Bereavement Counselor
Bereavement CounselorI am reminded of a gentleman I met almost 30 years ago, Mr.
David Fairfield, who got sober, and
was rebuilding his life very effectively when he was given a diagnosis of cancer.
When I spoke to him he seemed mystified as to why it was happening to him, and I was unable to
do anything but listen.
I did not get to talk to him again before his death, (we did not have a professional relationship),
but many people in the AA community were very upset by the diagnosis, and began to spin out of
control emotionally.
(We had a small community back then).
David gathered strength from some deep place and modeled what I will call a conscious and
purposeful dying and legacy for the AA community in Bloomington, Il.
He taught those of us lucky enough to know him about moving effectively towards this inevitable
part of our lives, and in so doing modeled appropriate death and bereavement for many in the AA
community.
