If you have experienced the death of a loved one in the past ten years and are over eighteen years old, we invite you to participate in a brief online study of the ways that individuals make sense of and find meaning in loss. All participants will be entered in a raffle to win one of two $50 gift certificates to Amazon.com.

Your participation will contribute to a better understanding of grief and loss. The researchers, Dr. Brian Vandenberg, and Rachel Hibberd, are most grateful for your time and help in completing the study. If you have any questions, please e-mail rhibberd@umsl.edu. The study has been approved by the Institutional Review board of the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Steve-Wickham_119803As I strode past a century-old cathedral the sign-board resounded: "When adversity strikes, God's already prepared the strength to get through." That speaks volumes for the power of God when we most need it. It's when we reach for God - times when we're rocked way past our own resources to cope. This 'power' is the strength to cope, to live, to endure... even a minute at a time. That strength comes from prayers that are a million notches deeper than the spoken word.
