When Loss is Traumatic: Reflections from Life and Research
UHD Social Work professor, Dr. Liza Barros-Lane, knows how profoundly life can shift when loss comes without warning. In 2020, her husband died in a tragic boating accident, an event that reshaped her identity and her world. Since then, she has explored what it means to mourn a loved one when the death is sudden, accidental, intentional, violent, or deeply tragic.
This three-part series weaves together her personal story and traumatic bereavement
research to explore how trauma complicates grief, and how people find ways to survive
and slowly rebuild their lives in the aftermath of devastating loss.

All events are both in-person in C100 and via Zoom.
