Presented by Jenna Corcoran, MSW Thesis

Rebuilding and Finding Meaning in a Digital Era: How Online Activity Affects Women Experiencing Reproductive Loss explores how women use online spaces following reproductive loss. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, the research examined how social media and digital communities can support meaning-making, identity reconstruction, and connection during grief. The findings highlighted the complex and purposeful ways women curate online engagement, not only to identities and experiences of motherhood, grief, and resilience.
