Dr. Sara Murphy is a death educator, Certified Thanatologist (Association for Death Education and Counseling), and suicidologist with fifteen years of scholarly, pedagogical, and professional experience in the field. In this conversation we discuss disenfranchised grief, what it is, what causes it, and everything that funeral professionals need to know to help families avoid it. We talk about body language and verbal cues that will help families feel safe and comforted during funeral arranging, and touch on the importance of funeral directors prioritizing their own mental health while working with grieving families.
