Dealing with grief is the ultimate one size doesn’t fit all situation. Every person has to find their own path. But sometimes, while finding that path, you also have to take your children with you...and they may need a completely different road to get where they’re going. On this week’s Health Show, we’ll talk to a author and grief counselor about coming to terms with grief at any age. Then we’ll hear about how one country’s drastic reaction to the Swine Flu is causing a host of problems for the health of their people...and their economy.

As tough as this can be for us to understand...imagine the toll it takes on our children. Maybe you don’t have to imagine that...just remember it. Robert Zucker is a grief counselor in Northampton, Massachusetts and is the author of “The Journey Through Grief And Loss - Helping Yourself and Your Child When Grief Is Shared”.

Pigs Out Of Egypt
In a drastic and by most accounts foolish measure to combat swine flu, the Egyptian government had thousands of pigs slaughtered. Today, Egypt has 107 cases of swine flu and no pigs.

The loss of the pigs has endangered their livelihood, and made disposing of the city's organic trash difficult. Radio Netherlands’ Ursula Lindsay reports.
