What are the unique considerations of supporting parents grieving the loss of adult children? Dr. Neimeyer and I explore this in our chapter "An Unexpected Loss: The Loss of an Adult Child" in the new book by HFA on an #agingAmerica: hospicefoundation.org/HFA-Products/A… …

Can’t wait to be a part of this!!

How does Dr. Neimeyer’s Meaning in Loss Group protocol facilitate meaning making among the bereft? The brilliant Edith Maria Steffen who piloted the group is here on a visiting scholar award to address this question. We’re working hard and eating well!

What a treat to share work with the passionate and insightful clinicians, educators, and researchers ADEC Headquarters! So grateful to have you in the audience for this @JakobvanWielink. #ADEC2019

Why focus on meaning making in grief therapy? Because disrupted meaning is a path to severe grief. Grateful to AfterTalk @CruseCare Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo & many others for collaborating our study! The 1st articles are here: doi.org/10.1002/jclp.2… & doi.org/10.1080/200081…

I don’t think I ever truly understood the concept of “because I have to” until I had to write up my dissertation with my newborn in tow.

Thrilled to be presenting our work on the Meaning in Loss Group, piloted by my #AcademicSoulmate, the brilliant Edith Maria Steffen!

The Online/Distance Ed committee ADEC Headquarters is thrilled to have David Zuniga, Ph.D., psychologist & zen priest, offer a webinar on #Mindfulness as an approach for bolstering resilience despite the unpredictability & isolation of #COVID19 #SocialDistancing: adec.org/page/webinars

Excited that our collaboration is out! Looks like social distancing and staying at home empowers us by inviting us to participate in the global effort to flatten the curve.

In his @huffpost article, Daniel Tencer suggests that Canadians "like the new normal" of working from home. Makes me think of our finding that staying home improves mental health by giving us a sense of control and predictability during #pandemic.

This is amazing! Clearly they feel it affords them a sense of control and predictability over the coronavirus...feline applications of our COVID research 😜

Thrilled to be offering a virtual #workshop for Austin Center for Grief and Loss on how professionals can support clients in making meaning as they #grieve death and the #loss of their way of life during the #pandemic
