Grieving Well in a World Full of Loss
Live long enough and loss will find you. Grief knocks on our door in many ways. We tend to think of death when we think of grief, but this is not the only loss that engages the grief process. Losses can look like the end of a relationship, the end of a job, moving locations, loss of safety, financial loss, loss of what we expected our future to look like, and so much more. Explore what grief looks like and ways to engage in grief related to losses of all kinds via guided study, personal reflection, and group discussion. More information...
Dates: July 5 - August 16 (7 weeks, with 1 week off in the middle)
Weekly group session by Zoom: Mondays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time (7/5, 7/12, 7/19, 8/2, 8/9, 8/16; no Zoom session 7/26)
Class is full, but please email us if you'd like to be put on the wait list.
