Growth, - explains the ap-
proach based on profes-
sional guidance outlined by
an expert medical author-
ity.
By knowing what to ex-
pect from grieving, Freese
argues. we can allow our-
selves the greatest potential
for development. When we
diminish the fears we have
about grief, we will be pre-
pared to find in it a means
for growth.
The awareness, for —ex-
ample, that there are three
stages to the grieving reac-
tion can be of tremendous
support.
Initially, the mourner is
numb and physically and
mentally in a state of
shock. He or she 'finds diffi-
culty remembering even
the simplest things such as
phone numbers and names
of friends, and may be
unable to sleep or eat.
Knowing that this is ac-
tually a normal reaction,
the griever and those close
to him or her will be able
to accept these signs and
not fear that they represent
a permanent state or a loss
of mind. Allowing these re-
actions to take their course
will then bring the mourner
to the second stage.

Acute feelings—both tre-
mendous irritability and
restlessness—characterize
the second stage. There is a
loss of interest in the world,
a sense of loneliness. and
panic. During this phase, il-
logical outbursts of anger
and huge family feuds often
transpire. With an aware-
ness that this may occur,
the griever and family can
better understand what _is
happening and be assured
that this phase, too, will
pass.
The final stage, usually
six months to two years
after the loss ; is the begin-
ning of recovery and return
to a fuller life. Setbacks do
happen: often on an anniver-
sary or a birthday the griev-
er will feel as if intense
mourning had returned. But
this is not true, for recov-
ery naturally follows set-
backs in this final stage.
Freese covers - many
areas of the grieving proc-
ess, including the impor-
tance of ritual and religion,
the complex subject of
grieving by and for
dren, sexual problems expe-
rienced by grievers, and
the important role of psy-
chological and religious
counseling. He lists how-
to's for dealing with the
mourner, and organizations
that can guide and support.

HEAVENLY Father, throw
us not away
When we are old—
Friends, children at length
departed;
As does age unfold. Verve
and the heyday finally dim-
med,
What's left? A mist! Am-
bition, striving also long
sunken,
Though we exist ! Al tash-
lihenu, God guard us
At our end. With no one -
to lean on but You.
God our King ! Our eter-
nal Friend!
