A Friend Is There

You begin to help the bereaved when you attend the funeral. Being there demonstrates that although someone has died, friends like you still remain. "Being there" is an eloquent statement that you care.


[Picture of a headstone] And even when the funeral service has ended, your friends need to know you are still there. The survivors feel very alone in dealing with their fear, confusion, anger and guilt. It is so important that the bereaved have understanding friends who are sensitive to the depth and complexities of their feelings.

Memory Garden would be glad to send you a copy of our leaflet, "A Friend Is There". This leaflet gives actual, detailed examples of ways you can talk to, and help your bereaved friends. Just contact us for your copy.

Losing a Spouse

Losing your spouse - losing the present.


[Picture of the main building courtyard] Memories ... a wonderful place to visit as you absorb the shock of the death of your loved one. The years you have shared, the family you have made, and the plans you have dreamed. However, memories are a part of your past and the events you are having to deal with, alone, are in your present. The thought of the future seems unbearable.

Memory Garden would be glad to send you a copy of our leaflet, "Losing Your Spouse". This leaflet talks about how you will be feeling in the days after your spouse's death, and ways in which you can cope. Just contact us for your copy.

Answers to a Child's Questions About Death

Memory Garden would be glad to send you a copy of their booklet, "Answers to a Child's Questions About Death. This booklet is meant to help younger children cope in healthy, intelligent ways with the shock of a loved one's death. The questions and answers it contains are cast in language most youngsters can understand, and the concepts covered are well within most children's grasp.


[Picture of a young family choosing a burial site marker] Although this booklet incorporates basic Judaeo-Christian concepts, it makes no assumptions about a child's religious training and in no way reflects a specific religious point of view. We offer this publication in the belief that it will provide an honest, useful way to deal with a painful subject at a time when such help is needed. Itis suggested by the writer that at least the first time this book is read by a young child, it be on a one to one basis with an adult.
