SUMMARY:The Mystery of Grief: Writing into the Loss
DESCRIPTION:When we lose loved ones\, writing can be a powerful tool for helping us remember them\, helping us re-encounter the world without them\, and helping us re-know ourselves as the loss transforms us. \nIn this two-hour online program\, Evermore Poet Laureate Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer will offer a few suggestions for writing. Together\, we will read poems about grief and discuss them. We will have chances to do our own writing\, there will be optional time for sharing what we wrote\, and we will have time to reflect on the effect writing has on us. \nThe event is scheduled in Eastern Time (ET).

SUMMARY:Join Evermore’s Lived Experience Bereavement Research Network!
DESCRIPTION:For too long\, bereavement research has failed to give bereaved people a voice and to incorporate the real-world factors that matter to grieving people\, especially to their health and well-being. The narrow focus on what’s “wrong” with us and why we haven’t adapted to our loss on a specific timeline simply does not resonate with a large portion of people’s lived experience. Without input from those living with grief\, researchers cannot know the most important research questions to ask and what kinds of care models and interventions should be developed. \nEvermore\, with financial support from PCORI\, has established the Lived Experience Bereavement Research Network (LEBRN) to do just that.  LEBRN will bring together people with varied backgrounds and expertise\, including people who have experienced bereavement themselves — bereaved parents\, children\, siblings\, spouses\, and community leaders — alongside bereavement care providers and researchers. Over the next two years\, we will identify how to best engage with bereaved people during research endeavors and we will recommend research questions\, from the perspective of lived experience\, to guide the future of bereavement research. \nAs part of LEBRN\, Evermore is engaging all bereaved people who would like to share their experiences\, opinions\, and insights to inform future bereavement research. \nThe event is scheduled in Eastern Time (ET). \n  \nIt’s FREE! It’s virtual. Sign up today!
