YOUR
QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED HERE
This
is to introduce a series of answers to questions we've been getting lately.
We'll be discussing various aspects of death and bereavement ... coping
with the loss of loved ones ... how you explain death to a child ...
behavior toward the bereaved and what you might say... the setting up
of one's life anew ... the importance of pre-planning one's funeral
arrangements.
Our
goal, as always, is to handle these very personal matters in your best
interest. To serve you better, we've studied the latest in pertinent
philosophical and psychological materials. We have discussed these
problems with the clergy, lawyers and doctors to prepare ourselves for
the best and most fitting answers for you.
If
your reading of these columns helps you through a trying time,
our effort will have been worth it. We invite your questions. We'll
answer them in private or publicly through this column.
