Maximum Living Support Group-Help For Those Who Hurt

Can you survive losing someone you love? Answering this question can be difficult. It forces an individual to examine their personal feelings, values and priorities. However, this process is what we call grief and is our natural reaction to loss, especially the death of a significant person in our lives.

Taking the time to learn about death and working through your own grief can improve your quality of life. Chas. A. Miller Sons, Inc. developed an exclusive professional association with Dr. John Canine and Nanci Canine of Maximum Living Consultants, Inc. Chas. A. Miller Sons will provide at no cost to our clients, one individual counseling session with the assistance of a grief consultant. Mr. Ken Czillinger, a well-known grief specialist in Cincinnati, has been hired to manage this grief aftercare program. In addition to the individual counseling sessions, Chas. A. Miller Sons and Mr. Czillinger host a monthly dinner group meeting from 6:00-7:30 P.M. at First United Church of Christ in College Hill. Family members and their friends are invited to attend these dinner meetings at no cost and share their experiences with others that have lost a loved one. In November of each year, the monthly meeting is replaced with a holiday service of remembrance. From 6-7 P.M. is a sit-down dinner served in the dining room of the church. 7-7:30 P.M. is a presentation by Mr. Czillinger.

The complete program is free of charge.

About Ken Czillinger

In five years, Ken Czillinger suffered a lifetime of loss. His mother died of cancer in 1965. Four years later, his 24-year-old brother died from heart surgery. His father died of heart failure in 1970.

But he turned his loss into something positive. When Mr. Czillinger grieved, family members were the only people he could share with. Since then, Mr. Czillinger has helped bring together thousands to share their losses. He has helped form more than 20 support groups in Greater Cincinnati, including Parents of Murdered Children. The National Catholic Ministry to the Bereaved has awarded Mr. Czillinger, a priest from 1969 to 1994, the Mabel Garey Award to recognize his outstanding commitment to ministering to mourners.

"He has had outstanding ministry to the bereaved," said Eloise Cole, a National Catholic Ministry to the Bereaved board of trustee's member.

Mr. Czillinger today serves as a bereavement manager for VITAS Innovative Hospice Care; runs a private practice for bereavement and teaches a course entitled "Life through Death" at the College of Mount St. Joseph. "The satisfaction," he said, "comes from just knowing that you made a difference in other people's lives."

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived-this is to have succeeded.
