Loss and Grief: How to Live On

A programme for those grieving the loss of a loved one and for those who want to support them. You will study how grief works and why everyone has their own pace. Dedicated blocks cover the stages and waves of grief, shock and denial, anger and guilt, bargaining and depression, acceptance and integration, grief over different losses (death, divorce, loss of health, job, relocation), how to talk to children about death, how to support elderly parents, the practical tasks of the first weeks: documents, inheritance, funerals, finances, work and returning to routine, anniversaries and memorial dates, when grief becomes complicated and a specialist is needed. By the end you assemble a personal recovery plan and a list of supports.
