I was recently referenced in an article on pet loss at www.sheknows.com.
One important aspect of grieving the loss of a pet, that often goes overlooked, is holding a memorial for your beloved deceased pet. Pet memorials can help to bring closure to a grief that is largely unrecognized in broader society.
You can read the article here.

Research suggests that 21 % of men and 11% of women will be sexually unfaithful in their lifetime. In fact, these percentages are quickly rising and the gender gap is getting smaller.
As mentioned in a previous post, social media sites such as Facebook are quickly becoming a catalyst for betrayal.
One factor that contributes to infidelity is opportunity. Having an opportunity to cheat with someone who is emotionally or sexually available, is a major predictor of cheating.
Technology, including texting and social media, substantially increase a person’s opportunity to cheat. Texting and emails allow for covert, private communication, while social media sites allow a person to reach out to an old flame instantaneously.
This topic is explored in a 4 minute clip on NPR. You can listen to the brief segment here.
Although there are a plethora of factors that contribute to cheating, opportunity is a poignant one to be considered.
