Understanding Grief: Caring for Yourself, Caring for Others

Bereavement is not about “recovery,” but rather, about finding renewed life. The basic task for a bereaved person is to learn to live in a radically changed world that no longer includes the physical relationship with our loved one. In this practical, community workshop, Dr. Bill Hoy will help bereaved people and those who care for them understand the practical steps to take charge of their grief and live again, even in the aftermath of incredible sorrow. For those in attendance who are curious about how to help, there will be ample ideas for the practical things to say and do (as well as to not say and do!)

During the workshop, we’ll find answers together to questions like:
• What simple actions can I take now to get my life back on track?
• Is what I’m feeling and seeing normal?
• How do I deal with well–meaning friends and their unwanted
advice?
• The holidays are coming; what in the world are we going to do
about them?

*This event is complimentary of Larkin Mortuary and registration is not required.
