Johnston.
Farmers are able to help farmers
By Lera Ryan
Family Resource Management
Specialist
"The day of the auction sale was the worst
day of my life," said a farmer who was forc-
ed to liquidate his business. The process of
leaving the farm is much more than just a
business decision. It may involve several
major changes - making a new home, fin-
ding employment, adjusting to an urban
community, as well as the complicated
financial affairs associated with the farm.
Everyone resists change to some extent,
and people differ in their ability to adjust to
changes. Children, as well as parents, fear
what may happen, and may feel some guilt
for the difficulties the family is having.
Farming can be a very lonely occupation
when the bank is threatening foreclosure,
when cr•eai rs are closing accounts and the
farm coup just doesn't know what to do
next-Moay farm couples who have already
handled a bankruptcy, a liquidation or a
transition to employment are offering sup -

port to other families through self -Help
groups.
A group of six or eight people who trust
each other and are personally committed to
each other's well-being offer a safe, comfor-
table haven to work out solutions together. -
A place to express fears and feelings and to
work through some anger and guilt in a con-
fidential setting can provide a great deal of
relief.
Once a couple realizes their own physical
and mental health and their family are top
priorities, even if the business no longer ex-
ists, they have gained a major step. Then
essential and informed decisions will be
easier to make. Being able to assess a situa-
tion objectively, without the overlay of per-
sonal feelings is difficult. A small group can
help a person see the real situation, just as
he would look at someone else's. There is an
opportunity to help others. Some laughter
and relaxation can relieve a lot of tension
too.

Sometimes foreclosure proceedings drag
on for months. The fear of the unknown
builds stress in anyone. Handling the finan-
cial situation is a challenge, but controlling
emotions may be a bigger challenge. Per-
sonal relationships often become strained.
It is not unusual for a build-up of stress over
several months to cause physical illness.
Families aren't expected to handle
stressful situations on their own. Churches
and extension people in some areas are get-
ting people together in small supportive
groups. Individuals themselves should ac-
cept some responsibility for their own well
being and that of their friends. They should
seek out a small number of persons to share
some time helping each other. The
knowledge and problem -solving efforts of
such a small group can provide acceptance
. of emotions and difficulties, support, en-
couragement, and a renewed self-
confidence in each of its members.
