Grief Support Groups -Why or Why Not?

Author: Marla J. Noel

• Friday, January 22nd, 2010

by Marla J. Noel

“I didn’t want to go to a grief support group,” a young lady who lost her husband in a car accident admits to the group.
“You know, I didn’t want to go either,” this time from a dignified woman in her sixties, who had lost her husband several years ago.
The rest of the group is quiet, yet they are all nodding their heads, as if in agreement. All of the group seems glad to be part of the group. They all share, and they all get an affirmation of their feelings.

I am confused by the fear or avoidance of a grief support group, however. I hear these types of comments so frequently. Why would you not ask for help? Most groups are either free or some nominal dollar amount. So what is the reason? I started to think about all of the reasons I have heard from people to avoid this type of help;
I didn’t want other people to see me cry.
I did not want to be reminded of my feelings, because it hurt too much.
I thought I should be able to figure this out on my own.
My family will help me to get through this.
I will get over this eventually
There are probably many other reasons for not going to a grief support group. However, I look at these reasons and my heart goes out to all of the people not getting help for their grief. There is no cure, no magic solution or any words that will make the pain stop. However, there are people out there who will listen to your story, share their story, and help you through a difficult time with their support and caring. So, I will give my arguments to all of those reasons I listed for why you would not go to a grief support group.

1) It is okay for people to see you cry. They will probably be crying also. Sometimes, there is nothing better than to have a good cry with someone else who understands.
2) Suppressing your feelings can be very harmful to your health, and can keep you from going through the grief process, which is a natural process for all of us. Acknowledging your feelings, and expressing them can be helpful.
3) I thought I should be able to figure this out on my own. If we broke our leg, we would go to a doctor. Why shouldn’t we seek help when our heart is broken?
4) My family will help me to get through this. Sometimes your family is trying to get through their own grief, and can’t help you. It is not their fault. Grief is a difficult emotion, and can affect us in many different ways.
5) I will get over this eventually. Sometimes we never do, for many reasons. While I have been at Fairhaven, I have received many unusual calls. I will never forget a call from a young lady who’s mother died seven years before this phone call. She wanted to be sure that there was a marker on her mother’s grave. She had been unable to visit the cemetery for all of those years. I wanted to help her with her grief, however, she did not seem to be reaching out to help herself.

So many people minimize the impact that grief can have on our lives. It is a very powerful emotion. The closer you were to the person you’ve lost, the greater the impact. There are usually so many wonderful people who can help you. Reach out, and grab a hand. Go to a grief support group. There are so many to pick from. If one is wrong for you, try another. You may meet some nice people, as well. Ask for help. You will be glad you did.

Please think about this list, even if you are healthy and young, and spend some time putting together your Green Box. You can update this box every few years. This is written for the business owner in mind. You can adjust to your own circumstances:

The Green Box with 25 envelopes. Here are the labels on the envelopes:

Letter to spouse
Letter to each child
Letter to the employees
Letter to my mother/father
List of most important 5 employeesco-workers

