Not to be insensitive, but now there is a totally new meaning to the expression: "Good Grief!"<\/span><\/p>\n

Once meant to express surprise, these days it applies to dealing with "grief" in a "good" way…such as going on a cruise.<\/p>\n

But not just any cruise.<\/p>\n

The noted grief therapist Edy Nathan<\/a> is launching theme (if you will) cruises to help people cope with the loss of…a person, a pet or the pain of everything from financial disasters to heath issues. The cruises will be five days' long on the Paradise<\/a>, which belongs to Carnival, which is known more for partying than pain management.<\/p>\n

However, one news release points out that the Paradise is an "intimate and stately 10-year-old ship…ideal for the concept, as it is considered to have a 'low-key' atmosphere and the décor is not flashy as other Carnival<\/a> ships."<\/p>\n

The first such cruise leaves Tampa<\/a> on November 7 and it's called the Turning Grief into Grace Cruise.<\/i><\/p>\n

Good grief!<\/p>\n
