Participate in a Research Study
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.

About Grief: Insights, Setbacks, Grace Notes, Taboos [Hardcover]
About Grief is a refreshingly down-to-earth book about an issue that blindsides many people. Written in a warm and conversational way that is, at times, deeply moving, at times, surprisingly amusing, and always practical, it covers a wide range of issues facing people in grief. Marasco and Shuff have done the footwork for readers who wish to know more about this complex subject. Using a variety of sources, including books, films, music and many hours spent talking with people in grief, the authors distill their candid insights into a series of short, single-topic-essays that can be easily digested in one sitting--a format they found grieving people preferred. This is not a book written by clinicians, so there's no cold jargon. It's not a memoir of one individual's grief, so it has something for everyone. And it's not a self-peddling inspirational book. It's a wise, plain-spoken, comforting book about an intimidating topic. As one reader recently said of About Grief: "Reading this book is like having a smart, entertaining friend around--at a time when you really need one."

A Letter To Heaven
Darkness has come
I'm alone in the night
Hiding my feelings
Out of everyone's sight
Despair fills my soul
Which as a fact is quite strange
Cause inside feels empty
My feelings have changed
When you left I felt good
Like you wanted me to
I looked deep inside
And there I found you
It felt like you were here
Living in me
Giving me strength
To live life and just be
I felt honored and proud
That you were my dad
That I was there your last days
All the time that you had
Brave and determined
To get through this with pride
To keep the promise
That I made as you died
Forgive me if I fall though
I know there will be bad days
Cause I loved you so much
In so many ways
As a father and friend
Counselor and adviser
There never lived a man
Who could have possibly been wiser
I'm so sad and confused
Like a lost little girl
I feel like an oyster
Without its precious pearl
Cause that's what you were
All shinny and bright
Who brightened each day
And chased away night
I'll never forget
And I'll always miss you
But we'll meet again
This just has to be true
With a love as strong as we had
Not even death can keep us apart
Where are you?
