Grief center begins its second year of easing the pain
By Lisa Broman
With the intent of helping people over
come the setback of a friend's or relative's
death, the Lincoln Grief Center continues
in its second year of operation.
The center, according to former chair
man, Mary Marietta, is a concept rather
than a place.
Although no physical center exists, the
program is staffed by trained professionals
prepared to help anyone overcome grief.
"Although there are other such centers
around the country" Marietta said, "ours
is unique in that we have a fully profes
sional staff made up or doctors, nurses,
chaplains, clergy from all faiths, psycholo
gists and socio! ogists.
. In addition to this, paraprofessionals,
most of whom has suffered a loss of their
own acl jred from it, make up the
staff of approximately 15 workers.
Staff members, who are volunteers, act
as moderators of discussions as well as
contributors, Marietta said.
Beginning Nov. 23, group sessions will
be conducted at die downtown YMCA
from 5:30 to 6:30 pjn. every Tuesday.
Those drop-in sessions d3 be geared to
ward making it easier for grief stricken per
sons to make the first step toward re
covery, she said.
1t is often hard," she said, "for a per
son to seek help after a shock such as death
has hit, so hopefully through this drop-in
program we will be able to get people to
make the first step toward recovery and
talk oat their problems with people who
can empathize with them."
The biggest plus, is that persons can
have the opportunity to meet people with
the same problems, she said.
"We are trying to get people to forget
the old attitude of, "handle it on your
own, and instead work with others to
solve problems," she said.
Money for the project is earned from
workshops and private donations.
Those attending programs range in age
from children of various ages to adults of
80, with the greatest concentration of per
sons in their 20s and 30s.
Death is hard for someone of any age,
Marietta said, so there is little difference
in the time it takes an older person and a
. younger person to overcome death.
Each individual handles it In a unique
manner, she said, but it takes the average
person six months to a year to recover
from the death of a close friend or relative.
The death of a child is the hardest for
anyone to face, Marietta said.
A 24-hour crisis line operates to help
anyone talk out their problems.
"Ours is a job that works with feel
ings, so we try to put as much feeling into
our work as we possibly can, she said.
