SUMMARY:Coping with Ambiguous Loss
DESCRIPTION:When someone dies\, we have rituals to mourn their passing and accept that they are gone. We do not have the same rituals for losses in which the person may be physically absent but still living (such as disappearances or separation due to immigration\, incarceration\, or divorce) or physically present but emotionally or mentally changed (in part due to dementia\, Alzheimer’s\, or the loss of mobility and independence). These kinds of losses – in which there is no real closure or resolution – are known as “ambiguous losses.” \nIn this discussion\, Betsy Englander\, Mental Health and Wellness Engagement Manager at Jewish Family and Children’s Service\, will help participants gain a deeper understanding of ambiguous loss and learn tips and techniques for facing these losses in themselves and others. \nRSVP requested. Please stop by the Front Desk at Brigham House\, 20 Hartford Street\, or call 617-796-1675. Or send your name\, telephone number\, and email address to our receptionists at seniorprograms@newtonma.gov

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Sixty Blades of Grass
DESCRIPTION:Sixty Blades of Grass\, by Elizabeth Millane\, is an intriguing and dramatic\, yet personal\, story about the Dutch resistance during the Second World War. \nInspired by the author’s own family history\, this is a riveting\, heartrending novel of danger and betrayal that explores what it takes to lay down one’s life for another in the most harrowing of circumstances. \nElizabeth grew up along the shores of Lake Michigan\, loving books and family stories. It was natural for her to be drawn to the stories she overheard as a child when Dutch relatives visited her family\, and to seek them out when she lived abroad. She was educated at Boston College\, earning a Bachelor of Art in English literature\, and at the University of Lancaster\, Lancaster\, England\, where she completed a Junior Year Abroad program. During that year that she traveled extensively on the continent\, visiting her Dutch relatives several times and learning their tales of heroism and sacrifice\, which formed the basis for Sixty Blades of Grass. \nRSVP requested.
