She has included her story and the tools and studies she used to move through her healing journey, including mindfulness, meditation, and yoga.

Tuesday, June 23, 2022 International Widows Day on Tuesday, June 23, 2022, is an annual day to bring global awareness to the violation of human rights and dignity that widows suffer in many countries after the death of their spouses. The loss of a spouse is devastating under the best of circumstances but the COVID-19 pandemic has made the situation worse over the last several months, leaving many thousands of women newly widowed and cut off from financial and familial support. There are an estimated 258 million plus widows around the world, and close to 1 in 10 live in extreme poverty. The United Nations observes this day to draw attention to the voices & experiences of widows across the globe and to galvanize the unique support that they need. It is an opportunity for action towards achieving full rights and recognition for widows. Widows' rights are women's rights are human rights. "For many women, becoming a widow does not just mean the heartache of losing a husband, but often losing everything else as well." – Cherie Blair, wife of former Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

The Coronavirus Bereavement Study aims to better understand factors that may be related to bereavement experiences by learning from those who have experienced a loss during the pandemic. Participants will be asked to complete an online questionnaire that surveys their loss and bereavement experiences, including how the pandemic interfered with their grieving process, as well as their general background information (gender, age, health status, and so forth), mood, personality, coping, social engagement, stressors, and functioning. There are also open-ended responses to questions about their experiences and opportunities for a follow-up phone interview if chosen. Participation in the study is totally voluntary and open to individuals who are English-speaking, age 55+, and who have experienced the death of a significant other during the pandemic and have access to a computer or smart phone. The study poses no significant risks, participation will be anonymous, and all data will be kept secure and confidential. Eventually, this research could improve our understanding of the factors that contribute to individuals’ bereavement experiences. Each person will have the opportunity to win a $100 gift card for their participation. This research study is being conducted by Sarah Brown-Adams, M.A., Rachel Czosniak, M.A., Alejandra Zamora, M.A, and Richard Zweig, PhD. of the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology of Yeshiva University, with approval from the University’s Institutional Review Board.
