2008 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
BRF conferences aim to increase awareness of the issues arising within the research process through the presentation of current or recent end-of-life or bereavement research studies.
As researchers and practitioners in a range of end-of-life and bereavement settings, this conference will help us explore:
*The value of story and narrative research as a way of giving a 'voice to suffering in a way that
lies outside the domain of the biomedical voice' (Hydén, 1997: 49*);
* The needs of particular groups whose bereavement is disenfranchised as expressed through
their narratives in recent research studies;
* The way in which our own stories and narratives – as practitioners and researchers – are one
of the ways in which 'we create and give meaning to our social reality' (Hydén, 1997: 50*)
