Families Helping Families
An Interview with Ken Druck, Ph.D.
Three years ago, a unique non-profit organization was formed
to help grieving families cope with what many consider "the
worst loss," the death of a child. The
Jenna Druck Foundation was created as a tribute to the
life and spirit of Jenna Druck, a truly remarkable young woman who
was killed in a bus accident while studying abroad in India. Jenna's
father, noted psychologist and author, Ken Druck, Ph.D., now a Hoffman
Institute Advisory Council member, recently discussed his mission of service to honor
his beloved daughter. This is Ken's story of how he came to start
the Foundation's Families Helping Families program and
how the Process helped him piece his life back together.In the past
three years, Ken Druck and a small staff of Families Helping
Families volunteers have helped hundreds of grief-stricken
families in Southern California and across the nation, including
those impacted by the TWA crash, Littleton and Oklahoma City tragedies.
As Ken learned from his own nightmare, the resources available to
families in this darkest night of the soul are scarce and inadequate.
What began as a horrible tragedy for the Druck family has today
grown into a ground-breaking program that is working to assure that
no family need walk alone following the death of a child.
