“…Postmodernist approaches in social work reject linear, rigid narratives defying categories in order to embrace the temporary and the new. One can move to a holistic way of thinking by deconstructing established ideologies (Moffatt, 2019).

“…Postmodern social work in grief support, through reflective practice and research, is always conditional on historical and social context, embracing principles of multiples ways of knowing and truth by disrupting the traditional ways to grief (Foote & Frank, 1991;Walter, 2007;Moffatt, 2019). Moreover, postmodern social work in grief introduced art-based approaches as a way to deconstruct and reconstruct knowledge challenging the idea that there was one inherent meaning to study, research and express grief (Walter, 2007).…”

The lives of immigrants are forever changed by the many losses that they leave behind during their migration journey. Through the use of poetry, this qualitative research draws upon narrative and art-based approaches to explore the effects of cultural bereavement and migratory grief on the identity and well-being of Latinas Immigrants. Three Latina women shared their grief stories through poetry, disrupting preconceived notions of representation in Canada. Under the lens of Latino critical race theory, issues of race, culture, and gender that intersect to dictate Latinas experiences with migratory grief were analyzed. Findings yielded five theoretical concepts: The cumulation of grief, losses and stress guides process of acculturation, cultural values dictate Latinas settlement, changes in identity, struggle with oppressive systems and resistance and resilience. The result of this research will guide the reader to understand immigrants' experiences with the invisible yet powerful pain of grief associated with migration. Keywords Migratory grief, cultural bereavement, Latinas, Latin America, poetry, Immigration, losses. Migration, identity ABSTRACTO La vida de los inmigrantes cambia para siempre debido a las pérdidas que enfrentan al dejar sus lugares de origen y por las dificultades que enfrentan durante su camino migratorio. Mediante el uso de la poesía, esta investigación cualitativa usa una combinación de arte con narrativa para explorar los efectos del duelo cultural y el luto migratorio en la identidad y el bienestar de los inmigrantes Latinos. Tres mujeres Latinas compartieron sus historias de duelo a través de poemas, rechazando ideas preconcebidas acerca de la representación en Canadá. Bajo la lente de la teoría crítica de la raza Latina, se analizaron la interseccionalidad de raza, cultura y género y su influencia en dictaminar las experiencias de las mujeres Latinas con el duelo migratorio y el luto cultural. Los resultados arrojaron cinco conceptos teóricos: la acumulación de pérdidas y el estrés guían el proceso de aculturación, los valores culturales dictan el asentamiento de las Latinas, existen cambios en la identidad, hay lucha con sistemas opresión y la resistencia y la resiliencia. El resultado de esta investigación guiará al lector a comprender las experiencias de los inmigrantes con el invisible pero poderoso duelo asociado con la migración. Palabras clave Dolor migratorio, luto cultural, Latinas, América Latina, poesía, inmigración, pérdidas. Migración, duelo cultural, identidad.
