Grief & Loss Workshop Series & Support Group
Grieving is a natural process, and individuals experience grief and loss in different ways and on different time tables.
It can be helpful to share your experience with others who have been affected by the death of a significant person.
Each session in this 6-week workshop series/support group includes discussion of a particular topic (e.g., facts/myths about grieving, frustration with a lack of understanding/social support from others, changing life roles after a death, cultural and spiritual aspects of grief, traumatic grief), a coping strategy, and sharing of resources.
Time will be based on members’ availability.
