SUMMARY:“Speaking Grief” film screening & discussion
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT! \nVictoria Hospice Movie Night for Grievers \nJoin Victoria Hospice Bereavement Services for a screening of the award-winning documentary Speaking Grief to explore the transformative experience of losing a family member in a death- and grief-avoidant society. \nThis film seeks to normalize grief through candid interviews and help people become more comfortable with the many faces\, forms\, and personal experiences of grief. By sharing diverse representations of bereavement experiences\, this documentary illustrates that grief is a universal\, yet individual experience and moves away from the idea that grief is a problem that needs to be “fixed.” It offers validation for the diverse experiences of grievers and guides those wishing to support them. \nWe will view the documentary in the first hour\, with coffee\, tea\, water and popcorn provided. Following the film\, Victoria Hospice bereavement counsellors Heidi Wigmore and Marney Thompson will facilitate a discussion with the audience about grief and how it is presented in the film. \nSeats are limited and you must purchase tickets in advance on Eventbrite – ticket price is $5. Please note in registering for a ticket on Eventbrite\, you are securing one of the limited tickets for this event; please do not register unless you feel committed in your ability to attend. Should you register and need to cancel\, please inform us at 250-519-3040. \nRegister and buy tickets here. \nNOTE: This focus of this evening will be socializing\, light discussion\, and learning.This is not a support or therapy group. Although we encourage participants to prepare for feelings of their grief in watching this film\, there will not be an opportunity for participants to deeply process\, express and share personal grief\, so we encourage you to be mindful of your needs in attending this movie night.
