Living with Grief: Adjusting to Life After Loss (in person)

Wednesday, July 2 at 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

A one-time 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 is the same content used in previous offerings of this workshop). This is an education-focussed but interactive workshop that encourages sharing from participants while learning about different ideas around grief and mourning. Although we will not be screening participants, we recommend that you give yourself at least one month after your loss before attending this workshop due to the potentially overwhelming nature of grief.

Are you grieving the death of 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 to deepen your understanding of your grief, as well as offering a chance to connect with other grievers in our community. Join us as we:

  • Share and support one another in your grieving experiences
  • Better understand grieving and mourning
  • 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
  • Have opportunities for you to reflect and share on the material
  • Answer your questions
