CHRISTOPHER PURDY TALKS WITH PHYLLIS R. SILVERMAN

Phyllis R. Silverman is a researcher, teacher and author whose primary interest is bereavement and how death is dealt with in our society. Her early work was focused on the needs of the widowed and this led to the development of the Widow-to-Widow program. Dr. Silverman talks about society’s reaction to the recent shootings at Virginia Tech, explaining death and bereavement to children and the challenges facing men widowed after long marriages. We spoke form her home in Massachusetts on May 2, 2007.
