Bereavement: an afternoon of conversation and learning.
About
This seminar is for anyone interested in caring for others in grief, and for those who have experienced grief.Grief is both a universal experience, and unique to each of us. It changes us, our relationships, and our faith. We will gather to learn about bereavement (the grief arising from death); to listen; to question; to reflect; and to enable St John’s to become a community skilled at bereavement literacy and support.
Do come prepared to reflect on any grief you’ve experienced. (However, if your own grief is very new or raw, this might not be the right time for you.)
