Feb. 22. 1984 Bereaved parents' night to be held at Gi:'ierich A special night for parents who have lost children through death will be held at the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich next Tuesday night, Feb. 28. Bereavement counsellors Doreen Price and Janet Clark will be present to conduct discussion groups during the evening. Mrs. Price is the former coordinator of home visiting and bereavement follow-up at the palliative care unit of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal. While at the hospital, she served on the bereavement research program. Married and the mother of five, she now lives in London and has worked with ter- minally ill children and their families and done bereave- ment follow-up as well as working with children in play therapy prior to their undergoing treatment. - She is a bereaved parent; her son Randy died at the age of 1 following a lengthy illness. Mrs. Clark of Wingham is past president of the south- western Ontario Childhood Cancer Research Associa- tion (CCRA) . She served on the CCRA Reach -out Com- mittee to give parent-to-ar- ent support. She also is a bereaved parent, having lost, a daughter, Karen, who ap- peared in the documentary film, "Fighting Back The family night for bereaved parents has been organized through the palliative care service at the AM&G hospital. When Margaret Darte of Bereaved Families of Ontario spoke at the palliative care workshop at the hospital a year ago, a number of the parents who attended expressed an in- terest in forming a sell -help group similar to the one in Toronto. This is an association of families who have lost children through death. As a result, the first local self-help group was formed last April with the aid of a doctor and a volunteer social worker. Mrs. Clark also was a founding member of the group. The two sets of parents who took part in the short- term sessions held by the group are now resource persons and will be present at the family night. All. bereaved parents are invited to attend and to bring along the brothers and sisters of deceased children if they are old enough to understand. Attendance does not commit anyone to becoming part of a bereaved parents' group, should one be formed. The meeting will be held in the hospital boardroom on the first floor from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. It is limited to 20 persons. For further in- formation, contact Marina Hindmarsh.at 524-9200 or call the hospital at 524-8323, ext. Y. r WINGHAM FRUIMARKET - Schneiders No. 1 Wieners Schneiders 175 gr.
