Dear Friends,
To celebrate the International Women Day for tomorrow ( 08 March 2011), I wish to share you a photo that I captured by chance on the street in Phnom Penh this morning. This is the picture of a little girl practiced herself the Buddhism ideology by offering gift to a monk walked a cross her house in Phnom Penh. Very good performance and should be taken as a role model for young Cambodia generation !!!
Even though Cambodia religion is Buddhist and more than 95% of Cambodian population respect to Buddha but from day to day especially in the cities and towns all over Cambodia I often see many foreign religious missionary spread their ideology and try to convert especially the young generation, young children to follow their religious rule through providing English training, offering help by different means or provide any support to the family. If these same action happen again and again and still persist without any restriction or measures, I am pretty sure that in the next 30 or 50 years later the percentage of Cambodia people respect Buddhist will decrease.
For instance as you can observe now from day to day not many young children go to the pagoda by their own will. To avoid this thing happen in the future parents should train and show to their children how they adhere and respect to Buddhism in the family. Community and school should advocate and integrate more on the Buddhism principle to its student and community population especially during any event in community and school. The government should pay more attention to those foreign religious missionary to see what they do to Cambodian people. If their action are not appropriate government can action to stop them.
We all should follow to this little girl. Happy International Women Day !!!
Coping with traumatic events and loss:
The events that happened recently at the end of the Bonn Om Touk in Phnom Penh earlier this week resulted in approximately 375 people losing their lives, while over 700 were injured. It is the most significant tragedy to affect Phnom Penh for many years. Whether or not you and your family were directly affected you may know others that are and you will have almost certain read about it or seen the events on the TV.
A traumatic event can turn your world upside down. People who witnessed or were involved in the event may feel dazed or even numb. They may also feel sad, helpless, or anxious. In spite of the tragedy, some people just feel happy to be alive. It is not unusual to have bad memories or dreams. You may avoid places or people that remind you of the disaster. Many people affected have trouble sleeping, eating, or paying attention. Often people have short tempers and get angry easily. These are all normal reactions to stress. It will take time before things start to feel better.
Don’t be afraid to tell someone about how you are feeling or ask for help. Some people have strong feelings right away. Others may not notice a change until much later, after the crisis is over. Stress can change how people act with your friends and family. It will take time for people to feel better and for life to return to normal. These steps may help you feel better.
For those people affected:
A traumatic event disrupts your life. There is no simple fix to make things better right away. But there are actions that can help you or your family heal.
Try to:
• Follow a normal routine as much as possible.
• Eat healthy meals. Be careful not to skip meals or to overeat.
• Exercise and stay active.
• Help others that may have been affected. Stay busy.
• Accept help from family, friends or co-workers. It may help to talk about your feelings those you feel comfortable with.
• Limit your time around the sights and sounds of what happened. Don’t dwell on TV, radio, or newspaper reports on the tragedy. Sometimes the stress can be too much to handle alone.
Ask for help if you:
• Are not able to take care of yourself or your children.
• Are not able to do your job.
• Use alcohol or drugs to get away from your problems.
• Feel sad or depressed for more than two weeks
• Think about suicide.
If you have lost a loved one:
Grief is our response to loss, particularly the death of a loved one. Grief can affect our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and beliefs, and our relationships with others. Many people experience feelings of sadness and anxiety. The experience of grief can sometimes feel wave-like. A person may feel that their grief is behind them, but then be surprised when their grief suddenly comes back.
The grieving process after a death or major injury within the family takes time to move through. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Initial there is shock that this has happened ‘I can’t believe this has happened’
Then denial that it is happen ‘this isn’t happening – everything ok’
Then anger ‘Why did this have to happen to them?’ ‘How can they [the illness or injury] take my loved one away?’
Then there may be a period of bargaining ‘Just give me more time with them, one more chance’.
Towards the end there is a period of depression. This may take a while to get through ‘How can I go on?’ ‘Our family will never be the same’
Finally there is acceptance of the loss ‘I really miss them, but I have good memories’ ‘I understand this has happened, its difficult but I’ll be OK’
You may continue to feel intermittent feelings of grief over a period of years.
