Dec 8 – When the Holidays Hurt (Online via Zoom)
The holidays can be a difficult time for those who grieve. Acknowledging this may help us to accept our reactions and tap into ways that make it easier to
manage.
Nov 24 – Staying Connected to the Person Who Died (Online via Zoom)
When someone dies, it’s natural to worry about losing the memories you have of when they were alive. For this reason, it can be very helpful to find concrete ways to pay them tribute.
Nov 10 – When Grief is Complicated (Online via Zoom)
Grief is how we respond when we experience loss. Everyone experiences grief and many people associate grief with the death of someone close to them. Grief is also a common reaction when someone in their lives is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Grief is complicated.
