Workshop #1 - 10 am
“Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Grief”
Who imagined we would be walking this path, yet here we are. This workshop deals with the basics of grief and the multi-faceted changes we face mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically as we take on the challenges of processing loss. The focus will be on fully understanding our loss, how to build our own unique support system and the importance of educating ourselves.
Workshop #2 - 1 pm
"Does It Ever Get Any Better?"
Grief can leave behind a lot of unfinished emotional business. Some of us deal with guilt and regret, and other issues such as not having the opportunity to say goodbye. The second workshop will focus on things we can do and actions we can take which can bring healing and meaning into our lives.
