Part 1 will be an intro to Grief, providing vocabulary and sharing about various types of grief and loss. Grief in its simplest form is a response to a major life change, from becoming an empty nester, to losing a job, divorce, or breakup of a relationship, to passing of a loved one or a pet. Although nothing is comparable to the physical loss of a loved one, the stages of grief are similar--life as we know it has changed; things will never be the same, everything has changed. Grief needs to be recognized and witnessed.


Part 2 (Feb. 8) - Grieving & Grounding Spaces--How to create safe mental spaces & environment for processing and releasing grief. We will learn a few grounding techniques for self-regulation, and how to use art or music to release emotions. Opportunity for participants to share relatable experiences.
