UNPACK GRIEF: Lighten the Load of Loss
Event Information
Description
We should have learned this as kids!
It's a fact of life - we all have losses from time to time and feel bad. It's normal and natural. So why do we get stuck?
The reason lies in misunderstandings, myths, misinformation and help that is anything but normal and natural.
Our good intentions can hurt more than help.
We've all been there. When someone is hurting, we try to make them feel better or help them get over it, but we don't know what to say or do.
We rely on what we've always done - what we were taught by our parents and other authority figures - who were taught by their parents...Being stuck in grief is the result of those teachings.

We'll cover:
-

The Myths of handling grief that do more harm than good
