Earl A. Grollman, a pioneer in the field of crisis intervention, was rabbi of the Beth El Temple Center in Belmont, Massachusetts, for 36 years. A certified death educator and counselor, he was cited as "Hero of The Heartland" for his work with the families and volunteers of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Dr. Grollman has spoken at many colleges, clergy institutes, seminaries, physicians' forums, and hospital nursing associations, and has frequently addressed support groups such as The Compassionate Friends and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. He has also appeared on numerous national television and radio programs, including the Oprah Winfrey Show, Children's Journal, All Things Considered, and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. He was featured on National Public Radio's The End of Life: Exploring Death in America series in the roundtable discussion on grief and bereavement.
He is the author of several books including Living When a Loved One Has Died, Straight Talk about Death for Teenagers, and Living When a Young Friend Commits Suicide.
Almost 30 years ago, Grollman wrote a groundbreaking work for children on death, Explaining Death to Children (LJ 11/1/67). Since then, Americans have made strides toward viewing death as a natural part of life, not an occasion to be denied or ignored, and for the most part this attitude is being taught to children. Grollman now brings together articles from 14 writers (teachers, medical professionals, clergy, and counselors) to address diverse subtopics, such as terminal illness, death education in schools, responses among different faiths and ethnic groups, and the use of film and drama to teach about death. His selections stress the importance of grief and attendance at a funeral and burial or marking closure in some definite way. The value here is in recognizing wide, diverse responses to death while supporting the idea that since death is part of life, children need to be prepared.
