<TD class=paragraph>Paulette Walker created the "Growing Through
Loss" Program, which began in 1993 at the Indianapolis Juvenile
Correctional Facility in response to research indicating that
80% of incarcerated youth had experienced a significant loss
prior to incarceration.

<P>"It takes courage to feel and express the pain of grief in a
society that often values restraint. The loss of someone
important to us or something of value leaves us a changed
person."
<P><EM>Cora adds: </EM>And sometimes we need help to make that a
positive change.
<P>When Paulette piloted the program in a juvenile correctional
facility, she was hoping for a class of 15 volunteers. Instead,
130 out of 225 high-risk adolescent males referred themselves.
Amazing in a place where volunteering is not the norm. </P>

<TD class=paragraph>The "Growing Through Loss" program has been
used by the YWCA, YMCA, correctional facilities, traditional
schools, alternative schools, residential treatment centers,
churches, community centers & adoption agencies.
<P>The program has been recognized as program of the week by the
Peter Drucker foundation and the magazine Youth Today.
<P>The program addresses losses such as death, family divorce,
abandonment, physical & sexual abuse, pregnancy loss, etc.
While the program has been geared for adolescents, it has been
used the past 5 years with women at the Indiana Women's Prison.

<TD class=plainheading>Meaningful Poem</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD class=paragraph>
<P>The following poem is from the graduation session of the
Growing Through Loss Program - used with permission.
<P><BR>To LET GO is to fear less and love more. <BR>To LET GO
doesn't mean to stop caring. It means I can't do it for someone
else. <BR>To LET GO is not to cut myself off. It's the
realization that I don't control another. <BR>To LET GO is not
to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
<BR>To LET GO is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome
is not in my hands. <BR>To LET GO is not to try to change or
blame another. I can only change myself. <BR>To LET GO is not to
care for, but to care about. <BR>To LET GO is not to fix, but to
be supportive. <BR>To LET GO is not to judge, but to allow
another to be a human being. <BR>To LET GO is not to be in the
middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect
their own outcomes. <BR>To LET GO is not to be protective; it is
to permit another to face reality. <BR>To LET GO is not to deny
but to accept. <BR>To LET GO is not to nag, scold, or argue, but
to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them. <BR>To
LET GO is not to adjust everything to my desires but to take
each day as it comes and to cherish the moment. <BR>To LET GO is
not to criticize and regulate anyone but to try to become what I
dream I can be.
<P><STRONG>
<CENTER>To LET GO is not to regret the past but to grow and live
for the future.</STRONG> </CENTER></TD></TR>
