Grief & Healing Workshop Topics

Grief and Healing

Loss is a part of all of our lives. Whether it be the loss of a loved one, a job, role, or natural disaster, loss can be devastating and immobilizing. Because grief differs for everyone, there is no “right way” to grieve and no timetable. This workshop will help participants address the emotional pain of their loss while offering tools to manage the impact, whether the loss was anticipated or abrupt.

During this workshop you will learn to:

• Identify issues that may be unresolved around the loss you are facing
• Develop coping skills to build support around you
• Respond to insensitive comments made by others
• Identify what resources may be needed to help cope with areas you are not familiar with, i.e. insurance policies, funeral preparations, liquidation or disbursement of assets

Coping With Infertility

The loss of the opportunity to give birth to a child can be devastating. After months, often years, of medical examinations and tests, couples are often left discouraged, angry, and distant from one another. This workshop will address how couples often grieve differently and ways to stay connected (or reconnect) due to infertility.

During this workshop you will learn:

• How spouses cope with infertility
• Ways to reconnect with your spouse
• Coping skills to deal with loss
