Are you angry and bitter every time you think of someone who has wronged you? If so, you're human but also probably living a more stressful and unhealthy life than you need to be.

Many people have lost a parent, but very few people have had to deal with the pain of losing a child. It can be a really difficult thing to go through if you're a parent, and sometimes, the pain that fathers deal with during it is left behind.

Relocating to another city and moving away from your family is not only stressful, but it also needs a lot of courage to adjust to the new environment. A person moving to another city feels a physical as well as emotional toll. Not only this, the person also has to help his/her family to adjust with the idea of moving to a new location.
