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."

Funeral Wreaths
Angel Andrew
God created the heavens and the wind in the trees
He gave us sun in the morning and the big bumble bees
After all this beauty, God still wasn't through
So he created a angel and named him Andrew
Andrew came to us one day in December
A small fragile angel we'd always remember
This Little One needed so much just to live
No one could imagine how much he would give
This small little angel showed us a way
To find the joy of living each and every day
Asking the question, "What is your name?"
Forever our lives were never the same.
A few favorite things this angel had too,
like chewing gum, thin mints and cold Mountain Dew,
Pennies in the pockets of his worn overalls,
and rides on a cycle with his loving grandpa.
This angel named Andrew, so loved you could see
by Mommy, Daddy and his whole family.
He thrived and he grew beyond all expectation,
this work of the heart, God's lovely creation.
Then, as God planned, he called Andrew home.
But he promised the family they were never alone
See, love is a spirit that grows within you,
as we live every hour, we remember…Andrew
Though we can't kiss him or caress his sweet face,
We can still one day see him in a beautiful place,
Where all children are happy and angels abound
This is where our little Andrew is found.
Living on earth just won't be the same
without our little angel, Andrew's his name.
Some day we will find him, when it's our name God calls
We will see our Angel
with pennies in the pockets of his worn overalls.
