New Grief: Good Grief

Each of us will experience grief at some point and while it is a universal experience, it is also a unique one.  There are no healing formulas or "right" ways to manage grief but there are healthy and effective ways to cope and achieve balance in our lives.  New Grief: Good Grief is designed to help individuals who have recently experienced a loss to identify common grief reactions and to learn healing is possible. The one-hour group workshop will help attendees:

  • Recognize the loss and begin to accept the accompanying pain
  • Identify physical and emotional reactions to the loss
  • Learn ways to help alleviate bereavement-related stress
  • Become familiar with the healing process
