At her funeral, tons of flowers arrived, every seat filled. She had so many friends and people in her life who cared for her. Our remaining question is "Why?" There was not a single warning sign."
The next step is to answer the questions that remain. With the knowledge gained from such statements as the one from the family above the activities to be conducted during the study can begin. First and foremost, the study will begin by investigating the lives of five families in Flint, Michigan, and see how these particular individuals were affected by the events that had happened. In order to do this, the researcher must formulate at least ten questions to be tailored to a family's experience, and be very careful as to how one proceeds. Furthermore, it is important to conduct very detailed interviews and ensure that each family is treated very delicately, if this is needed.
Another activity to be conducted is studying the community of the victim's family. The community can tell one so much about the individuals, perhaps even more than the family can. Therefore, it must be at the forefront that one examines the community and the friends, workplaces and other such things. The timetable for these endeavors must range from a few months to a year, depending on whether five families will be...
First, one must think about how information will be safeguarded, for again, this is of utmost importance. One way to safeguard this would be to secure one's computer and one's documents. Second, reporting the results must be done in a very organized fashion, and again, each family must be given the attention that it deserves in the study, and the researcher must examine each family and its bereavement properly. The researcher will gain many things from the study, including seeing how these families cope and how they understand the question of "why."
Conclusions
There are many conclusions to be drawn from such studies. Much of the research will focus on individuals, so the researcher must be very attentive as to how this is handled. However, it is expected that there will be much understanding gained from such research, and perhaps many families can be helped deal with this issue in the future.

Relationship Challenges -- Family Communication Issues The high divorce rate in the United States (and elsewhere in Western nations) is one indication as to the fact that good communication -- or any communication at all -- is absent from relationships. Certainly there are always challenges to any relationship, but couples should be going into marriage and long-term relationships with the understanding that they will have challenges and without training or background
Teen Suicide Suicide among teenagers is one of the great tragedies of our world today. It affects families, schools, and the community (Bostik and Everall, 2007). Interestingly, many teenagers who go through suicidal feelings overcome them, if not with ease, then at last in time. This could be an important factor in devising prevention and intervention strategies, especially for high-risk cases where the teens in question may not overcome their feelings.

Physician Assisted Suicide in Patients With Unbearable Suffering or the Terminally Ill One of the most hotly debated issues today is physician-assisted suicide. Recently, California became the fifth state to legalize physician-assisted suicide, and there is an increasing likelihood that other states will follow suit in the foreseeable future. The purpose of this study is to determine if the factors chosen have any bearing on those who choose to end their