My Best Friend

Author: Marla J. Noel

• Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

by Ian Crockett
Following graduation from college, rather than take a cushy advertising job in Downtown LA, I decided I would run away and join the circus. In the early 80’s there was a traveling circus headquartered in Southern California that featured several hundred performers, over 100 animals and a tent larger than a football field that would accommodate 5,000 people per performance.
When I first interviewed for the position of marketing director, which was a fancy name for Promoter or Advance Man, they indicated it would be highly unusual to hire someone married due to the ten and half months of travel required. My reply was you haven’t met my wife, so for the next three years we traveled around the United States in a black cargo van that had nice carpeting and paneling, but only two seats. We would rent furnished apartments or stay in motels with kitchenettes and lived in 35 different cities for one month at a time. Many friends and plenty of strangers said we were crazy and that one of us would put the other in a pine box. Instead it created a bond and a unique friendship that many couples never achieve.
Following that three year adventure, I landed a job in the world of advertising. The company, which I ended up purchasing ten years later, had clients nationwide. In my efforts to service them and build the agency’s clientele and reputation, I have logged over six million frequent flyer miles with over three million on American Airlines alone. For a couple that was joined at the hip for three years, being separated was excruciatingly painful. The same friends, but different strangers said it would ruin the marriage and tear apart that special bond they had seen with the two of us. Instead it brought us even closer together and made us cherish every second we spent together.
Three years ago, she became an ordained minister. During the reception an old friend gave her a congratulatory hug and pain shot through her body that originated from her stomach. After visiting the doctor, it was determined she had a pulled muscle and physical therapy was prescribed. However prior to one visit with the therapist, her blood pressure was over 200. They quickly rushed her to the hospital and placed her in the cardiac unit thinking she was having a heart attack. Several days later after a battery of tests, the new diagnosis was cancer.
Our first visit to the oncologist was on a Monday and we were relieved to hear it was treatable. Her first chemotherapy treatment was the next day and everything was looking up. That night, which was actually Wednesday morning, she awoke up in so much pain; I rushed her back to the hospital. Over the next two days, more tests were conducted and by Friday she was released to home hospice. Two months later my best friend for the last 32 years died.
I’m a business owner and a college professor. My circus years taught me how to put on spectacular events and my enormous amount of traveling has taught me to think on my feet. However I was the most unqualified person in the world to figure out what to do next. I knew she wanted to be cremated and I wanted to have an event that celebrated her life and let the world know how much she meant to me. Even though I had taken the two months off to be the one to care for her, I had not planned ahead or even thought of what goes into a memorial service. I just knew Fairhaven Memorial Services would be my mortuary of choice.
Fairhaven’s South Orange County management team will always have a special place in my heart. They actually came themselves to take the body away. They sat with me and patiently went through the order of service. They came up with ideas such as a memorial booklet that all guests would receive that included a poem that seemed as if it were written for her and the obituary I had written myself. We had pictures of us and ones that included our daughters and granddaughter enlarged, a picture video of her life accompanied by four songs I selected including Stevie Wonder’s I Just Called To Say I Love You, which is what I used to say each day when I called in from the road and a number of other items commemorating her time on earth.
The Fairhaven people didn’t know her, but helped create a day she could have orchestrated herself. Friends flew in from around the country, my employees and vendors volunteered to help bring to life the terrific Fairhaven ideas and suggestions and it was all done in less than a week. During her ordination, she told everyone that one day she would fill the church. On that day it was filled to capacity with people standing in the doorways. As I said in my previous blog, memorial services are for the living. This one accomplished all my objectives and would have had my wife’s approval. I thank Fairhaven Memorial Services for helping make the living present that day make the hole in their heart a tiny bit smaller and feel a little better about the incredible loss they all suffered.

No Service for Grandmother

Author: Marla J. Noel

• Friday, November 20th, 2009

by Marla J. Noel

I appreciate what Ian Crockett wrote in his posting for this blog. In old postings, I have shared with you my funeral wishes. What I haven’t shared is something that was very painful for me; an experience which helped me realize the importance of funerals.
When I came to California in my early twenties, I moved in with my Grandmother in Leisure World. This was clearly against Leisure World rules. My Grandmother was very nervous that she would be evicted for having some under-aged person living with her. However, I could tell that my Grandmother enjoyed my company. I had grown up so far away from her; this was a great way to get to know her. We talked about her childhood in Montana, what her parents were like, and what her life had been like as a mother of two. We got to know each other fairly quickly and I learned that Grandma and I shared a sweet tooth. I made sure that we were always stocked with root beer and ice cream for root beer floats, my Grandmother’s favorite. She appreciated our mobility and avoided giving me too hard a time about my driving. I am sure that I gave her more than one scare, when rounding a corner on two wheels. I lived with Grandmother for about six months. We had a good time getting to know each other, and I saw a great deal of my mother in my Grandmother.
As my Grandmother aged, my uncle moved her from her own condo to an assisted living home, where she lived her last few years. She was still close enough for me to visit her regularly and take her out for a root beer float or a piece of pie. When I got the call that Grandmother had died, I remember not being able to cry. I was sad, and a part of me did not believe she was dead. There was no service. My family didn’t do services. Services aren’t practical. Too much fuss, wasn’t what she wanted.
On a bright sunny day, three months later, I looked into the sky and saw a white fluffy cloud float in front of the sun. It looked as though the cloud had a lining. I thought of my Grandmother, and began to cry. I wasn’t alone. I was with some friends on a weekend doing something fun. My crying was not at all appropriate, was very unexpected, and I couldn’t help myself. I can tear up, just thinking about this time in my life. This may be one of those losses I haven’t processed very well. I guess, in retrospect, it is a loss that I haven’t processed. My Grandmother died more than 18 years ago. Now, when I talk to my parents about their service, they say the same thing, not practical, too much fuss, too much bother. I remind them that the service is not for them, but for all of us that they left behind. Then my mother starts to cry.
