· Do you feel confused over definitions of stress, sadness, grief, burnout, and complicated grief?
· Can a person recover from loss? What does recovery mean?
· Do you have a clear understanding of behaviours that indicate avoidance of grief? How does our culture support avoidance?
· What are the health benefits of grieving fully?
· Are there stages, steps or something pragmatic to cling to – so people know when “it’s” (grief) over?
· If you (and everyone else) had taken a course during your teen years on how to deal with loss – how might your life be different or better?
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS DAY
Gain some new perspectives on an old issue by: · Reviewing relevant, current and interesting research pertinent to helping professionals as well as to grievers · Clarifying differences between terms such as sadness, depression, complicated grief, and burnout · Gaining insight into how attitudes influence how we manage our own grief experience and assist others with their loss · Introducing the Grief Recovery Program as one method of working through grief · Learning about the health benefits of grief recovery · Myths about grief and loss · A new look at feelings associated with grief and loss
