an unveiling, or announce
that they're going to name
the baby after their dad or
brother who died," says Mrs.
Schiff. "Everyone has their
own way of accepting."
David M. Techner of Ira
Kaufman Chapel often recom-
mends the Bereavement Sup-
port Group. "This group is
successful," says Techner,
"because they have that par-
ticular sensitivity that comes
from experiencing the death
of a loved one themselves. You
simply can't teach that sen-
sitivity in the classroom."
Facilitators agree that be-
ing part of the Bereavement
Support Group is an impor-
tant part of their lives.
"It means a great deal to
me to help other people in
that period of their life which
is so stressful and painful,"
comments Barbara Begun.
"It also means that the peo-
ple in my life didn't die in
vain because I've learned
something from each of their
deaths and helped others
with what I've learned."
It's true that the passage of
time helps ease the pain of
grief. But time alone isn't
enough for most of us. Left
alone, with no one to talk to,
or no one willing to listen, a
bereaved person feels ex-
tremely isolated. We need to
talk about our loss. C
