Communication
Identity and grief: Navigating loss and change through rebuilding your personal identity

“Identity is complex,” said Dr. Erin Wehrman, associate professor in the department of communication, media, journalism and film at Missouri State University. “We don’t have just one singular identity.” 

Relationships play a big role in building and maintaining identity. When you grieve a loved one, you are now forced to reconstruct a new identity. But how do you navigate that effectively? What role can communication play in this reconstruction?
