IMPLEMENTING GRIEF SERVICES FOR OLDER ADULTS: TRANSLATING SURVEY FINDINGS INTO TARGETED PROGRAMMING
Abstract
This presentation will identify and describe the team’s ongoing efforts in actuating the Implementation phase of the EPIS Framework. Evidence-based strategies include formulating a multidisciplinary implementation team, organizing purveyor and intermediary support, and developing a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) plan. We will highlight the ways in which survey findings were disseminated to the general public and organizational leaders, such as presenting result summaries at city council meetings and in local newspaper articles. The challenges of negotiating survey findings into cohesive program implementation will be discussed, as well as management strategies towards age-related gaps in the implementation process that had not been identified previously. Recent program launches and the ways in which survey results directly informed their delivery will also be reviewed, namely, a free educational guest-speaker event for which over 700 community members attended and a grief-support holiday vigil hosted at a local long-term care facility. This presentation will also review considerations for the project’s next steps as it continues to hone its program delivery parameters and eventually enters into the last EPIS phase, Sustainment. Specific foci will include deciding the long-term methods of quality assurance evaluation and program adaptations to revolving community bereavement needs.

The verbalization of grief in David Grossman’s Falling Out of Time
David Grossman’s experimental text Falling Out of Time (2011) examines the theme of the death of a child and parents’ attempts to understand and cope with the loss. In order to represent and articulate the sense of unbearable pain and grief, Grossman employs several strategies and techniques related to both content and form which allow for a perspective that is both artistically engaging and sensitive. One of the obvious formal features of the text is his use of poetry, which seemingly represents the most natural means to express the raw emotions and pain of his characters. The paper seeks to examine Grossman’s techniques that help him verbalize the grieving experience of his characters while focusing on his use of poetic language. It seems that the capacity of poetry to rely on meaningful silences and a multilayered interpretive potential enables one to create a healing space which facilitates the process of reconciliation.
