Loss and Legacy

Grief is ubiquitous.

Yet, in many cultures, this aspect of human experience is taboo to discuss and scientific research into understanding grief is a relatively recent endeavor.

We focus on meaning-making creative activities and on addressing collective grief.

Weather permitting, we take a guided tour and explore an historical and innovative cemetery.

Students learn about ethical wills and begin creating their own legacy writing.

Weather permitting, we take a private tour of beautiful and historic Mount Auburn Cemetery.

Students may not take both PSYC E-1017w (offered previously) and PSYC E-1028 for degree or certificate credit.
