ABOUT EACH WORKSHOP
Each Bereavement Workshop is an eight-part, educationally oriented workshop, led by Rick Yant, Tidelands Community Hospice Bereavement Coordinator. The workshop provides a person suffering grief from the death of a loved one a better understanding of why their grief is so difficult and how to get through it. It integrates grief education with an opportunity to share with others who are experiencing similar loss. The workshop is also for the non-bereaved wishing to gain a better understanding of grief. Topics covered include the following:
- Session One: Crazy Is Normal
- Session Two: Understanding the Stages of Grief
- Session Three: Surviving Stress and Loneliness
- Session Four: Our Feelings of Denial, Bargaining, and Guilt
- Session Five: Our Feelings of Anger and Depression
- Session Six: Spiritual Elements of Grief and Healing
- Session Seven: The Value of Memories
- Session Eight: Review and Discussion
