Sherman a good fit at LaGrange funeral home LAGRANGE — Jill Sherman freely admits she works in a field that that has been dominated by men. Sherman is a licensed funeral director.

She’s been part of the team at LaGrange’s Frurip-May Funeral Home for more than decade now, coming to LaGrange straight out of college.

Sherman does it all. She meets with families when they need a funeral home’s services, arranges funerals, and walks them through the process of picking out a casket for their loved one. She even does the embalming of the body.

For the longest time, the job of the licensed funeral director — the person who preps the body and prepares the funerals — was a man’s job. But that’s not true anymore.

“It’s becoming more common for women to be in funeral service, and to be licensed funeral directors, but this is still very much a man’s profession,” Sherman said.

Sherman came to LaGrange from Illinois. A graduate of Southern Illinois

on the job in LaGrange, Sherman said she still occasionally bumps into the glass ceiling. People sometimes assume she’s a secretary at the Frurip-May Funeral Home, or the wife of one of her employers.

“Unfortunately, that happens a lot,” Sherman said.

Though women in the funeral industry is not common here, Sherman said women have not been unknown in the industry. Often, the wife was a partner in the family business, working alongside her husband. But women have stepped forward in funeral sciences, taking bigger and more active roles. Fifteen years ago, when Sherman was in school learning her profession, women made up half of her graduating class.

“I think that it’s more prevalent now to see us, it’s not something that new.

People just aren’t accustomed to thinking of women as funeral directors,” she said. in Statistically, many of the women working in the funeral industry do so because of a family connection; their fathers or parents own a funeral home.

They join to carry on the family business.

That’s not the case with Sherman.

Growing up in small town in Illinois, she became interested in the profession while in high school, after the death of her father. She enrolled at Southern Illinois University, which had just opened its school of mortuary sciences.

It was when Sherman was finishing up college that she saw an ad from Frurip-May seeking someone to come to work in LaGrange at the local funeral home. Sherman said LaGrange was a good fit for her.

Being a funeral director in a small town is no easy task, she explained.

“One of the three of us will answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. At a big firm, you have a set schedule and set hours to work,” she said She said having grown up in a small community, this job in LaGrange fits her better.

“I like it, because I get to know the families personally. I enjoy that part of the job,” Sherman said.

BALANCING ACT: Nursing is ‘labor of love’ for working moms Recently, I found myself at an airport walking as quickly as I could carrying a backpack stuffed with two gallons of milk, a pump and a laptop.

I questioned for the zillionth time, “Why am I doing this?”

Continuing to LUCRETIA breast-feed a child CARDENAS while working is difficult. But more and more women are choosing to do so, particularly educated women 30 and older, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Based on my own experience, the lactation consultants’ version of nursing — a wonderful, peaceful bonding experience that helps you lose weight—is rubbish. My version is more like a

painful, exhausting process that requires great patience and tons of freezer space.

“It was more like a labor of love,” said Ruth Koontz, the 33-year-old director of community relations and marketing for Goodwill Industries of Northeast Indiana Inc. She nursed her 17-month-old Elle Marie until she was 10 months old.

The pumping machine is a blessing and a curse. It is a result of professional women’s demands to be able to provide what science says is the healthiest food for a baby while continuing to pursue their careers.

“When I went back to work, I tried to wean my body off for some hours knowing that I would only be able to pump once. For some that would be difficult, but it seemed to work well for me,” said Eloiza Flores, who currently is an oncology nurse at Indiana University Health-Goshen.

At the time she had her children, Skyla and Isai, she was in her early

20s and working in an all-male office.

Her coworkers never knew what she did during her half-hour break and she didn’t volunteer.

Pumping means carefully planning out each day to devote to the machine.

Those of us with offices and a desk have the luxury of closing a door, hooking up with a hands-free brassiere and continuing to work at our computers — looking like a cow in a business suit.

Others squeeze a chair near the one plug in a tiny bathroom and attempt to express milk as sanitary as possible.

In addition to having a proper space to pump, those who have irregular schedules are burdened with finding time during the day that corresponds to their baby’s schedules. To continue nursing, a mother must pump each time her child would typically feed.

“Juggling work and nursing was challenging,” said 26-year-old Marta Wysong, a former sales manager with KPC Media Group who now teaches

at the Crossing in Ligonier. “I had to schedule meetings so that I knew I could take a break at appropriate times. Also, at times I was on the road making sales calls or training a coworker, which made it more difficult to take breaks.”

