On the Role of Death in Life
Dr Sheldon Solomon PHD (90 minute keynote)
The uniquely human fear of death has a pervasive effect on human beings' thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Humans manage the terror of death by adhering to culturally constructed beliefs about reality that provide a sense that one is a person of value in a world of meaning, and thus eligible for either literal or symbolic immortality.

Intervening in Meaning:

Dr Robert A. Neimeyer PHD (90 minute keynote)
Dr Robert A. Neimeyer PHD (90 minute keynote)
Viewed from a constructivist perspective, a central process in grieving is the attempt to reaffirm or reconstruct a world of meaning that has been challenged by loss. As research with bereaved young people, parents and older adults indicates, both natural and violent death losses can leave mourners struggling to process the event story of the death and to make sense of its implications for their lives, and to access the back story of their relationship with their deceased loved one in a way that reaffirms their sense of secure attachment.
