Defining the Future of Grief Psychology with Love
Lorraine Hedtke |
TEDxCSUSB
• June 2021
If death doesn’t mean saying goodbye to love, how are we freed to grieve differently? Conversations constructed using innovative ideas where relationship continues to matter after death are a challenge to prescriptive notions found in conventional grief psychology.
This talk will focus on where and how stories of love not only transcend death but can be grown and refashioned for deeply powerful connections that live on well beyond the time when our loved one is no longer breathing. Claiming stories of love that can vibrantly live on can offer an antidote to loss, providing purpose and meaning even in the face of some of the hardest moments in life.