She nursed her child for 12 months.

Her daughter is now 18 months old.

Three years ago, when Amanda Benz, 30, nursed her first child, Aspen, she was working part-time as an emergency room nurse in Fort Wayne, which was a tricky combination.

difficult to pull away from patient care in order to pump every four hours; but it was a priority for me in order to care for my child,” Benz said.

Benz is now a full-time nurse instructor with the University of Saint Francis, which provided her more flexibility to pump for her second child, Slate, who is 1.

West Noble first-grade teacher Mary Kiser, says she actually enjoys breastfeeding her 7-month-old daughter, Allison, but juggling work and nursing is tough.

“There are so many things to remember each morning and [there are] usually multiple trips to the car,” Kiser said. “You also have to plan more carefully. It is an adjustment, but at this point we have a routine. As long as you remember all the pieces to the pump, you’ll be fine.”

Many of the women I spoke to worked with lactation consultants to improve their breast-feeding experi-

ences. But, several moms expressed the need for more education for coworkers and bosses so that a mother doesn’t feel embarrassed for needing 20 minutes or so to pump.

In addition, having a clean, pleasant place to pump is needed, the moms said. As one mother pointed out, most people wouldn’t eat a dinner or have it prepared in a bathroom, so why should a baby?

No matter the struggle it takes to breast-feed, the mothers I spoke to all agree it’s worth it — which gives me hope.

“I encourage all women to overcome any barriers and to breast-feed as long as they’re able,” Koontz said.

With two months left of the 12-month commitment I made, I’m in the home stretch. But, to be honest, the main thing keeping me going is the incentive provided by my daughter’s daycare, Poplarhaven. The owner believes in breast-feeding so much, she provides a $1 per hour discount to those that do.

While a baby’s health is important, so is a mother’s sanity.

Cameron Birthing Center provides support after delivery

BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — The Birthing Center at Cameron Memorial Community Hospital does not practice catch and release.

In fact, the staff at the facility builds relationships that sometimes last generations.

“There’s a lot to this baby business,” said Tonya Alleshouse, director of Cameron’s Birthing Center.

Credit the longevity of the staff and its dedication over the years of making the birthing experience last more than just one particular day.

“After you have your baby, you have to go home after 48 hours,” Alleshouse said.

And no matter how easy or difficult the birthing process may have been, the real challenge starts with the care of the baby, she said.

That’s why Cameron and the Birthing Center staff offers constant followup care for mothers and their babies. And it can include fathers or partners.

Each mother who gives birth at Cameron is encouraged to return to the hospital with the baby soon for a followup visit.

“We like to have the mothers come back after two or three days with the baby,”

Alleshouse said.

During that visit, the baby is checked over for many of the basics, like weight, along with any variety of ailments, like rashes, proper healing of the umbilical cord, healing of circumcisions and the like. Mom is checked out, too, for any potential issues.

“We can talk about any issue they may have encountered when they’ve gotten back home for a couple of days,” Alleshouse said.

If mother and family need help obtaining a family physician, that’s done. And any other help that might be available is offered, like getting assistance through Healthy Families, Children First Center or Women, Infants and Children, to name a few.

Staff is available 24 hours a day to help mothers with advice that’s just a phone call away.

“If you are having a problem, we’ll talk you down,” Alleshouse said.

Cameron is known for having the only certified lactation consultant around, which is Alleshouse. Often when babies are born in other communities but the families reside in Steuben County, mothers are referred to Cameron for breast-feeding and other postpartum services.

All staff can assist in breast-feeding training and breast feeding classes, as well as prenatal classes offered at Cameron.

Alleshouse related how many times mothers will approach her in the community, remembering their experiences from giving birth at Cameron and the followup care they have received.

Some of the stories are routine, some are

poignant, some are stories of urgent need that ended happily.

Of all the things a mother remembers in life, it is the day she gave birth to a child.

And included in those memories are the staff that assisted with the birth at the hospital.

“We work real hard at making that connection,” she said. “We want to be that place for the community, that resource.”

Since Cole and Salisbury both are women helping women, they say they can relate to their patients because they’ve undergone the same tests, which can sometimes be very uncomfortable.

Cole said they call lots of women back for additional tests, but that shouldn’t be cause for alarm. Radiologists are very good at being honest and forthcoming with their patients, so don’t worry until someone tells you to, Cole said.
