鈥淒eath is a universal experience that everyone has to deal with at some point,鈥 said Dr. Menago. 鈥淗owever, we don鈥檛 really talk about our personal experience or the tasks associated with taking care of the deceased. We hope to open the door to having candid conversations regarding grief, loss, and meaning-making.鈥
鈥淢y constant stance is one of learning,鈥 added Martinez. 鈥淭he human experience is extensive and complicated, and it is always worthwhile to learn more about it. The subject of loss, grief, and meaning-making is one that I have experienced as well, and want to invite others into the journey of familiarizing ourselves with such a complex process. Additionally, it adds to my understanding and growth as a student and developing professional.鈥
