Episode 203: Understanding Black Grief
Collective grief. Suffocated grief. Anticipatory grief. Black grief is unique. Western society tries to define grief and describe the grief process. Swiss-American psychologist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross extensively studied the grief process; her research has set the standard for understanding grief. However, this standard is not fully relevant or applicable to the Black grief experience.
Espresso Talk Today is joined by psychologist Mary Chappell, Ph.D. who will discuss the uniqueness of Black grief, the failure of western society to acknowledge Black grief, the problem that this causes, and how Black people can support each other during the grief process. Dr. Chappell also discusses the warning signs of grieving persons who need extra support. Please join us for this compassionate and life-affirming discussion about this difficult subject.
