Group eases death trauma
By AMY S. COLLINS Staff Reporter
For people who have to cope with death on a daily basis, a support group has been formed to help them deal with the pain and emotions accompanying death.
The group's founder, Michelle Tamurbiin, Leavenworth senior, said yesterday that she started the group because of problems she has faced while her mother has been dying of cancer.
"Talking to your friends about it isn't the same thing as going through it with someone who knows." she said.
Tamburini said that she had looked for a support group on death and dying, but that there was none in Lawrence, Topeka or Kansas City.
She decided to call the St. Lawrence Catholic Center and encouraged Milton Argnarbit, the center's staff social worker, to sponsor a group. The group consisted of women volunteers, their friends and those facing the after-effects of someone's death.
"This used to be something people never talked about," Tamburini said.
"We wanted to share experiences with people who are going through this, too."
"We have about seven people who come to the group," she said. "It's a really nice sharing experience."
She said the group spend about one-and-a-half hours every Tuesday night sharing problems and emotions associated with death and dying.
the idea of such a support group. Tamburini said.
Not all group members were directly involved with death or someone who is dead. I am not so sure.
"Since this is an awareness group, we are planning to invite guests to speak about different areas concerning death," she said.
The group plans to have a priest discuss the theological aspects of dying. Other possible guests include a meritorious doctor and a doctor—ill-mentioned pillman.

The accident occurred at 11:05 p.m. when the northbound car, a Javelin, struck the train's engine and landed upside down on the north side of the railroad embankment, Union Pacific officials said.
"It came right off the levy, I guess," E. Painter, Union Pacific conductor, said. "The engineer said it was us." The engineer of us. We didn't feel anything."
As soon as the train was struck, the engineer braked, Painted师. He said the train was traveling 45 m.p.h.
