Komunikácia s rodinou ako forma intervencie v čase jej krízy
Communication with the family as a form of intervention in times of a crisis

Summary/Abstract: The paper highlights the importance of communication with a family at the time of loss of a loved one. Commu- nication with survivors, who may be parents, siblings but also grandparents or schoolmates, is described and seen as a communication in crisis. The authors see the form and manner of this communication as a necessary form of interven- tion after the loss of a loved one and as one of the important pillars of so-called grief therapy. In times of crisis, in the “af- termath” of the death of a loved one, words can and often do, in the authors’ experience, have enormous power. Word art, the book, the Bible, often brings parallels with real life. A word, a story, a fairy-tale has great power because it is a carrier of an idea, a carrier of a story, a carrier of a message. The message contained in a story educates us, makes us think, and makes us respond to ourselves and to others to often painful experiences. In many ways, it shows the way. The authors see the justification for using the so-called therapeutic text as a form of intervention after a loss and in time of grieving.
