In this discussion workshop, we will discuss a range of issues surrounding spirituality and bereavement.

‘There is no “one size fits all” in coping with grief.’ In this workshop, we will discuss the many varied strategies we used to cope with the enormity of our loss.

There are plenty of myths about grief such as “You’ll get over it” or “When you’re not crying, you’re not grieving”. In this session we will unearth many myths, why some (or many) of those myths can trouble us, and consider what we’d prefer people to know and believe about grief and bereavement.

Everyone has different needs in terms of support through their grief, and this session will discuss how counselling might assist some individuals on their grief journey. He will examine counselling expectations, define “effective” counselling, discuss how bereaved individuals can identify the right type of counselling for themselves, and how they might get the best benefit from a counselling experience.
