"i guess i am ripe to believe again"

Sounds like you are in denial. America has been in a declining wage spiral for 50 years. It now takes two people working more than two jobs to support a family that was supported by one person in the 50's.

Most Americans and especially liberals are in a total state of denial which is a defense mechanism which keeps them from facing the shock of the disintegration of the American Middle Class and the Colonization of America.

Obama the Liberal will Self-Righteously drive the nail of Amnesty and Open Borders into YOur American Coffin made in China.

Grief is a multi-faceted response to loss. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions. Common to human experience is the death of a loved one, whether it be a friend, family, or other close companion.

While the terms are often used interchangeably, bereavement often refers to the state of loss, and grief to the reaction to loss. Losses can range from loss of employment, pets, status, a sense of safety, order, or possessions, to the loss of loved ones.

Some researchers such as Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and others have posited sequential stages including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, which are commonly referred to as the "grief cycle". As research progressed over the past 40 years, many who worked with the bereaved found stage models too simplistic and instead began to look at processes, dynamics, and experiences common to all. John Bowlby, a noted psychiatrist, outlined the ebb and flow of processes such as Shock and Numbness, Yearning and Searching, Disorganization and Despair, and Reorganization. Bowlby and Parkes both note psychophysiologic components of grief as well. Included in these processes are:

[edit] Shock and denial (disbelief)

Feelings of unreality, depersonalization, withdrawal, and an anesthetizing of affect. The person feels unable to come to terms with what just occurred.

[edit] Volatile reactions

"Whenever one's identity and social order face the possibility of destruction, there is a natural tendency to feel angry, frustrated, helpless, and/or hurt. The volatile reactions of terror, hatred, resentment, and jealousy are often experienced as emotional manifestations of these feelings." (see the article entitled The Grieving Process by Michael R. Leming and George E. Dickinson)

[edit] Disorganization and despair

These are the processes commonly associated with bereavement: the mourning and severe pain of being away from the loved person or situation.

[edit] Reorganization

Reorganization is the assimilation of the loss of something or someone and redefining of life and meaning without the person that has been lost.
