Six months after the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, I immigrated to the United States from Korea. Despite the momentousness of the ruling, I had no idea then that much of my professional experience would be in community health, reproductive health, reproductive justice, and adolescent sexual health.![]()
![]()
My traditional Korean family never spoke about anything personal, much less sex. In fact, I was taught not to share anything personal that might bring shame on our family name. The strict patriarchal structure of our home encouraged me to speak only when spoken to. Much good that did.![]()
![]()
Neither my mother’s limited English nor my lack of proficiency in Korean can fully be blamed for my never having been given even the most rudimentary talk on the birds and the bees, and I don’t ever recall a class on sex education in high school. I pretty much had to figure things out on my own.![]()
![]()
I wasn’t Jewish at the time, nor did my family observe any religion, so no faith shaped my views on sex or abortion. And yet, looking back, I am pretty sure that if I had experienced unintended pregnancy my mother would have been supportive of an abortion. It turned out she too was not such a fan of the patriarchal structure that followed us from Korea and took root in our suburban home in Evanston, Illinois.![]()

THIS SUNDAY![]()
To grieve is human, to grieve is to love. Grief can be traumatic and transformative. We want to grieve fully so we can live fully. What does it mean to grieve fully? What does a griever need to heal? How do I know I’m supporting myself through my grief? Six needs of grievers will be discussed: to have your pain witnessed, to express your feelings, to release the burden of guilt, to be free of old wounds, to integrate the pain and the love, to find meaning in life after loss. And we will go over key elements people need when in grief: community, continued connections, to not be defined by our grief, to treat ourselves as if we are our own best friend, comparisons and counting our wins. There will be time for sharing and personal reflection.![]()
Your curiosity and grief are welcome. You do not need to be actively grieving to attend. ![]()
