Collaborative Post¦ Maintaining or increasing the value of your property is vital. When you buy a home, you imagine that the value will just continuously increase the longer you own your home. However, there this is not always the case. Your property can fall into negative equity. This is where it is worth lower than its original value. This means that when you sell your home, you end up losing money in the process. This can be hugely problematic when it comes to moving on to a new home or even releasing the equity in your home when you retire.

Reassuring The Children After A Car Accident
Collaborative Post¦ Every single parent out there does their best for their kids. We put them first in everything, making sure that their health and wellbeing is considered beyond everything and everyone else. The problem is that there are times in life that we cannot protect them – much as we would want to. Children are resilient creatures, but they are also reactive to their circumstances.

Does America do enough for its veterans?
Collaborative Post¦ The US military every year recruits around 175,000 young American citizens. The proposed pitch in recruitment is the promise to take care of all those that choose to serve their country, but the question is, is this promise being fulfilled? And to what extent are veterans suffering currently in the US? The humungous long term effect that war has on veterans is absolutely monumental and almost impossible to put into words.

Besides the immensely difficult time that veterans have readjusting to normal life after coming home, some even suffer veterans’ elder abuse.
Things to avoid saying to a miscarriage sufferer

As such, along with some blogging friends, I’ve put together some of the things people have said to us after a miscarriage that haven’t been helpful.
