Grief and Mourning

These three sessions are targeted to those who are just a few years past from their grief event; or for people who just want to learn how grief affects people. Our first session is terminology from the research: What grief is and is-not, healthy mourning, nine types of grief, and tasks of grieving are key to forward movement. The second session discusses the lenses through which we filter grief: beliefs, religion, family, culture, life experiences, level of self-awareness and resilience. The third session addresses the importance of ritual in our griefwork. We’ll view a 22 min DVD and end with after-death experiences. Handouts will be sent on each Monday for you to download and print: Text of the PP and handouts.
