SUMMARY:Walking through Grief Support Group (8 weeks)
DESCRIPTION:The Walking Through Grief Support Group is an 8-week group open to all adults in the Greater Victoria community who are bereaved after the death of someone important in their life. \nWhile walking at a relaxed pace in the area near the Chatterton Way Community Support Centre with the facilitation of a Victoria Hospice Bereavement Counsellor and Bereavement Volunteer\, this support group is a way to explore your grief through the movement of walking\, being outdoors in nature\, and by sharing with and supporting other grievers. \nWhen: Saturdays\, 10:30 am to approximately 12 pm from February 3 to March 23\, 2024. (The first session will be longer\, running from 10:15 am to 12:30 pm) \nWhere: Walks will begin at the Community Support Centre at 102-4450 Chatterton Way \nWho: Limited number of registered participants (adults) who are bereaved following the loss of someone important in their life. Participants will be required to sign a self-declaration form stating they are capable of walking for an hour and have checked in with their doctor if needed.  \nSessions: Each session will open and close with participants gathering in a circle with a brief discussion round. In between\, participants will head out on an approximately hour-long walk. Except for inclement weather\, sessions will run rain or shine. \nHow: A pre-group intake conversation with a counsellor may be required to discuss your needs\, answer any questions you may have\, and determine whether the group is a good fit for you at this time. \nFee: here is a group fee of $70\, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds; bursaries to cover this cost\, in part or in full\, are available. \nTo register or to for more Information please call 250-519-3040 or email bereavement@victoriahospice.org

SUMMARY:Living with Grief-Adjusting to Life after Loss
DESCRIPTION: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 is an 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 overwhelming nature of grief. \nHave 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. \nJoin us as we: \n\nShare and support one another in your grieving experiences\nBetter understand grieving and mourning\nExplore the many ways that grief can impact our lives\nExplain how grieving naturally works to help us live with our losses\nIdentify ways to support healthy adjustment to loss\nExplore your continued connection to the person who has died\nHave opportunities for you to reflect and share on the material\nAnswer your questions\n\nPlease register by confirming a ticket on Eventbrite. The workshop is free of charge and will be held at our Community Support Centre at 102-4450 Chatterton Way. Please only register if you feel will be able to attend the workshop. As there are a limited amount of spaces available\, confirming a ticket means you are claiming one of these spaces. Please call us at 250-519-3040 with any questions about the workshop. \nPlease do not attend if you have signs of illness/infection. \nDo I need to bring anything?\nPlease bring whatever you need to be comfortable\, such as pen and paper\, lap blanket\, etc. We will have some office supplies on hand\, as well as tissues\, water\, tea\, and handouts related to the workshop. \nWhat if I cannot attend?\nPlease let us know as soon as possible so that we can try to fill your spot. As there are often more people interested than we have room for\, we ask you to let us know if you are cancelling your attendance. Please call us at 250-519-3040 if you cannot attend. \nDo I have to share or speak at the workshop?\nAlthough this is an interactive workshop\, you will never be expected to speak or share unless you choose to. Attendees will be invited to introduce themselves and who they are grieving (sharing their name)\, ask questions\, and/or choose to give comments on the workshop material. \nWhat if I want to attend for reasons other than currently grieving someone?\nWe hope that this workshop is dedicated to people who are grieving someone that is important to them who has died. If you have other reasons for your interest in grief education\, please contact us at 250-519-3040 to see if there are other ways we can meet your needs.
