Asians In America: Grief Support During Lunar New Year
During Lunar New Year, families gather to celebrate hope and prosperity. For Asians in America, it can be challenging to reckon with losses and ensuing grief connected to family, roots, heritage and/or culture, alongside additional diasporic experiences.
Join us and find support and community navigating major and minor feelings related to loss and grief, the dynamics of immigrant families, ancestral grief, cultural bereavement, and the pressure of the holidays to name a few...
Tida Beattie and Soyeon Davis are cultural bereavement educators, peer grief support facilitators, and end-of-life doulas.
Tida and Soyeon are daughters of Thai and Korea immigrants, respectively. They co-founded MESO because of their personal experiences witnessing critical gaps in the health, death, and grief care systems throughout their parents' lives. Their work is focused on providing culturally attuned resources and support to inter-generational immigrant families, their caregivers, and their grievers addressing loss and grief.
