In the crime scene cleanup industry (in Arizona) we are required by Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to posses aBiohazardous Medical Waste Transportation License. Although there are many rules in this industry there is very little oversight and dozens of company’s operate without this license. What does that mean for you? Illegal Dumping! Proper disposal facilities will not accept waste from someone who does not posses the proper license and therefor the company is forced to illegally dump. Whether it be in a landfill or the desert this waste can make its way into ground water. Hepatitis can live dormant for a year and be activated by water. The worst case scenario could be a mass outbreak of hepatitis. What are your thoughts?

Helping Others Cope With Death

There are few things that can match the pain one feels when following a death in the family or friend. Death is a constant reminder of the value of life, particularly when it involves death in the family of the mourner. I came across these tips for helping a loved one cope with death. Hope they help

Let them know they can talk. Encouraging a loved one to talk about their feelings of loss and share memories of the deceased can help the healing process.
Do not minimize their loss. It offers no consolation to a person experiencing grief to hear “It was for the best” or “You will get over it in time.” Instead, offering one’s sincere condolences and just listening to the individual express their grief are better ways of showing compassion and understanding.
Offer practical help. Assisting a grieving loved one with their daily chores, such as by babysitting, cooking or helping make funeral arrangements can be extremely helpful.
Be patient with them. It is important to remember that everyone experiences loss in their own way. Some people may take a long time coming to terms with the death of a loved one. In such cases, one can show support by being available whenever needed.
Encourage them to seek physical and/or mental health treatment when necessary. This is extremely important because individuals experiencing grief may be so overcome with their emotions that they may not realize they need professional help.
