Exploring Suicide Loss Survivorship and Postvention Support During the Coronavirus 2019 Pandemic

Suicide is both a severe and pervasive issue in our society (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2023b). For every suicide, the loved ones of the deceased who are left behind face a long, arduous journey of grieving. Suicide loss survivors who emerged throughout the COVID-19 pandemic arguably encountered more unique challenges during this global crisis than in times past. However, research regarding suicide loss survivorship experiences during the pandemic remains largely overlooked. Therefore, this novel qualitative phenomenological study aimed to capture the lived experiences of those who became suicide loss survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to what postvention support that they both sought and received. This study consisted of nine suicide loss survivors whose experiences were explored through semi-structured interviews. The subsequent interview data were analyzed using a descriptive phenomenological framework (Giorgi, 2009). This study’s findings illuminated the following six themes: (a) the emotional turbulence of suicide loss survivorship during a pandemic, (b) coping individually with suicide loss during a pandemic, (c) social support systems as sources of strength and resilience, (d) therapy as a conduit for healing, (e) barriers to grieving together with loved ones, and (f) the forging of newfound relationships and the deepening of existent bonds. The findings of this study highlight implications for future research directions regarding suicide loss survivorship, pandemic-related or otherwise. Additionally included are clinical implications for mental health providers who likely will end up working with clients whose loved ones died by suicide during the pandemic

Contrast As A Governing Principle: Topic Deployment In Selected Sonatas Of Johann Christian Bach

Between the end of the Baroque era and the end of the Classical era, there was a shift in the way music was composed. This shift allowed composers to employ multiple topics in one work as opposed to the single-affect-per-movement that was standard under the Doctrine of Affections. Despite plenty of scholarship about both of the eras, the transition from one to the other has been relatively unexplored. Early musicologist Charles Burney noted in a volume of his General History of Music that there was a composer who was the first to employ “contrast as a governing principle”, and this comment functions as the starting point in examining Johann Christian Bach as the crux of the transition between eras. The extant scholarship surrounding how music was composed at the start of his life is examined in conjunction with his musical biography to contextualize the unique position Bach held in his day. He was a composer whose early musical education laid in Baroque tradition, but broke away from certain parts of it as his career took him from Berlin to Italy to London, where he soaked up the new and different music of the respective areas before incorporating them into his own works. This resulted in compositions like his Opus 5 sonatas, three of which are surveyed with Burney’s comment in mind. The analyses reveal different ways that Bach employed contrast, including different perspectives of the same topic, contrasting high- and low-class styles, and more. This kind of contrast paved the way for music in the later decades of the Classical era that used topics in a faster, wittier manner that would not have been possible without Bach’s particular approach to contrast
