Dealing with Grief and Loss
Each one of us will experience the pain of grief and will endure the process of bereavement at some time in our lives. Therefore, it is important to understand the process of grieving in order to move forward beyond the pain of loss and take steps towards healing recovery.
Dealing with grief can be a very challenging time for those experiencing it. Observing someone suffering from grief and being unable to help them can be equally distressing. Grief is a term used to describe all the thoughts, behaviour and feelings that occur after someone goes through a bereavement.
A bereavement is any event that includes a loss. We may experience loss through the death of someone close to us, or a relationship breakdown, divorce, theft, a disability, illness, miscarriage and so on.
This course provides an online learning space for all people wishing to explore, learn, and connect around topics related to grief, grief-coping, loss, and grief support. Our courses don’t just educate about grief, they also provide practical coping tools and ideas for creative expression.
