Grief Seminars - How to Prepare For One

broken image

The grief seminar is a time when comfort can be found by listening to experienced professionals who know the best ways of expressing their thoughts and feelings to help those in grief. This may take the form of an individual counseling session or group counseling, or even a series of one on one talks that allow you to find your place in the world and how to get through the difficult times ahead. If you have had the tragic loss of a loved one, you may be feeling confused, discouraged, angry and full of despair. The concept of grief is very complex and may seem hard to define. This website will help you begin to understand and discover more about this emotional state. 

In a bereavement seminar, you will find an experienced professional who has personally experienced a similar situation to yours and knows how you should go about the grieving process from start to finish. When someone close to you dies, the first emotions are usually worry and fear that have no clear definition. However, if you learn how to express your grief properly, you will begin to understand what it truly feels like to grieve.

A bereavement seminar is also beneficial for the individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer who have just had a death in the family. They can gain a better understanding of what they are going through before they go into the p.m. when they are ready to face the cancer battle with strength and hope. A bereavement seminar also comes in handy for teachers, professors or students who need a refresher course because they took a similar course the year before or for a similar event in the past.

There are two ways to find meaning in the grief experience. You can either choose to go directly to the p.m. or to hold your own private session. The first step is to accept that the death has occurred and that the grieving process is ongoing. Once you accept the inevitable reality of death, you can begin the process of finding meaning and making decisions about appropriate expressions of grief and celebration of life.

Holding a public session is a great way to show support and solidarity for other families going through the same difficult ordeal. Let your community members, friends and family know that you will be holding a grief conference at a convenient time during the month of October. Invite them to join you in a safe, comfortable, public setting. You can offer the public session before or after the funeral service. Invite them to come prepared to provide supportive information and comfort. In the safety of an environment designed for dialogue, people will be able to gather and make sense of the death and what life has brought them through this tragic experience.

When scheduling your a.m. session, be sure to request a Ceu Credit. The benefit of the Ceu Credit is that anyone can join us at a.m., whether they live in your community or not. They can also choose to be in the general membership class, if their schedule permits it. This is a great opportunity to network with those who have been coping with a loss of a loved one and gain insight and support from those who care.
