OBITUARIES

In loving memory of

Helene DupinNov. 8, 1932 – March 15, 2009

In all our lives, there are treasures.More precious than silver or gold.

And none of these priceless treasuresCan ever be bought or sold.

The beauty that surrounds us all along life’s thoroughfare

Are treasured gifts given by Godfor everyone to share.

The sound of children’s laughter,And good and faithful friends.Are treasures we shall cherish

till our life’s journey ends.Love for our children and their love

for usIs more precious than silver or gold.

For our love is everlasting,and can never be bought or sold.

Doris A. Orth

Mom, we love you and miss you.Your family

Coping with grief and lossSubmitted Article

Coping with grief and loss tip 1: Get supportThe single most important factor in healing from loss is

having the support of other people. Even if you aren’t com-fortable talking about your feelings under normal circum-stances, it’s important to express them when you’re grieving. Sharing your loss makes the burden of grief easier to carry. Wherever the support comes from, accept it and do not grieve alone. Connecting to others will help you heal.

Finding support after a lossTurn to friends and family members – Now is the time to

lean on the people who care about you, even if you take pride in being strong and self-sufficient. Draw loved ones close, rather than avoiding them, and accept the assistance that’s of-fered. Oftentimes, people want to help but don’t know how, so tell them what you need—whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or help with funeral arrangements.

Draw comfort from your faith – If you follow a religious tradition, embrace the comfort its mourning rituals can pro-vide. Spiritual activities that are meaningful to you—such as praying, meditating, or going to church—can offer solace. If you’re questioning your faith in the wake of the loss, talk to a clergy member or others in your religious community.

Join a support group – Grief can feel very lonely, even when you have loved ones around. Sharing your sorrow with others who have experienced similar losses can help. To find a bereavement support group in your area, contact local hospi-tals, hospices, funeral homes, and counseling centers.

Talk to a therapist or grief counselor – If your grief feels like too much to bear, call a mental health professional with experience in grief counseling. An experienced therapist can help you work through intense emotions and overcome ob-stacles to your grieving.

If you recognize any of the above symptoms of compli-cated grief or clinical depression, talk to a mental health pro-fessional right away. Left untreated, complicated grief and depression can lead to significant emotional damage, life-threatening health problems, and even suicide. But treatment can help you get better.
