WORKING

THROUGH GRIEF

Survivors faced with the emotional stress of grief might want to help themselves by finding a good listener who has experienced a similar loss. Someone outside of the immediate family is a good choice. Grieving individuals want someone who will let them express themselves, not someone who will try to reason them out of their feelings. Although family members may be supportive, they may be too burdened by the very same loss to act in a supportive role. For example, if your spouse were to die and you wanted to share with your adult children, remember that they are grieving the loss of a parent. In addition, it is often painful for an adult child to see a parent grieving.

Often the camaraderies of others makes us feel sane and grounded during loss because others who grieve often suffer exactly as we do. The relief of recognition can ease the sharpness of our pain. At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton we are happy to provide information about resources that might be available for you, such as support groups. Call us at 3473431 to set up an appointment. Bright View Cemetery is just outside Warrenton. "The focus in facilitating mourning needs to he on how to change connections, to hold the relationships in a new perspective rather

than on how to separate. " - Phyliss Silverman & Dennis Klass. CONTINUING BONDS
