A one-time, interactive workshop covering the basics of grief and mourning, and ways to cope for those who are bereaved following the death of a loved one. This workshop encourages sharing from participants while learning about different ideas around grief and mourning.

Have you recently lost someone important to you? Are you surprised by your grief and wondering what is normal and how best to cope? This workshop, developed by the grief counsellors at Victoria Hospice, will help you understand your grief.

Join us as we:

• Share and support one another in your grieving experiences
• Explore the many ways that grief can impact our lives
• Explain how grieving naturally works to help us live with our losses
• Identify ways to support healthy adjustment to loss
• Explore your continued connection to the person who has died

This workshop will take place at our Community Support Centre at 102-4450 Chatterton Way. As this is an Island Health facility, attendees will be asked to wear masks for the duration of the workshop to prevent spread of illnesses. Please try to bring your own mask, but we have some on hand if needed. Please do not attend if you have signs of illness/infection. We appreciate your attention to this matter.

The workshop is free. Please register on Eventbrite.
