Grief and Loss

October 29, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

 

Presentation Description:

While grief is universal to every human, each person’s grief experience is unique.  This presentation illustrates the power of a caring professional and an atmosphere of compassion and comfort to help the individual move through and fully metabolize grief.  The presenter will teach the art of emotional alchemy to welcome, rather than fear, the pain of loss, turning grief into gratitude.  Practical advice will be provided to encourage healing and transformation while combatting lingering unexpressed sorrow.  Obstacles to successful grief work, such as privatized pain, will also be explored as well as powerful tools to overcome those obstacles, allowing mourners to acknowledge and embrace pain and loss.
