Putting CNSM Theory to the Test
Communicated narrative sense-making theory (CNSM) highlights the links between storytelling and health, emotions, perceptions, and behavior. The current study, situated in CNSM’s interactional storytelling heuristic, tested proposition 4, which posits that interactional sense-making (ISM) positively predicts dimensions of psychosocial and relational functioning. We analyzed video-recorded storytelling interactions of 31 families using the ISM obs…
“Probably Benign?!”
Though medically perceived as harmless, researchers have demonstrated that Benign Breast Disease (BBD) is viewed differently by patients than clinicians. Patients with BBD report lower quality of life caused by diagnosis-associated uncertainty, anxiety, and depression. Despite these known harmful impacts, limited attention has been given to how patients make sense of BBD, which can help us understand patients' health, coping, and communication. G…

Grieving “The Death of Possibility”
Guided by theories of communicative disenfranchisement (TCD) and memorable messages (ToMM), this study analyzes 60 open-ended survey responses detailing experiences of grief following the onset of invisible, physical illness (e.g., chronic overlapping pain conditions, autoimmune rheumatic diseases). Employing reflexive thematic analysis, we identify (1) illness-related losses that are disenfranchised by discourses surrounding grief and (2) opport…
We’ve Had to Relearn All of Our Family Dynamics”
A family member's death from terminal illness can impact the entire family in profound ways. Surviving family members must make sense of their bereavement, though few are offered spaces to tell their stories in ways that might help them do so. The purpose of this study was to explore the content (meanings, values, and beliefs) and types of family bereavement narratives crafted by individuals living in the United States upon an immediate family me…
It comes in waves
Experiencing the onset of (invisible) chronic illness in emerging adulthood prompts a unique grieving process that is disenfranchised due to social discourses that sanction grief to death-related loss. Guided by relational dialectics theory, the present study analyzes the retrospective narratives of 57 emerging adults with acquired invisible illness (e.g., chronic overlapping pain conditions, autoimmune disease) about their meanings of grief. We …
