Models of Grief
There are several well-known models of grief. In this blog post, we outline each of them, and share both their strengths and limitations to understanding the nuanced and idiosyncratic experience...

Laura's Grief Story
Last night I had a dream about my late husband, Tom. I dreamed about him like it was present-day and we were making the decision to pursue a bone marrow...
Hi, I’m Laura Cannon.
I lost my husband to cancer when I was a 27 year old oncology pharmacist in training. While I was just trying to survive, I was met with ‘widows are usually a lot older,’ ‘you’re so strong,’ and ‘I’m not sure how you’re doing this’ (for the record: not helpful and me neither). I felt alone, overwhelmed with others’ opinions and expectations, and in desperate need of a relatable space to feel understood. I craved a place where I could sit securely in the human experience of grief and feel understood in every stage of its unfolding — a place to be… Just Okay. I worked hard to create that place within my own life, and through that realized that now more than ever, that space is needed for all of us.
