Help for the Whole Family in the Shadow of Grief and Mourning
A Supportive Resource for Facilitators, Educators, Counselors and Families
The experience of grief and mourning comes in many forms and with multiple challenges, every one with uncertainties, illnesses, accidents, deaths - all unwelcome changes - accompanied by the loss of our dreams and hopes. When someone we love dies we are left stunned and unprepared for life without them. We seek solace from the pain and a way to learn to breathe again as a family as we cope with a life without our loved ones one awful day at a time. Hopefully, in time we reconcile this loss as a part of our lives and may even begin to adopt a mission to help others as we were helped through this journey of reconciling grief and mourning.
Too often, families crumble and dissolve under the weights of grief and mourning. By offering those in your family opportunities to grieve their losses and acknowledge the reality and pain t5hat accompanies those “griefs,” you give them tools and strategies to cope with the ongoing struggles that are a natural part of everyone’s life.
Please join us as we attempt to provide tools (explanations, tasks of mourning, permission to re-connect and re-member your loved one, stories, developmental helps, parenting guides, family strengths and healing strategies, journaling and memorial suggestions, and book recommendations) that will pull your family together and pool your resources on this journey of hope and reconciliation.
