Grief and Healing


WITH EYES OPEN: COPING WITH DEATH - GRIEF AND HEALING

The news of a loved one's impending death is often accompanied by an initial reaction of fear. In this program, introduced by NewsHour's Ray Suarez and facilitated by Frank Ostaseski, founder of San Francisco's Zen Hospice Project, seven everyday people reflect on their experiences with loss, grief, and healing. Discussing what they fear, how they would say good -bye, and other deeply personal topics, some discover the transformation and healing that may occur in such moments. The program concludes with a simple exercise in which participants write a final message to their loved ones, toss the paper into a fire, and watch the ashes rise into the darkness.

TEENS DEALING WITH DEATH

Maybe it's hearing about friends, driving home from a dance, who get into a car wreck that no one survives. Or a fellow student -the one who wears a bandanna to hide what chemotherapy has done to her hair -one day fails to show up for homeroom. Or an announcement over the school's PA system: "There will be a memorial service this afternoon..." For many young people, this will be their first exposure to death. How can teachers and school administrators help guide them through the experience? This program features Camp Comfort Zone, in Virginia, where viewers meet teens who have come to spend a weekend of talking, enjoying the outdoors, and sharing their grief over someone they've lost. The stories range from suicide, to sudden death, to terminal illness, and as the camp weekend progresses, viewers see how veteran campers help first -timers release their feelings. As healing and personal growth continue, an amazingly positive spirit, in most cases, actually overshadows the sadness.

Teens Dealing with Death includes expert advice from Dr. Elena Lister, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at Cornell University Medical College, New York City, and the collaborating psychoanalyst at the Columbia Psychoanalytic Center as well as the co -author of I Will Remember You: A Guidebook Through Grief For Teens. Dr. Lister shares her own personal experience of losing her daughter and offers suggestions on where teens can go for support and help in their communities.

    WHEN SOMEONE DIES: BEREAVEMENT & LOSS

    Adolescence is a time of tumultuous changes, but no change is more overwhelming than suddenly facing the realities of death. Dealing with the death of a family member, friend or school acquaintance can be devastating for young people. Many young people will resist the concept that grief is a normal or necessary emotion. This DVD arms teen viewers with information that will teach them that death and bereavement are natural and inevitable parts of life.

    Many of the myths around mourning are explored. Teens will understand that the process of mourning is unique for all people, and should never be ignored or trivialized. The DVD provides helpful information on the emotional states that often follow a personal loss. Leading adolescent psychologists discuss the stages of healthy grieving and healing, and provide details on how to cope with a painful loss. When Someone Dies offers students a sense of confidence that they can indeed go forward after suffering a personal loss.

    OUR GRIEVING HEARTS: STORIES OF PARENTAL BEREAVEMENT

    Franca and Peter Napoli said a long goodbye to their 4 -year -old daughter Christina, who died of a brain tumor. Linda and Glen Woods lost two sons, one in a car accident, one to suicide. And Margaret and former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau's son Michel drowned. In this powerful program, three couples describe the ordeal of losing a child and their search for meaning in the face of tragedy that can become an all -consuming grief. It is a search that begins with tears, denial, and guilt at surviving one's offspring, but often ends in a new equilibrium and a heightened sense of the sacredness of life.

    DEATH, DYING AND GRIEF IN PSYCHOTHERAPY

    By Milton Viederman

    Therapists of all orientations will benefit from seeing how psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles can be effectively adapted to short-term therapy with clients and patients facing issues of grief, death and dying.

    Volume I: A Brief Psychodynamic Approach

    Over the course of four actual sessions, Milton Viederman, MD demonstrates a psychoanalytic approach to working with grief.

    Paying detailed attention to the subtle nuances of the therapeutic relationship, Viederman adapts the principles of psychoanalysis to a course of brief therapy. Pat is the primary caregiver for her dying husband and is experiencing the grief and fear around his impending death. Forming an interpretation of Pat's core conflict and elaborating this theme throughout the sessions, Viederman helps Pat explore the early life experiences that give meaning to her current emotional responses. He builds rapport and trust with this open and engaging client, offering her a supportive environment in which true insight is produced.In a poignant follow-up session, Pat reveals that the therapy was instrumental in helping her be at peace with her husband's death.

    Volume II: Hospital Consultation with Medically Ill Patients

    Milton Viederman, MD, brings his psychoanalytic orientation to actual hospital consultations with cancer patients.

    In this companion volume, Viederman continues his exploration of the application of psychoanalytic principles to brief therapy. While many of us feel comfortable meeting clients on our own turf, we are often less certain how to navigate the therapeutic relationship in a hospital setting with visibly ill patients. Working quickly to assess the conscious and unconscious coping mechanisms that affect the patient's experience of illness and treatment, Viederman's main objective is to create a supportive relationship and relive patient distress. Interspersed with illuminating commentary, Viederman skillfully demonstrates when to probe defensive structures and when to leave them alone so as not to increase the patient's anxiety.
