Ambiguous Loss & Dr. Pauline Boss
All of us have experienced a wide range of loss and grief from the last 2 years of life under a pandemic. In this second installment of our focus on Grief and Loss, host Lisa Laudico speaks with leading social scientist, family therapist, professor, and writer Dr. Pauline Boss about all of her research and her latest book, The Myth of Closure: Ambiguous Loss in a Time of Pandemic & Change. Dr. Boss has extended the lens of her groundbreaking research to the world we live in today. This is another episode that has something for everyone – not just those of us living with MBC or a terminal diagnosis. It is a privilege to listen to Dr. Boss speak and teach.
This type of interview will now be part of our new, “Our MBC Bookshelf” series that will highlight the authors and books who make a difference in our lives. If you have an author whom you would like us to interview – drop us a line.
Finally, we have launched a new version of our very popular Dash of Joy – this season we want to hear your little dashes of joy and we will play them in future episodes. Moments of joy do not have to be (maybe shouldn’t be?) big splashy insta moments but the big and small real moments of joy that help us each day to have some lightness in our heart even when life feels so hard. Listen here for Dar Finkelstein’s introduction of this new mini segment this season.
