. Unexpected awareness into the common denominator spouses shared as children inspires new generosity to afford more compassion and patience for each other. This awareness takes the edge out of the anger and hurt built over the years and invites unexpected understanding and acceptance. Disclosure clarifies how attitude and actions are actually impacting the other. Dissolve barriers that neither of you want but have been helpless to navigate through up till now.

" I’m doing great. I thank you for all your time and insights last weekend. I’m still amazed at all the light bulb moments that came to me. I feel rejuvenated and I believe this retreat might save our marriage. If we keep positive and work on it anything is possible. I am seriously thinking about another retreat for myself..."

" This was very insightful- especially drawing past events and feelings."

"It does work. I thought I knew myself. I was mistaken. I am an honest person but found I was not honest enough with my spouse on how I felt."

" What stands out is the patterns from our role models reflected in our relationships and marriage."

" I recommend this Couples Retreat for everyone! Everyone needs to better know their spouse on this level. Laila makes it all make more sense and she helps with communication."

The Sept. 20 IAAP Educational Conference was a great success! 200 Administrative Professionals attended from corporations based in the GTA and southern Ontario. Laila Ghattas presented a 90 minute interactive seminar entitled Impeccable Leadership: Relationships That Work.

Impeccable Leadership is a provocative and enlightening presentation that challenges the commonly held default of blame. The seminar looks at the negative and unconstructive fallout from the attitude of blame towards oneself and others at home and at work. Impeccable Leadership outlines a step by step approach away from the destructive habit of blame and leads into a constructive, positive and possible new paradigm shift in relating.

Here are some advantages the audience generated when they applied the principles of Impeccable Leadership:

REDISCOVER YOURSELF IN BALI Retreat

Jan. 29 - Feb. 7, 2008

This is Aziza's most intense, involved and fascinating retreat offering. Bali gives us the perfect tapestry from which to dive deeply into personal awareness, to reveal insight and inspire encouragement towards wholeness. We are supported on this path with extraordinary natural beauty, inventive creativity in use of everyday objects, by culture and religion that are integrated into daily life. We talk, listen, soak in a river, snorkel in the sea, pray in a temple, gaze through the clouds on the side of a volcano. We dine on fresh grilled fish and organically grown vegetables. We are serenaded by evening songs of insects, birds and temple chanting. We move to yoga, pause for meditation, walk along rice paddies, surrender to healing massage. We look deeply into the heart of healing.
