Death is a universal experience. It’s emotionally fraught; often feared yet rarely discussed. But talking about death and confronting grief allows us to more effectively move through it, and planning for death can bring new clarity to daily life. In the context of COVID–19, navigating grief, loss, and memorialization becomes even more challenging. For this Alma In Conversation, psychotherapist, writer, and grief advocate Megan Devine; Jungian psychotherapist, Soto Zen teacher, and co-founder and guiding teacher of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care Koshin Paley Ellison; and founder of Death Over Dinner Michael Hebb joined Alma member Jordana Jacobs, PhD, to discuss strategies that providers can use to support clients in their grief and the power of memory and memorialization. Alma In Conversation brings together experts in their field for an open discussion about themes and topics relevant to mental health care providers and their clients. Alma is a network of therapists, coaches, and wellness professionals dedicated to simplifying access to high-quality, affordable mental health care and a destination for people seeking care.
