Losing a loved one can have the ability to completely change the world as we know it. We may be left feeling vulnerable, uncertain of ourselves, and unsure how to move forward. Often the pain and distress we feel leads us to try to get rid of the pain and stop the memories of our loved one. But what if I told you that what is most helpful at this time is to move through the pain not go around it? And that it is completely possible to live a valued, purposeful life through enhancing the connection to, and memories of, your lost loved one? And that it’s absolutely possible for you to find joy again in the world?
A death of a loved one will always bring about pain, that can’t be changed, but often we can add unnecessary suffering to our experience by the way we respond. This workshop will provide a compassionate, connected space for you to allow your grief to be seen and validated by others who have first-hand experience of what you’re going through. It will provide space for you to reflect on the meaning you have created around the loss of your loved one and explore your personal experience of the grieving process, in turn, helping you identify the areas where healing still needs to happen. Together, we will walk the delicate tightrope between the light and dark elements of grief learning how to find calm in the midst of this change.
WHAT WE’LL BE DOING:
This weekend workshop is for anyone who has lost a loved one and feels stuck in the grieving process; for anyone who feels unable to move forward with meaning; for anyone who feels they’ve lost themselves and their value through the process of grief. Learn how to enrich your life again.
By the end of the weekend workshop, you will have a toolkit of strategies to help you;
*Tolerate distressing moments and memories,
*Regulate your emotional experience,
*Change the language you use with yourself to reduce your suffering,
*Communicate more effectively with others,
*Navigate workplaces and talking to kids about grief
*Find moments of vitality in your everyday
