C.O.P.S. 101
Laurie Sticklen Surviving Spouse y husband Jim Stumpy Sticklen died March 4, 2011 while attending a training course. At our rst C.O.P.S. meeting February 2012, Julie Schmidt had Hershey kisses as the centerpiece so we immediately knew we were among friends (conrmed by pizza lunch to follow!). This was our rst experience meeting other survivors and we felt surrounded by empathy and understanding from those who had been there and we left with a sense that this was a special group. Thanks to advice taken from that meeting and support from Kentucky C.O.P.S. we decided to y to National Police Week and attend all the activities. After arriving at Reagan Airport, the walk through the rows of saluting ocers, the escort to baggage claim and the bus, and the motorcycle es-

At the hotel we were met by a slice of home in Julies smiling face and her KY C.O.P.S. backpacks. These backpacks were armed with everything you could imagine. Suce it to say, we did not lack for Kleenex, sunscreen, umbrellas, hand sanitizer, T-shirts, writing materials, rst aid kits, snacks, snacks, and did I mention snacks. Our police week experience was something we will always treasure. We were honored to meet the Minnesota LEU ocer who represented us with the ag and bracelet he bicycled with 250 miles with in honor of Jim.

C.O.P.S. 101, contd
Andrew (age 16) attended the Kids/ Teen program at the FBI Academy where they participated in fun activities with amazing kids with whom they felt at ease right from the start. Through talking with other survivors, Mary (age 21) and I discovered that although everyones story is dierent, the similarities drew us together. In various sessions I often thought I felt the same way or I experienced that. To know others are or have been where you are, that what you are experiencing is normal that is an invaluable gift. At the Memorial Service the honor and respect for the fallen ocers and their families was experienced throughout the day. In talking with other families, I was stuck that those being honored had many things in common including love for family and community and dedication to service. I felt these ocers would be humbled by the tribute, but so grateful for the support shown to their families. National and KY C.O.P.S. have also made it possible for us to attend tremendous Hands On Programs. In August, Andrew attended Outward

C.O.P.S. Walk 2012

Jennifer Thacker KY C.O.P.S. Benet Coordinator October 10 & 11, Katherine and I were able to enjoy the autumn beauty of the C & O Canal Towpath while also supporting Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) during the 8th Annual COPS Walk. This years walk was particularly special because Katherine was recognized for 100 miles walked and I was recognized for 200 miles walked for C.O.P.S. I encourage people of all ages to walk in the COPS Walk in October 2013 or COPS Walk Southwest in March 2013. 25 miles in two days may seem like a long distance, but when walking with friends and making new friends, sharing stories of our ofcers with tears, laughter and great support, the time and miles really pass quickly! All you have to do is gather $1000 in sponsors, which will support C.O.P.S. programs. Special thanks to the Kentucky Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation for generously sponsoring Katherine and me and to the KY C.O.P.S. Chapter for paying our travel expenses so we were able to take part in this rewarding and fun lled weekend!

Jennifer & Katherine Thacker, survivors of Investigator Brandon Thacker, EOW 4/16/1998, are all smiles after walking 25 miles in honor of Brandon.

He has a wonderful new wife that completely supports him. I spoke with Tonys mother at the KY C.O.P.S. annual picnic this year. She was extremely supportive and advised me that she had encouraged Tony to take the position. I would like to welcome Tony to the position and I look forward to working with him! It is important that I let you know that in June 2013, we will be having elections! Please feel free to become involved and see what this organization is all about. We will have vacant seats that will need to be lled. Remember that this is a volunteer organization and we work very hard! Its very rewarding to help the best people at the worst times of thier lives!

On June 5, 2012 Mike Townsend resigned as the Kentucky C.O.P.S. Vice President. Mike advised that due to family health issues and numerous other commitments it would be best for him to focus on those issues at this time. Mike is staying on as a board trustee and we would like to thank him for his service! With that being said, I began a search for a new vice president to take Mikes place for the remainder of the term. Immediately Tony

Getting Through the Holidays
Surviving Grief During the Holiday Season
From Angela Morrow, RN

PAGE

If you have lost a loved one, you might be wondering how to cope with your grief this holiday season. With the rst fallen leaf of autumn, we begin to anticipate the holidays ahead. Our senses are acute and take in everything: the smell of turkey roasting and freshly baked pies; the holiday songs playing on the radio; the sound of laughter from our loved ones who have gathered together. But for those of us who are experiencing illness, grief, or the loss of a loved one, the holidays can be a time of sadness, pain, anger, or dread. The ebb and ow of grief can overwhelm us with waves of memories, especially during the holidays. Grief will also magnify the stress that is already a part of the holiday season. How do we begin to ll the emptiness we feel when it seems everyone else is overowing with joy? There are some strategies to help you cope during the holidays and beyond. Strategies for Survival Oer Yourself Some Grace The best thing you can do this holiday season is be kind to yourself. Give yourself permission to feel whatever it is your feeling. Dont fall prey to the belief that you have to feel a certain way or do certain things for your holiday to be normal. If you feel sad, allow the tears to come; if you feel angry, allow yourself to vent some steam. Be Kind to Yourself Get the rest and nourishment you need. Dont take on any more than you can handle. If you need to be alone, honor that. If you crave the company and aection of others, seek it out. Do whatever it is that feels right to you. Ask For and Accept Help The holiday season is no time to feign

strength and independence. You will need the help and support of others to get through. Dont feel as though you are a burden. People get immense satisfaction and joy from helping those they care about. In times of need, other people desire to help but often dont know how. This is the time for you to speak up and make your needs known. If you need someone to help you with meals, shopping, or decorating, tell them so. They will be delighted to feel like they are helping you in some way. The same holds true for your emotional needs. Friends and family may feel uncomfortable when it comes to talking about your grief. They may think that you dont want to talk about it and dont want to remind you of your pain. Again, you will have to direct them in the best way to help you. If you want to talk about what youre going through or just want a shoulder to cry on, let your loved ones know. Find Support Sharing your feelings is the best way to get through them. You need people you can talk to. Friends and relatives can be a great support to us during times of grief, but they are sometimes full of their own grief or so immersed in the business of the holidays that they cannot be a support to you. Support groups for caregivers and the bereaved are plentiful during the holiday season. Check with local churches, community centers, and hospice agencies to nd a group that suites you. Support group members often make friends that end up being a source of support for years to come. Make a Dierence Most of us like to help others during the holiday season. Taking the orna-

ment o the tree at the mall, dropping our change in the charity basket, or donating to our favorite organization can help us feel like we are contributing to a greater good. Helping others in times of grief can help take the focus o yourself and your pain. Volunteering at a nursing home, hospital, childrens shelter, or soup kitchen can be cathartic in times of pain. Even helping a friend or family member in need can be healing. Stop the Comparisons Its easy to watch other families and compare them to your own. Seeing other families together and enjoying the festivities may make you feel deprived. Keep in mind that the holidays are stressful for most families and are rarely the magical gatherings depicted in greeting cards. Try to embrace what you have rather than compare it to what you think others have. Remember That You Will Survive As hard as it is for you right now, you will survive. You will make it through the holidays in one piece. It may be the most dicult season in your time of grief, but it will pass. And when it does, you will come out on the other side stronger than before. You dont have to enjoy the holidays. You dont even have to go through the motions pretending to enjoy the festivities. But, its also just ne to have a good time in spite of your grief. If happiness slips through your window of grief, allow it to happen and enjoy it. You wont be doing your loved one an injustice by feeling joyous. The best gift you can give anyone you love, even someone you have lost, is being true to yourself and living your life to the fullest.
