More Than Grief: How Seven Fathers Reimagined Life After Loss | Justin Yopp | TEDxCaryWomen

When grieving widowers came together to share their losses, they gained tools to help them do they unimaginable: reimagine lives without their wives. This compelling talk highlights research by Dr. Justin Yopp and Dr. Donald Rosenstein and their work with a group of grieving fathers. If you know someone who is grieving, has grieved, or will grieve, this talk is for you. As a Raleigh native and Clinical Psychologist & Associate Professor at UNC Chapel Hill, Justin Yopp, PhD focuses his research on how to best support grieving families.
As a member of UNC’s Comprehensive Cancer Support Program, Dr. Yopp offers psychotherapy, assessment, and consult-liaison services for both pediatric oncology and adult oncology populations at the N.C. Cancer Hospital.

Dr. Yopp also co-leads the Widowed Parent Program, which offers support groups for parents who have lost a spouse or partner and are raising children on their own and conducts research to support grieving families. Last year, he co-authored The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life (Oxford Press), which weaves together contemporary thinking on grief, adaptation and resiliency with the true story of the men from their rst support group. Prior to joining the faculty at UNC, Dr. Yopp served as a psychologist at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Dr. Yopp lives with his amazing wife, Colleen, and his awesome son, Gavin. His daughter, Chloe, is a sophomore at UNC and despite raising her as a Wolfpacker, her father is very proud of her as well.
