Grief Recovery Workshop

This workshop provides a safe environment and critical tools to aid in the grieving process that is natural following loss. Loss can take many different forms, including:

Death

Divorce

Illness

Retirement

Moving

"Empty Nests"

Unfortunately grief is poorly understood, and often taboo for discussion. As a result, people often grieve alone; trying to deal with the conflicting emotions caused by loss. We are all touched by loss - not understanding it can have negative impacts.

Grief will continue to affect our lives adversely until we reject the many myths about grief, such as:

Time heals all wounds Grieve alone

Keep busy Be strong for others

Replace the loss

Recovery from loss is achieved by a series of small choices made by the griever. This program uses a format designed and written by the Grief Recovery Institute of California.

In this workshop you will learn:

Myths that compound grief To identify and talk about loss

Tools to deal with incompleteness accompanying unresolved grief
