LILIPOH Issue #119 – Spring 2025

**In the Spring 2025 issue of LILIPOH, in the article titled “Making Space and Time for Loss and Bereavement” by Joyce Reilly (page 45 of the e-magazine), we mistakenly credited a photograph to the wrong individual. The photo depicting the Team USA Emergency Pedagogy Intervention in Asheville, NC was incorrectly attributed to Nikki Shoneman.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the actual photographer, Natalia Peschiera Picasso, for bringing this to our attention, and we apologize for the oversight.

This has been corrected.
