Participate in a Research Study

comforting

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.

Funeral Wreaths

Common Bond

We have a common bond
A silver lining that binds each heart
It unites us in the end and teaches a brand new start

We've each experienced heartbreak
Like a rushing river's flow
We've felt such tears of sorrow
And we become afraid to just let go

Overwhelmed by such grief
That reveal great aches in our soul
Wondering why love hurts so much
As we loose our sense of whole

Our sunny days become cloudy
Our nights bring on a chill
We pray for a bright tomorrow
As we try to just get over that hill

We try to stay busy
Busy enough to forget our pain
And put that simile upon our face
And wonder if we're insane

We understand each other
Without ever saying a word
And with one small touch
We know that we were heard

I'm grateful you have a loving family
In whom you can rely
I'm happy you have someone
To hold you when you cry

I'm grateful to the Lord
That in His love we can depend
And I pray for each of you daily
That your hearts will truly mend

Although our lives have changed
And the pain will some what subside
I'm truly greateful for this group
With hugs and support to be your guide

This thread that binds our hearts
A bond that will not fray
I thank you all for sharing
In your special way

My words so small I give as a gift
To this group so proud and strong
But remember when all is said and done
God bless you all life long.
