Welcome to the newsletter of Boquete Health and Hospice Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. The Vision and Mission Statements for Boquete Health and Hospice The vision statement for BHHF is: Supporting a Healthy Community Our mission is to inform and promote community health; and, to support people with needs by providing information, equipment, and services. As part of the mission to support a healthy community BHHF provides community information programs, health related articles in our newsletter and in the media and a presence at community functions like the Tuesday Market and Boquete Jazz and Blues Fest. Perspectives on Grief In speaking with members of our community whose spouses have died, it is clear that the different perspectives on grieving are very personal. Everyone experiences grief differently. Were you the main caregiver for a long time for a disabled or dying spouse? Did your spouse die sooner than expected in your life together? Did your spouse die suddenly and unexpectedly? In a split second everything in life changes. These different scenarios, and people’s various reactions to the death of a loved one, have to do with the circumstance of the death, the quality of the relationship, as well as with the personality of the one left behind. As described by Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, the five stages of grief, shock/denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the loss. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. However, emotions are malleable, they are not fixed, and they do not usually follow steps 1 to 5 in order. Reactions can show up simultaneously. For example anger because of all the things that you now have to take care of, feeling sorry for yourself, not knowing, now, what to do with yourself as your identity has shifted, and feeling guilty for a sense of relief when the passing is a blessing for both the deceased and the caregiver. Sometimes grieving is unconventional and does not fit into the 5 stages framework at all, such as the feeling of being set free. During the grieving process we may experience myriad emotions, such as confusion, sadness, fear, guilt or hopelessness. These feelings will vary in intensity. Emotional ups and downs are a normal part of any grieving process. The paradox may be that in order to get past the difficult feelings, you must experience them. Grief has its own time schedule and will heal you if you allow it to. It is important to be kind to yourself, especially in the early stages. Get a massage, accept invitations from friends, embrace your pets. Pets can provide great comfort and can help the overwhelming need for touch or hugs. They even give you somebody to talk to in the middle of the night. Many people feel isolated and alone after the death of a spouse. After a short time has passed, “others” seem to forget that you are still in unknown territory, or they might not know how to be with you in this new land. It’s important to realize there is help out there, you are not alone, but it’s not always an easy thing to acknowledge or ask for. You don’t have to face this alone. Certain areas of one’s life take longer to heal than others. When a painful loss first occurs it is impossible to imagine that anything good could come from it. There is a richness to grief that is seldom acknowledged. There is the possibility to learn things about yourself you would not have discovered any other way. You may find strength and resilience you didn’t know you had. Your capacity for compassion and empathy may deepen. Over time the memories of good times will exceed the painful ones, and you may be able to appreciate good times more than ever before. Written by Babbie Earle, Judy Sacco, and Carol Cardinale-Santana Continuing Education Is Here! We have a new focus for our monthly general meetings.

10:30 in the BCP Theater Tuesday, March 27 -- Did you miss Paul Myers' March 3 lecture "Baru’s Eruptions and Aftermath - A Geologist’s Observations" ? Here is a second chance. Dr Myers will repeat this talk on Tuesday, March 27 at 10:30 a.m. in BCP Theater. Volcan Baru, as a “dormant" volcano, looms ominously on our western horizon. Will it erupt again? Dr. Paul Myers retired geology professor (University of Wisconsin, 1968-1997), with considerable volcano experience will share his ”observations” of Baru and what they may reveal of its violent past, even what they might mean for the future. Why doesn’t Baru “look like” a typical volcano? Why no lava flows? What’s the origin of all the steep-walled terraces and deep canyons? Why all the boulders? How will an eruption affect Boquete? No matter how good you are - in the Boquete area, no one is an “expert”. More questions than answers. FREE ADMISSION Tuesday, April 3 – ACODECO (The Authority for Consumer Protection and Defense of Competition). Licda. Margarita Rodríguez from the David office of ACODECO will speak about the history and activities of this governmental agency that is established to monitor prices and protect the rights of consumers in Panama. http://autoridaddelconsumidor.gob.pa Tuesday, April 10 -- Javier Madge and Magaly Bustamante are an amazing local couple.

This talk will present some reflections on Chinese history and current trends in Chinese culture and briefly touch on geo-politics as it impacts the western world in general and the future of Panama in particular.

Tuesday, May 22 – Boquete Health and Hospice presents “Being Prepared Part I”. Tuesday, May 29 – Boquete Health and Hospice presents “Being Prepared Part II”. Tuesday, June 12 – Carla Black, Panama’s expert on heliconias, water lilies, and other native plants. Tuesday, June 19 – Glenn Davis, author, lecturer, college professor, historian, and Boquete resident. He is the author of 4 books available on Amazon.com, three other books published in Japanese by leading Japanese publishers and hundreds of articles on Japan and Japan-American relations. One book is titled "How We Lived in Wellborn before Television" about the small town in Texas where he grew up in the 1950’s. He took note that Wellborn residents were very close-knit and friendly. People visited each other, sat out on their front porches and didn't lock their doors. But that was before TV arrived and changed everything about the small village. People did not visit as much and socialization virtually stopped inside homes as everyone was glued to their new boob tubes. Glenn will present a thoughtful comparison of today's cell phone and computer technology with the TV invasion of the past. Are cell phones the new TV? You can now see people sitting at home with their cell phones glued to their hands sending messages to each other in the same room, even on the same sofa. Real communities are being replaced by virtual ones. Where is all this tapping and beeping leading societies? Depressing or enlightening, the audience can choose.

April Films: To be announced next week ---------------------------------- This week's movie: Sunday, March 25 @ 1:00pm - Coco (USA - 2017) 1 hour, 45 minutes - Rated "PG" Ratings: 8.5 - IMDB, 97% - Rotten Tomatoes, 4/4 - Roger Ebert Coco won 2 Academy Awards as well as 86 wins & 28 nominations from other organizations. From RogerEbert.com: "Coco" is the sprightly story of a young boy who wants to be a musician and somehow finds himself communing with talking skeletons in the land of the dead. Directed by Lee Unkrich ("Toy Story 3") and veteran Pixar animator Adrian Molina, and drawing heavily on Mexican folklore and traditional designs, it has catchy music, a complex but comprehensible plot, and bits of domestic comedy and media satire. Most of the time the movie is a knockabout slapstick comedy with a "Back to the Future" feeling, staging grand action sequences and feeding audiences new plot information every few minutes, but of course, being a Pixar film, "Coco" is also building toward emotionally overwhelming moments, so stealthily that you may be surprised to find yourself wiping away a tear even though the studio has been using the sneak-attack playbook for decades. The film's hero, twelve-year old Miguel Riviera (voice by Anthony Gonzalez), lives in the small town of Santa Cecilia. He’s a goodhearted child who loves to play guitar and idolizes the greatest popular singer-songwriter of the 1920s and '30s, Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt), who was killed when a huge church bell fell on his head. But Miguel has to busk in secret because his family has banned its members from performing music ever since Miguel's great-great-grandfather left, abandoning his loved ones to selfishly pursue his dreams of stardom.
