Grief: What All Mourners Need to Know

The process of grief, especially for someone experiencing their first or most significant loss, is bewildering, agonizing, and often fraught with self-doubt. Our society neither understands nor supports healthy mourning, which makes a painful time even worse. The process can be made a bit easier (but not easy) by understanding the nature of grief and what to expect. Join us as we discuss and explore the following:

What exactly is grief, and why does it hurt so deeply?
Healthy grief vs. complicated grief: How to tell them apart, and when to seek help.
The critical task that all mourners face -- the quality of your future depends on it.
Do’s and Don’ts of healthy mourning.
The role of others in mourning, and how to cope with those who may be insensitive to your needs.
