By Jenni Glenn
Weekend, Etc. Editor
First year student Sarah Martin was
learning about bereavement in one of her
nursing school classes, but studying
remained far from her mind that
Saturday night. She had traveled to
Colorado for her first karate convention
with her coworkers from Keith Hafner s
Karate School. Surrounded by friends at.
a banquet dinner, she was thoroughly
enjoying herself.
That was when her colleagues called
her out of the room.
"They told me I had to call home, that
there was a family emergency," Sarah
recalled. "I thought there was someone
in the hospital with a broken arm."
Family ties
The oldest of six children, Martin
shared a room in her parents' house with
her two sisters, Amanda and Molly. Born
within a three year span and enrolled in
consecutive grades in school, the girls
shared so much that their parents dubbed
them "SAM"- an acronym combining
the first letter of each of their names.
The family resided in Chelsea, a small
town located a few miles west of Ann
Arbor. Here the Martins attended St.
Mary's Catholic Church and took karate
classes together. Sarah, Amanda and
Molly all had achieved the rank of black
belt along with their mother, younger sis-

ter Katy and younger brother David. The
sisters spent countless hours laughing
and discussing friends, sports and school
together over the years. Their conversa-
tions continued by phone once Sarah
began attending the University.
But Sarah was involved in a different
type of phone conversation in Colorado
that Saturday night, Nov. 11, 2000.
Across the lines, she heard the news that
17-year-old Amanda had been killed
instantly in a car accident on the way
home from a football game earlier in the
day. Amanda's dreams of attending Hope
College to study business and of later
becoming a mother would never come
true.
Unexpected loss
Like Amanda's death, the loss of a
youth frightens family and friends
because it is unanticipated. The deaths of
students Candy Wei, Shannon Mayes
and Byung Soo Kim during the past aca-
demic year impacted the campus in a
similar manner. These losses can be par-
ticularly difficult for students who have
never experienced the death of a close
friend or relative before. And in
instances of sudden losses, people may
experience shock and trauma in a way
that isn't associated with the death of
someone elderly due to long-term illness
or other natural causes.
"If you have a friend who has just had
a death in their family, the first thing to

chink about is whether the death was
anticipated or unexpected," School of
Social Work professor Sallie Foley said.
"Either way it hurts, but if it was unex-
pected, the person may not react with a
normal grief reaction."
As a result, those responding to unan-
ticipated losses can experience feelings
ranging from anger to numbness and
shock.
"I think it's a way for the body to han-
dle the magnitude of what's going on,"
said Jim Etzkorn, a counseling psychol-
ogist at the University's Counseling and
Psychological Services. "It's just too big
to handle."
Support system
In the aftermath of learning about her
sister's death, Sarah said she didn't expe-
rience denial but simply couldn't absorb
what had occurred. Dazed, she found
herself on a bereavement flight home
from Colorado. A colleague accompa-
nied her on the trip, but she felt utterly
alone without her family.
"I was with people vWho loved me, but
not people who loved (Amanda) in the
same way I did," she said.
She felt completely relieved to see her
family upon pulling into the driveway of
her parents' house. Friends had flown in
from as far away as Connecticut and
Washington, and her relatives had driven
up from Indiana.
"As soon as I got out of the car, there
were people to hug and be with," Sarah
said. "We weren't alone for a week. I
couldn't handle being alone."
According to interim director of the
University's Counseling and
Psychological Services Todd Sevig,
death can be particularly difficult for stu-
dents who are geographically separated
from family the way Martin was when
she first received the news. Without the
direct connection to a personal support
network of friends and family, grieving
is a much more difficult process.
Those experiencing grief often fear
isolation the way Sarah initially did fol-
lowing her sister's death. In difficult
periods like this, friends should try to be
available during the individual's grieving
process and encourage the person to talk
about it.
"The main thing is that people need
someone to listen and be with them,"
said Robert Hatcher, the director of the
University's Psychological Clinic. "In
terms of actually doing things beyond
